Details of Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” keep on coming as production continues and we get closer to the release date of the DC film. After giving fans a peek at Robert Pattinson’s Batsuit via a camera test video, some more information about the film has been revealed, which tells us that this will not be yet another “Year One” scenario for Batman, but instead a Year Two.

According to a new report by The Wrap, “The Batman” will take place during Bruce Wayne’s second year as The Dark Knight of Gotham City. We’ve known for a while that Matt Reeves didn’t want to do an origin story, but we didn’t know the precise timeline before. Being that Christopher Nolan’s “Batman Begins” was heavily inspired by Frank Miller’s “Year One” it is a good sign that we’re avoiding a repeat of this… by moving the story a year forward in time. This would mean that Batman already has some of his iconography, like the suit, the car, and has already fought most of his rogues’ gallery, but he still isn’t a seasoned crime fighter who hates everyone and everything like dear old Batfleck.

To coincide with Reeves sharing the video of the Batsuit, Jeffrey Wright took to Twitter to share a very blurry first look at what seems to be the new Batsignal. Based on this image alone the Batlogo must be very small, because it’s basically invisible. Likewise, Gotham seems to be nearly devoid of buildings, as there’s only a couple of other buildings in the background. Maybe this is before they build all the skyscrapers? Or it was shot during a blackout that impacted everyone but the GCPD?

“The Batman” will also star a host of villains from The Dark Knight’s rogues gallery including The Penguin (Colin Farrell), Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz), The Riddler (Paul Dano), and Carmine Falcone (John Turturro). Andy Serkis is set to play Alfred Pennyworth.

“The Batman” will hit theaters on June 25, 2021.
