“It’s not just a call… It’s a warning.” While fans were knocked out with the second trailer forThe Batmanfrom DC Fandome this weekend, in TV land, Warner Bros. is making sure the news is out with a new TV spot. I’ve seen the trailer a few times, and it looks as though fans and naysayers alike are going to embrace our new Caped Crusader. Check it out!
WhenThe Batman trailer #2dropped this weekend, you saw plenty of eyebrows raised from the ‘Sparkle Batman’ camp. The trailer has the darkness, the mystery, the action, and, in my very humble opinion, a highly competent and compelling Bruce Wayne. It might be that I missed theTwilightmovies, but I just see a young Bruce Wayne on his path to vengeance, and I’m pumped! If you didn’t tune in to DC Fandome, here’s the latest trailer.
Paul Dano’s Riddleris only revealed in his voice and a view of his back, and he’s completely menacing! The Batmobile taking a flying leap through the wall of flames, which we also saw in the stunning4K trailer for The Batman, coupled with the upside down perspective of the driver as Batman approaches, I’m in! They don’t reveal Zoë Kravitz in full Catwoman action, but you may tell she’s ready to scrap!
The official release reads, “From Warner Bros.
