The new Batman movie is being directed by Matt Reeves who previously had helmed Planet of the Apes. In the movie, Batman is in his second year of vigilantism and is trying to solve a series of gruesome serial killings.

The case causes him to cross paths with Paul Dano's The Riddler, Zoë Kravitz's Selina Kyle (before she becomes the criminal Catwoman), and the underworld figure Oswald Cobblepot, nicknamed The Penguin behind his back, played by Colin Farrell.
