Get ready to sit back and enjoy a lot of Batman because Matt Reeves reboot of the Dark Knight is reportedly 3 hours long!
That’s the longest of any film starring the Dark Knight, and one of the longest for any superhero pic playing in theaters, behind ‘Avengers: Endgame.’
“The Batman” finds Robert Pattinson following in the footsteps of Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck and more by taking over the role of Bruce Wayne on the big screen. Pattinson stars opposite Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton/Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as Gil Colson, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth and Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin.
Reactions to “The Batman” trailers have compared Reeves’ vision to the dark crime atmosphere of David Fincher’s films, and a 167-minute runtime would imply Reeves is taking the slow-burn detective route. Some people are even referring to the upcoming film as a horror film.
Either way it will have to really be good to separate itself from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. I mean how many times can you keep rebooting Batman and starting him from scratch. Another thing this film has going against (or maybe for it according to some) it is NOT apart of the bigger DCEU. So don’t expect Pattinson’s Batman to run into Gadot’s Wonder Woman or Momoa’s Aquaman.
The Batman swings into theaters this March.
