The first trailer ofThe Batmanwas released at the recently held DC FanDome event on 22nd August. Directed by Matt Reeves,The Batmanboasts of a stellar cast with Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin, Paul Dano as Edward Nygma/The Riddler, Jeffery Wright as Commissioner James Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and John Turturro as Carmine Falcone.
Prior to the release of the first trailer, Matt Reeves had confirmed that his take onThe Batmanwould be detective-noir in style, a marked departure from all the previous iterations of the Dark Knight. As only 25-30% of the filming has been done, the first trailer did a remarkable job in setting the tone and theme ofThe Batman.
Following the footsteps of Zack Snyder’s iteration, Matt Reeves has not shied away from making his version of Batman a dark and violent vigilante. Apart from killing, Robert Pattinson’s Batman is every bit graphic and mature like Ben Affleck’s Batman, if not more.
Known for being extremely selective, Matt Reeves’ choice for the Dark Knight was initially met with a flurry of memes and jokes. But after the first trailer was released, a lot of people have reconsidered their stance and willing to give Pattinson the chance he deserves.
Matt Reeves’ attention to detail is not just limited to actors, but also set locations, background scores, and this time, trailer music. If the first look ofThe Batmanwas not dark enough, using Nirvana’sSomething In The Waysurely did put across the message about how the movie is going to be.
Something In The Wayis one of the darkest songs written by the late Kurt Cobain. Often overshadowed by more popular songs likeSmells Like Teen Spirit,Come As You Are, andLithium,Something In The Waywas allegedly written by Cobain while he was homeless.
It is believed that Kurt Cobain slept under the Young Street Bridge when he was kicked out of his house to find a job. Described as one of the loneliest and most haunting periods of Cobain’s life,Something In The Waywas his most personal song. So, what does it signify inTheBatman‘s trailer?
