`We've only shot 25% of the movie,` said The Batman director Matt Reeves today during his DC Fandome panel, `but there was no way I couldn't show part of the movie.`

Shooting halted in mid-March due to the pandemic, but The Batman is going back before the cameras in the UK next month at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. Reportedly, set construction began last month.

`He's not having any of the effect that he want to have, that's when the murders begin to happen,` added the filmmaker.

`'Let's play again, me and you, any of this mean anything to you?'` Jeffrey Wright's James Gordon asks Batman as they inspect a murder scene in the trailer. `This epic history of corruption in Gotham: Where did (his) family sit in that?,` says Reeves, `at the end, it's very personal for him.`

The trailer looks great. Check it out. Very dark. It's got the '70s tones of Todd Phillips' Joker.



`Paul Dano plays a version of the Riddler you've never seen before,` he adds, `he's just emerging.` Ditto for Andy Serikis' Alfred and Colin Farrell's Oswald Cobblepot aka The Penguin. `Selina isn't Catwoman yet,` said Reeves.
