THE BATMAN IN CINEMAS 4 MARCH Director Matt Reeves / Starring Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano / Genre Action, Crime, Thriller Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman, striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies – Alfred Pennyworth and Lt James Gordon – amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens. When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the city’s underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle, Oswald Cobblepot, Carmine Falcone, and Edward Nashton. As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham. Robert Pattinson stars in the dual role of Gotham’s vigilante and his alter ego, reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne, and leads an all-star ensemble cast. Co-starring as Gotham’s famous and infamous characters are Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Jayme Lawson, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell.
