The Batman with Robert Pattinson will explore a stage that we rarely see - Hollywood News
The Bat-Man film directed by Matt Reeves is going to turn the character's story upside down. Or at least that is what it seems.
Born as one more installment of the new DC universe that Warner Bros. wanted to develop after The Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and Wonder Woman, The Batman emerges, however, as a film with a style independent that has us quite intrigued. The arrival of Matt Reeves as director and the choice of Robert Pattinson as the protagonist turned the project upside down and presented it to the audience as something unique.
Now, from ScreenRant, we know that it will be based on a period that few movies or superhero sagas explore. The Batman is going to recount Bruce Wayne's second year as the Bat-Man, so it won't be an origins movie, but we won't see him as an established Gotham hero either. What are we going to witness instead? Well, the path of hard work that he has to travel to become the vigilante that we all have in mind.
As stated in this medium, it is a stage of the heroes that rarely appears in the movies. In general, they start with an origin story where we explore their traumas, fears, and empowerment. In the first film, they experiment with their skills and do not go beyond their first steps. However, in the second installments, they usually introduce us to the protagonist already settled in his new condition and has taken a great leap in his training. What about the work in between? It seems that is what Reeves and Pattinson want to tell.

That is, The Batman is going to explain what happens after the initial transformation but before it is fully developed. We will find a Batman who is gaining popularity in Gotham but is not yet fully prepared. He struggles with his insecurities, begins to prepare his tools, and makes mistakes.
Many will be thinking of another film that broke all the schemes, Todd Phillips' Joker. Reeves' words about the film last August made many think of Joaquin Phoenix's incarnation of the villain. The film is a detective story, a thriller set in the world of the police, and because it deals with issues such as corruption, we approach the story of this Batman as if it could have happened. The idea is that Batman doesn't have the ability to have superhero powers, just a superhero focus and drive.
