The Batman is again pushed back to the 2022 release. It is an upcoming Matt Reeves movie with a new Caped Crusader as Robert Pattinson.
The Batman is an upcoming superhero movie based on the DC Comics of the same name. Matt Reeves is the director of the film, and Peter Craig writes the screenplay. Pattinson is in the movie as Bruce Wayne or the Batman along with other actors like Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, Zoe Kravitz, Barry Keoghan, Andy Serkis, Jayme Lawson, and Colin Farrell. And fans are impatiently waiting to watch the Reeve’s kind of Batman, but due to many challenges and circumstances, Warner Bros. has to push the releasing date back by several months.
The Batman is set during the hero’s second year of fighting crimes and which follows the corruption of Gotham City, a riddle obsessed serial killer, and faces the Riddler.
Originally the movie was being developed by Ben Affleck who later stepped down from direction in 2017 and stuck to the writing, producing, and acting of the film after that Reeves took over the directorial part and reworked on the story of the younger Batman. In 2019, Affleck left the project entirely, and Pattinson is then cast as the new Batman for the film.
The shooting of the movie started in London, England in January 2020 but the shoot was delayed due to the global pandemic COVID-19. The filming resumed in early September, but the team again had to halt it because as few days Pattinson was tested COVID-19 positive. However, the shooting continued after two weeks with Robert returning safely.
Now Warner Bros. has decided to release the most anticipated movie, The Batman on 4 March 2022 instead of the October release in 2021.
The delay by the team and the production makes sense as during this challenging time the crew has to work accordingly. While most countries are frightened that the cold will hit in the health crisis might become deadlier. And knowing the chances, the shooting of the movie might again shut down with no clear timeline. Warner Bros. also would plan it more strategically by forcing the matter not making the original target date. Hence, it is essential to reschedule the slate to have the luxury of picking the prime slots.
Meanwhile, superhero movies offer different excitement to the public, and hence the franchise can expect a big box office haul despite the delay. It is also good to note that Pattinson and Reeves’ The Batman is releasing three-week before the release of Doctor Strange of Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The above are some latest updates regarding the movie The Batman. I hope you liked the article.
