The first-ever footage from Robert Pattinson's Batman just released online, and fans are loving it!

In an online event hosted on Saturday, Hollywood A-listers and their comic-book alter egos enjoyed an evening full of surprises as a strikingly darker version of Gotham City was revealed, as compared to its previous cinematic adaptations.

Set to the haunting soundtrack of ‘Something in the Way’ by Nirvana, glimpses of Zoë Kravitz were also seen as Catwoman.

We see the infamous Riddler leaving notes for Batman at crime scenes across Gotham, and the film's hero pummelling a street thug before growling, "I'm vengeance," the teaser has definitely left the audience wanting more.

Written by Matt Reeves & Peter Craig, the film is being produced by Reeves and Dylan Clark, with Simon Emanuel, Michael E. Uslan, Walter Hamada, and Chantal Nong Vo serving as executive producers.

Expected to release in 2021, the film is inspired by classic noirs like Chinatown and Taxi Driver, and stars a "very human and very flawed" Bruce Wayne in his second year as Batman, trying to solve a series of crimes, director Reeves revealed.
