When a killer begins targeting Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic torture scenarios, Batman will embark on an investigation into a trail of cryptic clues that leads him to an underworld filled with familiar characters ranging from Selina Kyle, The Penguin, and Carmine Falcone to The Riddler.

Aiding Batman in his efforts to unmask Gotham’s latest threat is James Gordon, played by Westworld‘s Jeffrey Wright. Following the clues, when they lead closer to home, the mastermind’s plans become clearer and The Batman must forge new relationships to bring justice to the city laden with corruption.

Along with Pattinson and Wright, the film features Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton/The Riddler, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson, Jayme Lawson as Bella Reál, Andy Serkis as Alfred, and Colin Farrell as Oz, otherwise known as The Penguin.

Following the theatrical release of the movie, HBO Max ordered a Penguin-centric series that will star Colin Farrell’s Oz. So, tune in when The Batman begins streaming for an introduction to his character and catch the movie when it airs on HBO.
