- Batman/Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson) The brooding Batman (and boy does he brood) is brought to you by none other than Robert Pattinson. As Bruce Wayne he is the loneliest billionaire orphan in Gotham, who is keen on aggressive eyeliner and very emotional journaling.
- Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz) Following in the big screen cat-footsteps of Michelle Pfieffer and Anne Hathaway, Zoë Kravitz puts on the catsuit as Selina Kyle, a small-time burglar and employee of mob boss Carmine Falcone (John Turturro).
- Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin (Colin Farrell) Waddle this way! An unrecognizable Colin Farrell stars as Oswald Cobblepot aka the Penguin, an enforcer for Falcone who operates out of the club where Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) works.
- The Riddler (Paul Dano) Riddle me this, riddle me that, the Riddler is here to antagonize the Bat. The last time the Riddler was on the big screen, he was played by Jim Carrey in a performance that can comfortably be called over-the-top.

As a Batman solo movie, it should come as no surprise that The Batman features Bruce Wayne in the leading role. This Batman is in the early days of his crime-fighting career and has a lower-tech quality than more recent big-screen interpretations of the character. His Batcave is much smaller and less impressive than what was featured in the Dark Kn...
A new movie Batman also means another version of his trusty butler Alfred Pennyworth. The Batman's Alfred is played by Andy Serkis, and his casting could signal somewhat of a change in the Alfred-Bruce dynamic. This new Alfred is much closer in age to Bruce, which could allow him to be more of a contemporary instead of an older man watching over th...
The Batman includes a brand new version of Jim Gordon, played by Jeffrey Wright. Unlike all previous versions of Gordon on the big screen, The Batman features the first Gordon to be portrayed as a Black man. Gordon is not the commissioner of the GCPD when the movie begins. He does appear to have a working relationship with Batman already, though, a...
Oswald Cobblepot is slated to appear in The Batman, with an unrecognizable Colin Farrell playing the DC villain. Better known as The Penguin in the comics, Cobblepot is not the high-level crime leader many expected him to be. Matt Reeves confirmed that Oswald isn't an experience mob boss when the movie takes place. He is known as The Penguin alread...
Selina Kyle will appear in The Batman as well, with Zoë Kravitz playing the latest take on Catwoman. There isn't a lot of official information on Selina Kyle's role. The trailer teased her burglary activities and encountering Batman, but it isn't clear if they have a history in the movie. Catwoman and Batman have been enemies, allies, and even love...
The main villain of The Batman is Edward Nashton aka The Riddler, played by Paul Dano. The movie's version of Riddler goes by his regular name and not the Edward Nygma name he gives himself. This take on the classic DC villain is much more grounded than past incarnations and has none of the usual markings for his comic look. Nashton's costume has m...
The Batman also includes a new take on Carmine Falcone, as played by John Turturro. The mafia crime lord is a central figure in Gotham's underworld and will serve a similar function in the movie. Falcone has a history with the Wayne family in the comics, as Thomas Wayne saved his life when Carmine was nearly killed during a gangster war. He becomes...
Peter Sarsgaard will portray Gil Colson in The Batman. An original character for Reeves' movie, Colson is the District Attorney of Gotham City. Sarsgaard has teased that Colson has trouble telling the truth and is "a pretty distasteful person." The trailers for The Batman have linked Colson to Riddler in a surprising way, and his political reputati...
The Batman features Barry Keoghan as a GCPD officer named Stanley Merkel. The character has a short history in DC Comics, where he was Jim Gordon's first partner. Merkel's time fighting crime alongside Gordon didn't last long. He was killed by the DC villain Hangman and left on Harvey Dent's property. Keoghan has previously appeared in Dunkirk and ...
Another new character created for The Batman is Pete Savage, played by Alex Ferns. He is the commissioner of the GCPD and its many officers, which includes Jim Gordon and Stanley Merkel. It is unknown if he is doing good with his position of power or if he's part of the corruption that continues to plague Gotham. Ferns has previously appeared in Ea...

May 11, 2020 · Matt Reeves shared this photo himself, which shows Batman standing next to the new Batmobile.

This next set-photo shows the character on his signature Batcycle.
