The Batman Trailer Breakdown: 20 Things You Must See
20. Time For A Riddle
The trailer opens with the Gotham City Police Department capturing the Riddler, played by actor Paul Dano.
Dano's previous movie credits include Looper, There Will Be Blood, and Swiss Army Man. He's one of those actors who hasn't quite achieved AAA stardom levels, but people will still recognise whenever he pops up.
This dinghy, unkempt area of Gotham he's lurking in is reminiscent of the Narrows from Batman Begins - a more dangerous, less desirable part of the city that's inhabited by the lower classes. Perhaps Reeves is going for a similar thing here.
Riddler's capture also feels a little too easy, so it's possible he's pulling one of those "villain gets captured on purpose" schemes that will result in him busting out of prison later on, just like the Joker in The Dark Knight.
Either way, he also wastes a delicious-looking, frothy cup of coffee, so he definitely deserves to be locked up.
