The Batman Trailer Breakdown: 20 Things You Must See

3. An Explosive Memorial

This is a scene we saw quite a bit of in the 2020 teaser - so much so that we can almost piece it together beat-for-beat.

Bruce is attending what looks like a memorial service (presumably for that man in the painting on the left, which is reportedly Rupert Penry-Jones as mayor Don Mitchell). Midway through, that graffitied car smashes through the scene, and a man steps out, wired with explosives.

Somehow, Bruce then has time to change into his Batman outfit and watch this man explode. Seems a bit speedy, even by Batman standards!

Regardless of how the scene plays out, it looks like Riddler's plan involves targeting high-ranking officials (the mayor, the police commissioner, the district attorney), which would definitely be an effective way to force Batman's involvement.
