One final silhouette shot to cap the trailer off, with Batman walking coolly towards a car-crashed Penguin, as a fire billows in the background.

Though he's relatively new on the scene, there's no doubt that this is an extremely capable Dark Knight, who's feared by Gotham's criminal scum. Just look at the terror on Penguin's face here - the poor guy looks like he's seen a ghost.

Batman uses a ton of brute force, sure - especially this one! But above all else, he should be a symbol of fear, and based on this trailer, it looks like Reeves and Pattinson have nailed both sides of the character.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
