“When a killer targets Gotham City’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle, The Penguin, Carmine Falcone and The Riddler,” the summary goes. “As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, The Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.”
Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro and Peter Sarsgaard are also in the cast.
Reeves directed the movie and he and Peter Craig wrote the screenplay, based on characters from DC. Batman was created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger.
