Directed by Zack Snyder (Man of Steel) from a script by Chris Terrio (Argo) and David Goyer (Batman Begins, Man of Steel), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice puts the two iconic heroes on a collision course when the aftermath of Superman’s actions in Man of Steel leaves some fearing Earth’s new, godlike protector and others worshipping him.

Bruce Wayne faces the Riddler in a new clip from The Batman
Bruce Wayne looks on stoically in The Batman.

Aside from a few promotional images and two trailers, audiences were largely in the dark as to the look and feel of The Batman. Would it be as dark and serious as the Nolan films? Or would director Matt Reeves lean more into Tim Burton's "loner outsider" angle that dominated his 1989 and 1992 films? Today, that all changed as Warner Bros. released the first clip from ita=s forthcoming reboot, which solidifies early expectations that the film will be an intense ride.

In the clip, a somber Bruce Wayne is seen talking to a politician as he enters a cathedral to attend a funeral. As he glimpses young boy who resembles his younger, orphaned self, he overhears James Gordon talking to another cop about the disappearance of Gil Colson. His eavesdropping is suddenly disturbed by escalating screams outside the cathedral. As the sounds of a car speeding outside increase, Wayne looks up to see a shadowy figure, the Riddler, standing on a balcony looking down at him. A car then crashes into the church and stops, allowing the Gotham City Police Department to surround it and see a man emerging: Colson. Wired with a bomb and a ringing cellphone, the clearly captive Colson reveals a letter attached to his chest with the words "To The Batman" written in black ink.
