Matt Reeves has given us our first new tidbit of official goodness for THE BATMAN. Ahead of this Saturday's FanDome panel, Matt Reeves The Batman logo has been unveiled as well as an exclusive promo poster for the big screen return of The Dark Knight.
The poster, designed by DC’s chief creative officer Jim Lee, presents the legendary creator's stylish take on Robert Pattinson's Batman. According to Reeves, he and the studio will offer fans their first honest to goodness look at his upcoming film this Saturday.

While filming on THE BATMAN has hit a few snags due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was reported yesterday that production is expected to restart in early September in the U.K. at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. While this is fantastic news indeed, the gap in production has forced Warner Bros. to delay the release of the film until October 1, 2021.
Directed and co-written by Matt Reeves with Mattson Tomlin, THE BATMAN stars Robert Pattinson (THE LIGHTHOUSE, TENET), Zoe Kravitz (X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, MAD MAX: FURY ROAD), Colin Farrell (IN BRUGES, SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS), Paul Dano (THERE WILL BE BLOOD, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE), Andy Serkis (BLACK PANTHER, THE WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES), Peter Sarsgaard (JARHEAD, KINSEY), John Turturro (THE BIG LEBOWSKI, O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?), and Jeffrey Wright (WESTWORLD, BROKEN FLOWERS).
Reeves' THE BATMAN is expected to present fans with a more grounded take on the World's Greatest Detective, while also featuring a who's who of Gotham's worst with villains like Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, and Carmine Falcone all expected to play a part in the events to come.
What do you all think of the new logo for THE BATMAN? And how about that poster? Do you think DC will offer mail order prints of Lee's art for those attending DC Fandome? I certainly hope so.
