In this era of sci-fi and story-based movies, superhero movies are still holding their ground as one of the most-watched genres. This was evident when the trailer of “The Batman” burst on the scene on Monday. The much-awaited DC film trailer is making considerable hype on the internet as well as social media platforms.
The official synopsis of the Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz starrer reads, “Two years of stalking the street as the Batman, striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City.” Directed by Matt Reeves, the movie is scheduled to release exclusively in theatres on March 4, 2022.
Here are the five reasons why this much-anticipated movie can be a super hit.
1. A Well-compiled Trailer
The newly dropped trailer of “The Batman” might be one of the prominent reasons behind the anticipated success of the movie. The trailer is very well put together. It gives us glimpses of all the important characters but does not give away too much. All in all, it has managed to create a hype that will surely help the movie succeed.
2. A Visionary Director
Matt Reeves is hailed as one of the most visionary directors in the world of cinema. His work in the Planet of the Apes Trilogy has earned him many fans and admirers—lauding his mastery in visual and emotionally-honest storytelling. It is safe to say that we can expect this movie to reflect his genius as he has also penned the screenplay alongside Peter Craighe.
3. Engaging Plot
The plot of the movie, from what we’ve seen in the trailer, seems engaging. The trailer named “The Cat and the Bat” seems to put a significant focus on the growing relationship between Batman and the Catwoman. The duo of Batman and Catwoman can be seen teaming up against The Riddler played by Paul Dono. The trailer also shows that the movie has the classic DC elements which will surely captivate the audience.
4. Top-notch Acting
Top-notch acting has always been a feature of Batman movies, and this one also seems to have followed the footsteps of its previous versions. From Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz to Andy Serkis and Colin Ferrell, all the actors look convincing and believable in the trailer. This can surely be a factor that engages more audiences into watching this movie.
5. Inclination towards Out-of-the-box Movies
If you analyze the statistics of the recently-released movies, you will notice a pattern that superhero movies like Spider-Man and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings are grossing more than some of the normal movies like House of Gucci, West Side Story, etc. The prominent reason behind this pattern can be the increasing hype among youth for these action-packed adventures. Also, the audience is inclining more towards out-of-the-box topics over traditional stories. Moving forward, this may be a huge plus for movies like “The Batman”.
