During the various presentations of the film and the many interviews granted by Matt Reeves, the director, or by the actors, we learned that this Batman would be a tortured, revenge-ridden vigilante, particularly motivated by the idea of making his fists speak, and inspired by rockstars such as Kurt Cobain.
A situation that greatly worries Alfred, his butler played by Andy Serkis, and which earned The Batman a PG-13 rating in the USA. In other words, spectators under 13 must be accompanied by an adult to follow the session. The MPAA, which is in charge of classifying the films, indicates that we will find disturbing content, pronounced violence, swear words, mention of drugs and some so-called suggestive scenes. Highly anticipated, especially since the release of the DC Fandome trailer, the film had not yet revealed its duration.
It is now done, as evidenced by an update of the sheet The Batman on ImdB. According to this file, the film will last two hours and fifty-five minutes, that is to say 175 minutes total. A record duration for a Batman film, since the longest until today was The Dark Knight Rises by Christopher Nolan, who lasts 164 minutes. It also matches recent rumours, which evoked two montages of 3 hours. However, we remain far enough from the Snyder Cut of Justice League, which lasts no less than 4:02, and in which Ben Affleck’s Batman plays a major role.
Remember that the rest of the cast is made up of Zoe Kravitz (Catwoman), Colin Farrel (The Penguin), Paul Dano (The Mystery Man), Jeffrey Wright (James Gordon), or even John Turturro (Carmine Falcone). Communication around the feature film has recently been accelerated with setting up a treasure hunt. Codes to be deciphered referred to a site, on which it was necessary to answer the riddles of the Riddler to unlock new artworks. To find out if the film is as good as it is promising in its trailers, see you in theaters in less than two months!
