As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. So, if that’s true, director
Matt Reeves‘ take on
The Batman should be a box office hit with several Oscar nominations to boot.
Over a year has passed since Warner Bros. began planning the Robert Pattinson-led film, but fans of the DC comic are no closer to seeing the movie in theaters.
On Oct. 5, it was confirmed that The Batman‘s release would be delayed for the second time. Warner Bros. now projects a March 2022 premiere, almost a year after its original June 2021 date.
Understandably, this has caused frustration for Batman enthusiasts across the board.
Nonetheless, Reeves, Pattinson, Colin Farrell and Zoë Kravitz are satisfying fan’s need for content with photos taken on set in Liverpool, England. The trio of stars were spotted in all their glory, which only served to create more excitement for the highly-anticipated project.

Robert Pattinson
At the end of May 2019, news broke that the
Twilight alum had
landed the special gig of playing Bruce Wayne / the Caped Crusader in
The Batman.
Nicholas Hoult,
Armie Hammer and
Aaron Taylor-Johnson were also rumored contenders for the role. But alas, it’s R-Patts who is wearing the Batsuit.
He and the rest of the cast are filming the Matt Reeves project following delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Colin Farrell
Speculation about Colin’s potential role as The Penguin began swirling in November 2019. Two months later, the film’s director also confirmed the news with a gif of Farrell, “Wait—is that you, #Oz?” he
tweeted, referring to the villain’s real name Oswald.
Now that filming is well underway, fans have seen the actor’s impressive transformation into the villain. In fact, his makeover was so good, fans almost didn’t recognize him.
