The Batman Fan Art The Dark Knight Rises
A stunning fanmade poster for The Batman calls back to the duvet of The Dark Knight Returns magazine . The upcoming film is about to reboot the Dark Knight once more on the large screen, with Robert Pattinson donning the cowl and Matt Reeves (War for the earth of the Apes) directing. Production of the film came to a halt in mid-March thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and had only recently started copy when, earlier this month, Pattinson tested positive for coronavirus. The actor has since recovered, thankfully, and therefore the production, which is 25% completed, has resumed fully swing.
Details are still hard to return by regarding the film's plot. From sparing glimpses at the rogues' gallery, we do know that Pattinson's Batman will come up against Zoe Kravitz's Catwoman, Colin Farrell's Penguin, and Paul Dano's Riddler, who appears to be the film's main villain. the primary trailer for the film features the Riddler's brutal murder of the Gotham City mayor, indicating a dark theme in line with the Christopher Nolan entries within the Batman film canon.
The image features a silhouetted Batman leaping across the Gotham rooftops on a dark and stormy night, illuminated solely by a lightning strike that appears to streak throughout his head. It's impressive in its title , barren of color and like film noir, but its most intriguing facet is that the callback to The Dark Knight Returns. the duvet of the 1986 comic miniseries features similar imagery—Batman mid-leap, looking poised to return down on a foe with a flash of lightning silhouetting his body against a dull blue . Baslajik's piece shows Batman almost gliding at a distance.
Less of an action star and more of a mysterious force, the Batman in Baslajik's art falls in line with the direction of the character within the upcoming film. The Batman will reckon with the hero as a renowned detective, featuring a more thoughtful and clever Dark Knight than we've previously seen within the DCEU, starring alongside combative superheroes. Fans like Baslajik are even as wanting to see Bruce Wayne back on the large screen whether he's wringing necks or wracking his brain.
