The Batman is directed by Matt Reeves, whose credit includes Let Me In, War for the Planet of the Apes, and Cloverfield. The Batman is set to be released on March 4, 2022. It has an incredible cast of Robert Pattinson in the iconic role of Bruce Wayne aka Batman, and Zoë Kravitz as Seline Kyle aka Catwoman.
