Warner Bros. has finally given us a new look at The Batman — and it promises an even darker Dark Knight from Robert Pattinson, who dons the cape and cowl for the first time in the role. The trailer was revealed as part of this year's DC FanDome event today, which unveiled a lot of news, announcements, and other fun surprises from fan-favorite movies, TV shows, video games, and more in the DC universe.

The trailer introduces us to the serial killer who will prove to be one of Batman's biggest foes in the upcoming film — the Riddler, played by Paul Dano. As the longtime Gotham baddie gets apprehended at a local diner by Jim Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) and co., it turns out that locking the Riddler up behind bars might only make him a more dangerous enemy for the Caped Crusader. We're also introduced to even more of Zoë Kravitz's Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, sporting several wig disguises for her cat burgling activities — all of which cover up the stunning dark crop of her real hair. (Of course, it wouldn't be a Batman trailer without a little BatCat rooftop moment, either.)

The trailer also treats us to more footage of Colin Farrell in the role of the Penguin, who seems to operate more as an agent of chaos in direct opposition to Riddler's more controlled and methodical approach to crime. We also get our first good look at Andy Serkis as ever-loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth — looking appropriately worried for Master Wayne, as always. Given the brief glimpse of Bruce's equally ripped and scarred-up back after what is only this incarnation's second year behind the mask, maybe those worries aren't completely unfounded.
