The Batman

The Batman teaser looks nice in a “not an origin, going straight to a Dark Knight style villain conflict” kind of way. Batman is a character meant to be ongoing, so this seems like the obvious setup.

Compared to the Affleck mask, the Pattinson mask does a much better job of concealing his identity. And the eye makeup necessary to make the mask work doesn’t magically vanish when it comes off like the Keaton mask!

(The Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman 1984 trailers look good too, but established settings get my speculation engine firing up less.)

Glasgow Necropolis is suitably Gotham-y. And Gotham in general is fairly World Of Darkness, in a more low-key way.

The use of a remix or very close cover of Something In The Way by Nirvana works for me too as a grunge goth kid.

Though I’m shocked that it’s been over twelve hours and I can’t find the teaser redubbed with Untitled Self Portrait by Lego Batman.

Edit a day later: We do have The Bat Parade from video editor Maddy Gibbons.

Edit: FOUND IT
