The first footage of the upcoming iteration of Batman, a film titled The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves, dropped on the internet at DC FanDome. The movie showed us first look at Robert Pattison as the caped crusader. Jokes about how he's a terrible vampire who took 10 years to transform into a bat since Twilight are a rage on the internet. But jokes are also rife on how terrifically unrecognisable Colin Farrel is looking in the teaser. Seriously, chances are good that some members of the audience even missed out on Farrel's appearance. The Batman: 5 Pointers Director Matt Reeves Revealed About Robert Pattinson's Film at the DC Fandome Panel.

Colin plays the role of the DC villain The Penguin in the movie. He has been stripped off of his thick eyebrows. He has been given a sharper nose. Prosthetics make him look older. And well, some fans feel the makers could have simply hired Richard Kind for the role, given how similar Colin is looking to him after all the makeup.

Yes, That's Colin Farrel

Richard Kind Would Have Been Better?

Whoa!

Unrecognisable

At the panel at DC FanDome, director Reeves said that The Batman will be an origin story for The Penguin, Catwoman and The Riddler. "It’s actually in a weird way the origins of a lot of our Rogues Gallery characters. Selina isn’t Catwoman yet, that’s actually part of the journey. Oz is not yet the kingpin that he’s going to become, he’s The Penguin and in fact, doesn’t like being called The Penguin. And The Riddler is just emerging for the first time," he said.
