Meanwhile, Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever lasted 2 hours and 1 minute.
The Warner Bros and DC superhero will continue to fight crime in the second year. Bruce Wayne will uncover corruption and fight the villain as Batman to unite his family and save Gotham City from a serial killer, the Riddler.
Robert Pattinson will essay the titular role, followed by Paul Dano playing the Riddler, Zoe Kravitz as the Catwoman, and Colin Farrell transforming into the Penguin. The other cast includes Barry Keoghan, Peter Sarsgaard, Amber Sienna, Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright, and John Turturro.
