Batman fans can now read the screenplay for The Dark Knight’s latest big screen adventure. Deadline has released the script for director Matt Reeves’ The Batman as part of its Read The Screenplay series.
The Batman’s screenplay was written by Reeves and Peter Craig. The film follows a young Batman/Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson) who works with Jim Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) to stop the serial killer known as the Riddler (Paul Dano). This leads to Batman teaming up with Catwoman/Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz). Batman also agrees to help Catwoman find her missing friend Annika Kosolov. Batman and Gordon must also deal with the corruption in Gotham City under crime boss Carmine Falcone (John Turturro).
The screenplay also features a deleted scene from the film where Batman goes to speak with the Joker (Barry Keoghan) at Arkham Asylum. In the scene, Batman asks the criminal his thoughts on what type of person the Riddler may be. In the final version of the film, the Joker’s only appearance was towards the end when he introduced himself to the Riddler/Edward Nashton in Arkham.
