It’s been a long wait for Bruce Wayne fans, but the first full-length trailer for The Batman – starring Robert Pattinson as the titular superhero – is finally here and it’s jam-packed full of crime-fighting action.

Shared at the DC FanDome event last night, the clip teases Pattinson’s debut as the brooding Batman, a reclusive billionaire by day and Gotham City’s vigilante detective, beating up street thugs, evading bullets and running villains off the road with his Batmobile.

“Fear is a tool. When that light hits the sky, it’s not just a call, it’s a warning,” the Tenet star is heard saying as the familiar bat signal is projected into the night.

We also get a sneak-peek at Little Miss Sunshine’s Paul Dano as The Riddler, who is seen surrendering to police in a diner before the camera pans to a coffee with a big question mark left in its foam, as well as Colin Farrell’s Penguin, whose appearance set the internet alight when fans spotted him in the teaser trailer last year.
