New trailer for 'The Batman' shows a gritty Gotham featuring several familiar foes - CNN

Danny DeVito played Penguin in 1992's "Batman Returns" and Jim Carrey took on the Riddler in 1995's "Batman Forever," both giving the characters a sillier, campier angle than this latest trailer suggests.

Batman is one of the studio's most important and lucrative franchises.

The film series has brought in more than $5 billion at the global box office going back to 1989's "Batman," according to Comscore.

Pattinson will be the latest to join the ranks of other famous actors including Michael Keaton, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck who have worn the Batsuit.
