The trailer for this film due out in theatres in March broke the internet (not really) for a few minutes, giving audiences our first decent look at Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader.

The cast also includes Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle (Catwoman for you non-Bat speaking fans), Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and Colin Farrell as Penguin. There are two sequels planned at this time.
