Director Matt Reeves debuted the first teaser trailer for the next Batman film on Saturday during Warner Bros.' DC FanDome virtual event. In addition to introducing new interpretations of iconic Bat villains Selina Kyle/Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz) and the Riddler (Paul Dano), Farrell's version of Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin made a few quick appearances in the new footage.

He can be seen standing angrily, as part of a gun fight, and then is chased by the Batmobile.

According to Reeves, we'll see early versions of these villains in "The Batman." Cobblepot doesn't even go by the name Penguin yet, and doesn't care for the nickname much.

Reeves confirmed Farrell's role in the film in January. He stars in the film along with Robert Pattinson, Jeffrey Wright, and Andy Serkis.

"The Batman" is currently set to be released in October 2021. Filming is expected to resume on the movie this fall.
