The Batman world premiere

Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis and Colin Farrell premiered their highly anticipated film in New York City on Tuesday. Pattinson joked to THR on the carpet that if could describe his take on the caped crusader in three words it would be “crazy, sexy, cool.” Jason Momoa also made an appearance to support Kravitz, saying, “the whole family is proud.” Director Matt Reeves, though, was forced to miss the premiere after testing positive for COVID-19, but sent in a video message ahead of the Lincoln Center screening where he lamented his “great heartbreak” to miss the event, as “the movie means so much to me, it was a five-year journey for me and I’m very excited that we’re sharing it with you tonight.”
