Warner Bros. surprises fans with new trailer for 'The Batman'

WATCH: A first look at Robert Pattinson as Batman

Warner Bros. dropped a surprise Christmas present for Batman fans: a brand-new trailer for "The Batman."

Titled "The Bat and The Cat," the two-and-a-half-minute trailer is less moody and atmospheric than the first two, focusing instead on the relationship between Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne/Batman and Zoë Kravitz's Selina Kyle/Catwoman.

After an initial meeting where kicks and punches fly, the pair appear to team up to do battle, with lots of action to show for it.

"The bat and the cat," says Selina. "It's got a nice ring."

There are also suggestions that The Batman's main villain, The Riddler, played by Paul Dano, may know of a Wayne family secret that even Bruce was unaware of, based on a glimpse of a scene between Pattinson and Andy Serkis, who plays Alfred.
