New Batman Movie Trailer Teases Unexpected DC Villains,
MCU Star & More Join Cast
-------------------------------------------------------
DC and Warner Bros. Animation have released a trailer and new
details for a new Batman movie. The announcements came at the
2026 edition of the Annecy International Animation Film
Festival.

What do we see in the new Batman movie trailer?
The first trailer for Batman: Knightfall has been released.
Knightfall is a new three-part movie event that tells the
story of the 1993 Knightfall arc from the comics. The story
follows Bruce Wayne getting his back broken by Bane and then
Azrael stepping in as the new Batman.

If that sounds familiar, it's because elements of the storyline
were adapted in Christopher Nolan's 2012 film The Dark Knight
Rises. IGN has also revealed that MCU star Michael Mando will
be voicing Bane in the film, while Black Bolt actor Anson Mount
will voice Batman. Halo actor Pablo Schreiber will be voicing
Jean-Paul Valley/Azrael.

The Knightfall storyline consists of three storylines,
consecutively titled Knightfall, Knightquest, and KnightsEnd.
The series was written by Chuck Dixon, Jo Duffy, Alan Grant,
Dennis O'Neil, and Doug Moench.

Batman: Knightfall Part 1 is directed by Jeff Wamester and
written by Jeremy Adams. Rick Morales will serve as Supervising
Producer, with Jim Krieg and Kimberly S. Moreau producing the
film. Sam Register and Michael Uslan serve as executive
producers. The animated film will be rated R.

Batman: Knightfall Part 1 currently doesn't have a release date,
but it is expected to come out by the end of 2026.
