Who isn’t a fan of a good old-fashioned ARG? With The Batman approaching, theaters have received new promotional materials for the upcoming superhero movie, and eagle-eyed fans discovered a little easter egg trail leading to a game created by The Riddler.
New cardboard standees for the upcoming Batman movie can be found across theaters. At the bottom of these standees is a mysterious code that fans have been able to decipher as “You are el rata alada” or “You are the winged rat,” which, rude.
But this message was only the first step as “You are el” can be read as 'URL' which led fans to the website “www.rataalada.com.” This is where the next bit of fun begins.
This site was previously just a looping video of static and a question mark, but earlier this week the website was changed to accept inputs from visitors. Now, the site asks visitors three questions and answering them correctly will reveal a series of Gotham City Police Department sketches for the Batman.
The Riddler also teases that he’ll return, meaning this website could undergo some more changes between now and when The Batman finally premiers.
The Batman will finally hit theaters on March 4, 2022. The team behind the upcoming reboot has been sharing more details about the project, including how Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne is inspired by Kurt Cobain, and that the film will also serve as an origin story for Catwoman played by Zoe Kravitz.
WB is all-in on director Matt Reeves’ vision for The Batman and will expand the universe with an HBO Max series starring Colin Farrell’s Penguin as well as a spinoff focused on Gotham PD.
