The significant difference than the other Batman Films would be the change of Batman’s suit. DC Comics made a change in Batman’s case, which quite resembles Spiderman costume. The plot leak might now be 100% sure but it does include spoilers. So let’s dive into it!
So the film starts with notes to Batman in every death case. The first note starts with No more lies then the commissioner hands over the message to Batman.

Penguin also has high-class connections which he might kill when needed. One day, he broke one of his statue’s in Batman’s film series and framed Batman for it.
