Ben Affleck returns as a darker, more tormented Batman, caught in a psychological and physical battle with Jason Voorhees, the undead slasher from the Friday the 13th franchise, portrayed by stunt actor Derek Mears. The trailer opens with eerie shots of a fog-covered Crystal Lake before cutting to Gotham’s outskirts, where brutal murders begin to mirror Jason’s signature style.
“This isn’t madness. This is evil,” Batman mutters in the trailer, his voice deeper and more haunted than ever.
The plot remains largely under wraps, but the teaser hints that Jason is resurrected by a cult obsessed with chaos — and somehow ends up unleashed in Gotham. As crime spirals into pure horror, Batman must step outside his code, confronting his darkest fears and a foe that cannot die.
The teaser features chilling scenes:
-
Batman’s cape soaked in blood under a crimson moon
-
Jason appearing silently behind Commissioner Gordon
-
A broken Bat-Signal flickering in the rain
-
And a jaw-dropping final shot of Batman and Jason colliding in an abandoned asylum
Fans were quick to react online, praising the teaser’s bold tone — blending superhero drama with supernatural slasher horror. The score by Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker) and the gritty cinematography give the film a The Batman meets The Conjuring vibe.
Directed by David F. Sandberg (Shazam, Lights Out), the film is expected to hit theaters in October 2025, just in time for Halloween.
Whether this becomes a cult classic or the most bizarre crossover in cinema history, one thing is certain — Batman vs Jason Voorhees promises a terrifying, adrenaline-pumping ride through fear, justice, and nightmares.
