A Texas movie theater will be checking all bags after a moviegoer “tried to pull a prank” by releasing a live bat during a showing of The Batman. Over the weekend, a viral video shared on Twitter captured the moment an actual bat interrupted a screening of the new Batman movie starring Robert Pattinson as the Dark Knight. Now a spokesperson for Cinépolis, which owns the Moviehouse & Eatery movie theater in northwest Austin, Texas, is revealing more about what happened during the batty incident:

The Batman is an edgy, action-packed thriller that depicts Batman in his early years, struggling to balance rage with righteousness as he investigates a disturbing mystery that has terrorized Gotham. Robert Pattinson delivers a raw, intense portrayal of Batman as a disillusioned, desperate vigilante awakened by the realization that the anger consuming him makes him no better than the ruthless serial killer he’s hunting.
