A carefully crafted statue of Robert Pattinson in The Batman has revealed hidden details in his Batsuit. The Dark Knight made his return to the screens thanks to the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max. However, Affleck’s Batman won’t be the one to take the character into the future of the DCEU.
Pattinson was cast as Bruce Wayne in May 2019, and from the few looks out yet, including the trailer, he seems like a good choice. But his latest look doesn’t come as an image or a video, but rather as a sculptured statue in his likeness donning the Batsuit.
Made by Prime 1 Studio, the carving was inspired by Jim Lee’s promo art for last year’s DC FanDome, which showed Batman armored up and striking a pose atop a gargoyle. The statue debuted as a segment of Prime 1 Studio’s Next Level Showcase 2 event and can be seen around the 2:12:00 mark of the video.
The statue is truly a fantastic piece of art and has been crafted painstakingly with attention to every little detail. The more exciting elements of the new suit include the cowl, which seems to be made of leather and roughly stitched together, thus keeping in line with Reeves’s homemade aesthetic.
The Batman emblem can also be seen sculpted into the chest plate and appears to have been designed from a gun, hinting that Wayne himself built it out of the same weapon Joe Chill used to kill his parents. Furthermore, the new Batsuit is much more heavily armored than previous iterations and is very clearly captured in the statue.
Batman is also known to wield many weapons, and the sculpture shows him wearing dart throwers on his gauntlets. He also sports many other types of equipment on his utility belt and holds his iconic grappling hook gun in his right hand.
The suit’s design is undoubtedly a very important point of discussion for Batman fans as they try to decode the direction Reeves is taking for the upcoming film. Bound to be dark and moody-themed, Robert Pattinson’s The Batman is looking up to be one of 2022’s biggest hits.
