TheBatman production designer James Chinlund explains how the movie's no-frills Batmobile reflects Robert Pattinson's single-minded Bruce Wayne.
The Batman production designer explains how the movie’s Batmobile reflects Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne. With the newest Caped Crusader film, Pattinson takes his place alongside Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck on the list of actors who’ve tackled the Dark Knight and his alter ego Wayne. And of course each man has unveiled his own unique take on the famed comic book character.
But while each new cinematic Batman has indeed tweaked the formula for depicting Wayne, certain aspects of the character have remained consistent across the years. Wayne for instance is always shown as a man living a double-life: frivolous playboy by day, vigilante defender of Gotham City by night. Wayne also is always deeply invested in technology, which he uses to aid him in his quest to rid Gotham of its criminal element.
The car reflects his single-minded focus on the mission. He’s all about getting it done, he's not about a big design statement. It's sort of a lean and mean version of the Batman. There's no wasted space, there's no decoration. There are no flourishes. He’s one man against the evils of the city. The car reflects this individual who's going up against the world.
Of course The Batmobile is not the only aspect of The Batman that reflects this new down-and-dirty take on Bruce Wayne. It’s also there in Batman’s Batsuit, which looks like something he stitched together himself from various bits and pieces.
It’s of course always bound to be controversial any time filmmakers put new twists on familiar characters as Reeves and Pattinson have done with their take on Batman. But this time the risk seems to have paid off as the film is currently soaring at the box office with over $500 million in worldwide grosses. The design choices made by Chinlund, Reeves and company on The Batman indeed appear to have been good ones, as were the character choices made by the writers and by Pattinson himself.
