A new behind-the-scenes TheBatman video shows Robert Pattinson's first costume camera test as the Caped Crusader alongside Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman.
A new The Batman behind-the-scenes video has been released of Robert Pattinson's extended costume camera test. The Dark Knight has returned to the big screen after Ben Affleck's iteration in the DCEU. What was initially going to be Affleck's solo film instead got retooled into a reboot in The Batman, with Matt Reeves directing. Rather than taking place in the DCEU, The Batman served as the beginning of a new standalone franchise with Pattinson as a younger iteration of Bruce Wayne.
In contrast to the traditional Batman origin story, The Batman focused on Bruce's second year as a crime fighter in Gotham. Though he wasn't completely inexperienced, this Bruce Wayne/Batman has a long journey to becoming the"world's greatest detective" from his original comic book mythology. The Batman followed Bruce going up against the serial killer Edward Nashton, a.k.a. The Riddler , who was reimagined as a Zodiac Killer-like murderer.
It will certainly be interesting to see how Bruce develops his look in future installments of The Batman franchise, given that this particular Batsuit felt like it was still a work in progress. Since the plot was set during Bruce's second year as Batman, audiences presumably saw only an early iteration of a suit that will evolve across The Batman 2 and other potential future films.
The Batman was not only a critical success, but the reboot also performed well at the global box office, grossing $752.6 million. Among other elements of the film, Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz's respective Batman and Catwoman costumes were praised by many as embodying the darker, gritty take on this Caped Crusader story, and this video shows just how much work and planning went into creating their unique looks.
