The Art of The Batman

Product Information

This Batsuit may not be a gleaming ideal, but it remains a core part of what makes Batman, Batman. A Closer Look at 2022’s Batsuit From the makeshift gear and holes in his cape to the foreboding darkness of Gotham, the above art is indicative of the vibe Reeves' has masterfully attached to The Batman, something overtly evident in promotional material alone. The image of Batman looming over his corrupt city is an iconic one. And The Batman is poised to sear a plethora of soon-to-be iconic images into the brains of audiences. The film's costume design, action sequences, and cinematography lend credence to the idea that The Batman will/could feel like a comic book panel come to life.

Much like 2022’s Batsuit, The Batman’s Batmobile directly reflects this Batman’s personality. A little DIY, a little grimy, a lot of parts that fit together into something that works, but not gracefully. The Batman’sDIY Batmobile Warner Bros. Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman (Robert Pattinson), striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies — Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) — amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens." One piece of artwork actually leans a little more heavily into the comic books with that classic shot of Batman using his cape to swoop through his home.

Also starring Jeffrey Wright (James Gordon), Andy Serkis (Alfred Pennyworth) and Zoë Kravitz (Selina Kyle/Catwoman), The Batman sees Pattinson's Bruce face off against the likes of Colin Farrell (as Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin) and Paul Dano (Edward Nashton/Riddler). Whereas other Batman iterations have been fully outfitted with the sleekest of Batsuits and the most evolved gadgets, The Batman’sBatsuit reflects that we are meeting a different kind of Bruce Wayne. Though 2022’s The Batmanis not an origin story, Bruce is still early into his crime-fighting career. And he really does not have it all together yet. 2022’s Batsuit Reveals Batman’s Inner State Warner Bros. The gadgets that Batman utilizes are problematic at best. Reeves Dark Knight utilizes a grappling gun that ejects from his wrist guards. Based on this design that means the rope spools from somewhere in his costume which seems unfeasible given that the cord which would measure 50 to 100 feet or more would have to unspool at a hyper speed seering whatever it is touching which in this case would be Pattinson’s arm. The Batmobile] has to make an appearance out of the shadows to intimidate, so I thought of it almost like Stephen King’s Christine. I liked the idea of the car itself as a horror figure, making an animalistic appearance to really scare the hell out of the people Batman’s pursuing. There is absolutely a horror-genre aspect to this movie. Warner Bros.

Reeves explains more about his version of the Batcave in his Esquire interview. He notes, “The idea [of the Batcave] being that some of these wealthy industrialist families had private train cars at the turn of the century. So the Batcave is actually in the foundation of this tower. It was [another] way of saying, ‘How can we root all these things in things that feel real, but also extraordinary?” Additionally, according to the publication, “The new Batcave is based on a secret underground railway that still exists in New York.” Over the years, Batman has taken many shapes. He’s starred in comics, leapt onto the silver screen, taken on camp, drama, and even appeared in musicals. But despite his ever-changing form, three iconic Batmanfixtures have emerged over time: Batman’s Batsuit, Batmobile, and Batcave. And so, when a new Batman emerges from the darkness, as Robert Pattinson’s has in 2022, the first questions we have to ask revolve around these three Batobjects. Warner Bros.Robert Pattinson also notes the following about his Batman, “He’s nowhere at home except on the street when he’s wearing the suit. He lives a criminal life, but without committing crimes! I felt like I could get something out of that. Anyway, I could only play a superhero if he was really dirty!
