Following a much more detailed look at Paul Dano’sZodiac-inspired version of The Riddler fromThe Batmanseveral more images have now emerged from director Matt Reeves' upcoming comic book caper, including a vibrant poster depicting Robert Pattinson’s Dark Knight and his muscle car Batmobile. A much more colourful promo than Batman fans are used to, the artwork casts the Gotham City skyline in a blood red, while Pattinsons Caped Crusader hovers above it looking typically tortured.
Alongside the bright-colored poster are two more images ofThe Batman, both of which are more typically haunting, and show-off Pattinson’sBatsuit, the design of which the actor was heavily involved in. “Rob [Pattinson] had a very important part in designing the suit in that he had to be able to wear it, he had to be able to fight in it,” Matt Reeves previously revealed. “One of the things about this Batsuit is that it is very practical. The whole idea is that he’s made it himself. And so, we needed to be able to see how it would fit on him and all the ways he could move but also make it look like something that was still evolving.”
Reeves has also since revealed that crucial elements like the Batsuit andBatmobiletook a year to come together, changing and adapting as the director wrote the script. “I mean, Glyn [Dillon] came on quite early and we worked in the designing of it, again, as I was writing and the idea of him being able to fight in it,” Reeves explained. “So they started illustrating and I’d say we spent easily a year to do the Batsuit and then to get into the Batmobile, and that, of course, that part’s a dream. The idea of getting to do your own version of the Batmobile, you’re just kind of like, ‘Uh, what?’ That’s the incredible candy, right?”
