Robert Pattinson vs Christian Bale: Which Batman Had More Realistic Gear?
The Christian Bale and Robert Pattinson versions of Batman each put a stronger emphasis on realism than any other cinematic iteration of the Caped Crusader, particularly where their gear is concerned. Christopher Nolan’s celebrated Dark Knight Trilogy differentiated itself from previous Batman film franchises by imbuing Bale’s Bruce Wayne with an unprecedented level of verisimilitude, showing how he built his arsenal of gadgetry, piece by piece. Matt Reeves took a similar approach in The Batman and made the scale even smaller and more personal than Nolan’s films, with a comparable level of realism as well. The two franchises have fundamentally similar depictions of Batman, but, depending on the gear, one is more realistic than the other.
