Can The Batman 2's Batsuit Top Pattinson's Perfect Costume?
Robert Pattinson’s suit in The Batman is perfect, which poses a problem for upcoming sequels of the film. The mark of a superhero is their suit. While these change from one adaptation to the next, memorable features remain the same. For someone like Batman, his cowl, emblem, and cape are a big part of his identity. In live-action superhero films, tweaks to suits are made for many reasons. It could be to showcase the growth of the character, the arrival of new enemies that either destroy the hero's original costume or force them to update it, or even the passage of time to highlight how far technology within that world has come.
The suit in The Batman is brilliant. Pattinson is a slim figure compared to previous iterations of the character. His Batsuit is bulky in design with its scrap-metal build giving Pattinson the volume and grit to convincingly tower over criminals. The cowl keeps the signature long pointed bat ears, which is something that Ben Affleck’s version tones down in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. With this, The Batman proves there can still be a little bit of intimidation in that cartoony aspect of the hero's design. Pattinson's cape is perfectly shaped for the signature batwing glide, wrapping around his neck to emphasize the broadness of his shoulder.

Being made out of scrap metal, his suit’s practicality comes well into play as does its sketchy design. The metal is bulletproof giving him the protection he needs.
