The Batman Concept Art Shows New Look at Bruce Wayne’s Drifter Disguise
A recently released piece of concept art has given fans a new, different look at Robert Pattinson’s “drifter” disguise from The Batman. With its recent digital release, The Batman is reaching a massive home audience, with over 720,000 US households streaming the film on its first day of release on HBO Max. This is on top of the movie already pulling in a massive $752 million at the worldwide box office, making it the highest-grossing film of the year so far.
Decidedly different in its approach to how he chose to portray the iconic DC character, director Matt Reeves provided audiences with a unique take on Bruce Wayne. In a departure from the billionaire playboy audiences are more familiar with, Reeves envisioned Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne as a reclusive loner obsessed with his vigilante crime-fighting experiment. Reeves even went so far as to suggest that he used late Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain, as a major source of inspiration for his unique take on the character.

Bruce Wayne’s isolation was certainly not the only point of departure from his fellow cinematic counterparts. In The Batman, he is often depicted out of his Batman costume and is instead disguised as a drifter to allow him to engage in covert surveillance of Gotham City’s crime-filled streets. Recently concept artist Adam Brockbank took to Instagram to share a new piece of concept art giving fans a better look at this disguise, as was envisioned by the film’s costume designer Jacqueline Duran. The image shows Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne leaning up against his motorcycle in Gotham’s rain-drenched streets. Check out the artwork below:
