The Batman Costume Designer Reveals 20+ Alternate Scrapped Bat Symbols
The Batman’s costume designer Glyn Dillion reveals more than 20 alternate versions of the bat symbol for Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader. Following Ben Affleck's departure from the Batman solo project and Pattinson’s subsequent casting, Matt Reeves’ blockbuster was released in theaters on March 4. Bridging the gap between old, new, panel, and page, The Batman has proven itself a worthy and fresh addition to its respective franchise.
Inspired by comics like Batman: Year One and The Long Halloween, the rebooted title focuses on a younger Bruce Wayne in his second year as Batman is still figuring out what it means to be a symbol in Gotham City. After serial killer Riddler (Paul Dano) begins targeting Gotham’s elites, Batman is forced to investigate the corruption of his city, aided by Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) and James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright). Now that the film has been out for well over a month, fans are getting a look behind-the-scenes of the epic via books and interviews with its creatives, who put a lot of effort into the design of Gotham, its villains, and, of course, its hero.
