Matt Reeves' The Batman features a radically different version of the Caped Crusader, and one element that sets him apart from The Dark Knight is the Batsuit. The Batman finally hit theaters after two years of waiting and Robert Pattinson didn't disappoint in his rendition of the Dark Knight. Robert Pattinson's new suit is both flashy and yet understated in all of the right ways, which works for the sense of gritty realism that Reeves brings to his own Batman franchise. In addition to a new Batsuit, the director took a different approach for his first Batman story. Rather than a traditional origin story, a «Year Two» style story was shown instead, in which Batman is still adjusting to his war on crime and figuring out what his true purpose is as a vigilante.
With Pattinson starring as the titular vigilante, audiences are offered an unorthodox approach to the character. Robert Pattinson's performance as Batman is just as «unhinged» as previous characters that he has played. Furthermore, director Matt Reeves cultivates a version of Gotham that is incredibly unique, mixing elements of both Tim Burton's version and Christopher Nolan's, neatly packaged in a psychological crime drama. This new take on Batman is only exemplified by the new Batsuit.
