The Batman's Batarang Gets Incredibly Detailed Replica
The unique Batarang used in The Batman is now a highly detailed collectible. The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves, is the most recent cinematic outing featuring the Caped Crusader. Reeves assembled a stellar cast to bring the film to life, featuring Robert Pattinson as the titular hero, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Colin Farrell as Oz/The Penguin, Andy Serkis as Alfred, and Jeffrey Wright as Lt. James Gordon. The Batman embraces the character's history as the world's greatest detective, seeing Batman investigate The Riddler's killing spree, which exposes Gotham's hidden corruption.
The Batman also features a distinct Batarang placed into his chest armor as the iconic Bat-Symbol. Upon initial examination, it's clear that the Batarang is a gun that has been cut in half and fashioned into the emblem. Batman is seen using it at different points throughout the film, displaying that it can be removed from his chest to be utilized as a knife or thrown projectile. Theories around this particular Batarang suggest that it's the gun used to murder his parents, though that has been debunked.
