He’s the world’s most dangerous predator. Everything about him invites you in. His voice. His face. Even his smell. https://t.co/kxEhchfOo7

The cowl is interesting. Has a bit of a Daredevil home-made look to it. #TheBatman pic.twitter.com/YatS0k07h3
Probably reaching but Pattinson’s Batman right now is giving me some Neal Adams vibes #TheBatman pic.twitter.com/c38QynXuXI

the fact that robert pattinson’s batman suit looks a little like the daredevil suit and ben affleck was the last batman but affleck also played daredevil in 2003 pic.twitter.com/p9MDz6Ru3w

What I love about the clip Matt Reeves shared revealing Robert Pattinson in the Batsuit and Michael Giacchino’s score is how much it feels like a detective noir film. This will def be one of the most unique takes on Batman we’ve seen. #TheBatman

I love his chin. I love his bat symbol / possible weapon (it seems like a multifaceted batarang on his chest?). I love the vibe. I love the stitching. I love Robert Pattinson. I LOVE #BATMAN. pic.twitter.com/XwJnpLzfGq

Robert Pattinson’s suit definitely reminds me of Arkham and now I’m even more excited!!! I’m so fucking happy The Batman is coming together. Don’t get me wrong, Affleck will always be in my heart. He deserved that solo😭 pic.twitter.com/CIsMjKAHYU

Robert Pattinson literally managed to make his jaw not look like his jaw when in the cowl. That’s impressive how nearly he’s going to viably make Batman unrecognisable as Bruce Wayne. #TheBatman
