Robert Pattinson is no longer the beloved vampire from the
Twilight series but the billionaire vigilante, Bruce Wayne, in the Matt Reeves-directed
The Batman.
A sneak preview of Pattinson armored in the full Batman getup was recently released by Reeves on Twitter. The footage acts as the first look of Pattinson as the DC superhero. It highlights Pattinson’s face in Batman’s iconic mask, exciting fans on the social media platform.
“Matt Reeves, I owe you my life. This is magnificent. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you,” one fan wrote.
The video was scored by Michael Giacchino and shot by cinematographer Greig Fraser, Reeves
told.
The role was previously filled by Ben Affleck in the 2016 film,
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now, Pattinson will take over the new portrayal as the masked hero in
The Batman, which is set for release in 2021.
