Robert Pattinson IS The Batman

[Invader Joker]

Are these super recent?

If so, we got our Bruce Wayne haircut.

No. These are not recent. They typically film those ads months, if not years in advance. He filmed a set of those in early 2018 that have yet to be released, dunno if these more recent pictures and videos are part of those.

More Bruce Wayne Dior material-I mean, Robert Pattinson. Still no idea when he filmed this.

Man, if we see Battinson mount a chick against skyscraper glass pane, he's the GOAT Bats.

Okay, that's it I want Bruce nowhere NEAR Dior. Shudder...

On a positive note, as I posted in the costume thread, the new Ralph Lauren Purple Label collection has got some killer looks for a modern, yet timeless Bruce Wayne.

This was appareantly filmed in early 2018. So he'll probably endup with a Bale in TDK/TDKR physique indeed since it already looks similar and he's been training more lately.

Good effort! These would work well.

I hope we get the public mask here and not go the Keaton route where private and public Bruce are the same thing. Still want the Playboy persona. Don't want Wayne to seem odd out in public.

Yeah, I think that's important however I'd propose that perhaps there's a way of making the private persona bleed a bit into the playboy so it's not a /complete/ act or fabrication. That could even make the character even more layered and complex, especially based on Reeves answer that you can't reduce a person to only one part they express and based on the point of Batman Ego.

Keep the playboy part, don't make him as awkward as Keaton, but still have a bit of the real Bruce Wayne show itself onto the playboy.

I hope we actually get World's Greatest Detective.

Yeah, I care infinitely more about seeing this element make it to the big screen than whether or not we get Playboy Bruce.

 

[Wheels]

I honestly think we're getting the world's greatest detective though. That's what Reeves is selling us, so if he doesn't deliver that then why push that? That's coming I think. As a fan I just hate Burton's take on Wayne and hope we never see sweaty weirdo Bruce again. Just me.

I have faith that Reeves will deliver on his promises of a more detective type Batman. It's just that ultimately, I truly don't give a damn if Bruce is a playboy or not on film.

I get that Keaton's depiction of Bruce being an oddball publicly isn't comic accurate, it was actually a touch I personally enjoyed. Something was always clearly a bit 'odd' about him, but to me it was all in a way where you could buy that most folks wouldn't actually connect two and two that he was Batman.

Unless you're Vicky Vale and woke up in his bedroom late at night to find him sleeping across the room upside down like a bat. That was a bit too on the nose.

 

[Micromind]

Hard to tell from that clip if Battinson has any physique improvement.

We can at least get some idea about how long his hair will be in the movie.

 

[Schlosser85]

Was that video actually filmed just recently or is it being released now? Because that's not necessarily the same thing.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Definitely had a hair cut.

 

[Invader Joker]

It was filmed 2 years ago. The footage is not recent at all and gives us zero indication whatsoever as to what Bruce Wayne will look like.

 

[hellblazer103]

Let us not underestimate the sheer power this man possesses.

I’ve always wanted more detective skills to make it into the films.

 

[Invader Joker]

It's obvious we're getting World's Greatest Detective.

But it's a Batman movie, there's bound to be one or two Bruce Wayne scenes. And in those Bruce Wayne scenes I'd prefer him to be a playboy with some of his real life bleeding in a little bit.

That's kinda the whole thing about the character. He's Batman, the world's greatest detective and creature of the night, but during the day he's also playboy billionaire philantropist Bruce Wayne.

Nope, as Invader Joker said, don't rely on those Dior ads as an indication of Bruce's hair or physique. They were filled a long time ago.

I like the playboy part being fundamentally an intentional act to dissuade suspicions that Bruce is Batman. I think it adds to the character and his dedication to his obsession. It also gives the actor more to do. (Bale always seemed to enjoy that part of the role a lot.)

When it comes to the real Bruce bleeding into the public persona, I prefer that happen as Bruce gets older. I don't think it makes sense with a young Bruce who is solely dedicated to his crusade. I think it makes sense for more of the real Bruce to bleed into the public persona as he gets older and realizes that he can help Gotham in a lot of other ways than Batman. I like the way it is portrayed in Dark Victory with Bruce deciding to take Dick in as the first step of Bruce moving away from absolute obsession and towards more balance. Taking in an orphan out of pure charity doesn't really fit with Bruce's typical airhead playboy billionaire act. Similarly, I like how Haunted Knight portrayed Bruce's philantrophy as another development of maturity and realization that he can can do lots of good as Bruce as well as Batman.

However, I think these are all elements that are best if they come later in Bruce's arc. They better fit a mature Bruce who is starting to find balance in his life rather than a young, obsessed Bruce at the start of his war on crime. I think it is best if they start with Bruce seeing Batman as his true self and only slowly realizing that Bruce Wayne is more than just a mask and has some value. Given that Ego is allegedly a big influence on this film, I suspect they will take a similar tack.

What I kinda mean is make it so that the Bruce Wayne playboy is not 100% an act, there's a part of him that kinda enjoys it or maybe he uses it a little bit as some sort of weird coping mechanism of avoiding any meaningful personal relationships or maybe as a way to bicuriously experience the type of 100% hedonistic lifestyle he knows he doesn't really have.



Like, there's something deeper about it than it merely just being a pre-planned cold persona. It's hard to explain but that way I think it makes it a little bit more complex, while still keeping in line with the same aspects of it and gives him room to grow and develop.

It also would give Pattinson the chance to add more nuances into that part of the character instead of it just being the caricature we typically imagine it to be like the one Bale played (which really liked but I think there's a chance to do something more layered here)
