'The Batman' Director Just Revealed a First Look at Robert Pattinson's Batmobile
Holy Hot Wheels! We have our first look at the brand new Batmobile from the upcoming Worlds of DC movie The Batman.
The movie's director Matt Reeves unveiled three first-look photos shot from the set of The Batman on Twitter today (March 4), showing Robert Pattinson's Caped Crusader alongside a Batmobile that blends classic and modern touches.
Its retro flourishes — which bring to mind the Tim Burton Batmobile in its elevated dome — mark a change from the heavily-armored vehicles that Batman has driven in Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder's films.
These brand new images also offer a fuller view of Pattinson's sleek redesign of the Batsuit, albeit he is shot from a distance — presumably on a gloomy Gotham City night.
More exciting is that Reeves definitely did not skip out on the firepower even with his slimmer frame for his Batmobile.
The bumper of this version of the Batmobile is fully equipped with fire blasters to propel the vehicle to ultra-fast speeds while Batman is pursuing The Penguin (Colin Farrell), The Riddler (Paul Dano) and Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz) through the winding streets of Gotham City.
Last month, set photos also offered a sneak peek at the Batcycle, which appeared similarly streamlined in set photos showing Batman pursuing Catwoman through a cemetery.
In those set photos, The Glasgow Necropolis was doubling for Gotham City as filming continues in England and Scotland throughout the Spring.

Pattinson recently received the full endorsement of Justice League star Ben Affleck when the latter was discussing his departure from the role.
"I think Robert's a great actor, he's gonna be great," the Oscar winner said last week.
The Batman has a release date of June 25, 2021.
