THE BATMAN Star Robert Pattinson Tried On Every Batsuit For Screen Test (But Only One Cowl Fit His Head)

The Batman star Robert Pattinson has reflected on his screen test, revealing that he ended up wearing every Batsuit, though only one cowl was big enough to squeeze his head into. Find more details here...

We've previously heard conflicting reports about which Batsuit Robert Pattinson donned for his The Batman screen test, with director Matt Reeves saying it was Val Kilmer's costume and the actor himself claiming it was George Clooney's. Well, it turns out he may have actually worn all of them! 

In the video below, Pattinson says he tried on every Batsuit (aside from Adam West's), but only Clooney's cowl fit his head. Because these costumes were made for different actors, he probably had to try on various pieces of the Batsuits in order to give studio bosses some idea of what he'd look like suited up as the World's Greatest Detective. 

It sounds like our new Dark Knight even got hands on with the infamous Bat-nipples, and it goes without saying that we hope this footage is one day released. We've previously seen Henry Cavill in Christopher Reeve's Superman costume and Christian Bale in Val Kilmer's Batman Forever Batsuit, so it's certainly not outside the realm of possibility! 

The Batman finds the Caped Crusader in his early years, struggling to balance rage with righteousness as he investigates a disturbing mystery that has terrorized Gotham City. Rumour has it critics are already attending screenings for the DC Comics adaptation, so we may get reactions soon.

Check out Pattinson's comments in the video below and stay tuned for more on The Batman ahead of its big screen release on March 4.

Batman Forever had a nice suit. With a few tweaks it could work nicely.

@Fogs - without the nipples and with a yellow belt it would've been great

@BlackBeltJones - dude, that suit wasn't real. It was a mass fever dream caused by the real scarecrow giving us fear toxin. No way would a rational human see that as a good design.

@BlackBeltJones - That is actually the worst thing to happen to Batman in recent years. I seriously fail to see how people even enjoyed this corny show lol.

Everyone always forgets Kilmer's suits had nipples as well yet always pick on Clooney's.

Never understood the nipples. It's "Batman". The idea of an anatomically correct suit for someone who is dressing as a giant bat in body armor is ridiculous. It's like they wanted us to imagine him as a naked muscular man only wearing boots, gloves, cape and cowl. I liked Keaton's suits. Even the first one with the muscles looked like an armor body plate. it didn't look like it was supposed to be his actual torso. The Snyder suits all had the stupid airbrushed muscles too.

Lol, Zoe doesn't really seem sure who Adam West is. She doesn't really react at first and then is like "Tights?"

Although this is practical, it seems like a cool rite of passage for new Batman actors to sort of connect with the past iterations.

Give me a Grey suite with a black cape any day.

Bens suit looked great, just a tad on the bulky side.

We’ll see how Pattinsons comes out on screen.

Tired of the all black suit to be honest

@MuadDib - Agreed. The old gray and black would be nice at this point. Or even a few scenes with the gray and blue. Also miss the yellow batsymbol and belt

Ol' Colin Farrel is having the time of his life, and Rob seems like a genuine Batman fan. It's great to see tbh - adds to my excitement for this film.
