Robert Pattinson suits up with a Batman Ninja-inspired suit in an awesome concept that sees him replacing Ben Affleck in the DC Extended Universe.
Robert Pattinson’s Batman look has not been officially revealed yet, but that hasn’t stopped artists from putting one together. This new concept shows Robert Pattinson’s Batman with a design inspired by the animated movie Batman Ninja, which despite the title, turned Batman into a samurai. As such, the appearance is not a 1:1 recreation of the look, but it retains elements of the design mixed in with a more typical tech-based Batman suit.

Ben Affleck portrayed the Dark Knight across three DCEU movies — Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League. Though he was expected to do more of them, Ben Affleck decided to depart from the role for personal reasons. Ben Affleck was also originally going to write, direct, and produce The Batman, but he ultimately stepped down due to not being completely satisfied with his story and wanting to shift his focus to smaller projects. As such, Robert Pattinson has taken Ben Affleck’s place in a new setting that does not specifically appear to be influenced by the character’s past, which was alluded to in those three DCEU movies.
We know that The Batman will center around a younger Bruce Wayne and feature a Rogues’ Gallery of villains that reportedly includes Catwoman and The Penguin. Director Matt Reeves has also confirmed that it will not be directly based on Frank Miller’s Year One comic and will make use of Batman’s detective skills to a greater extent than previous DC Comics movies. It is expected to be the first chapter in a new movie trilogy with Robert Pattinson as Batman.
Directed by Matt Reeves, The Batman is set to star Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, with Jeffrey Wright in negotiations to play Commisioner James “Jim” Gordon. Jonah Hill is also in discussions for what appears to be a supervillain role, but has not yet been confirmed to be a part of the cast.
The Batman will be released in theaters on June 25, 2021. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding Ben Affleck, Robert Pattinson and the future of the DC Extended Universe!
