New photos have emerged from the set of ‘The Batman’ appear to give fans their first look at Robert Pattinson in character as Bruce Wayne. The British actor, 33, was cast as the DC superhero last year after Ben Affleck stepped down from the role. The first images from the movie, which is being filmed in London, show what appears to be Pattinson on a motorbike. Other snaps show police cars with the Gotham city logo and cast members dressed in police uniform.
Fans have gotten a small taste of the film’s own Gotham with these shots, and it seems they’ll also get a look at Colin Farrell’s version of the Penguin, as seen below.
Of course, Penguin will not be alone in this story. The villain is one of Gotham’s most notorious, and he will be joined on-screen by Catwoman, The Riddler, and more. So far, there is no word on other icons such as the Joker, but fans expect this film’s rogues gallery to be a tailored one. Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne will need a solid foundation, and villains like the Penguin will help the hero cement himself with fans moving forward.
I’m highly anticipating this one I can tell you. We’ll bring you more news and photos are they emerge.
