The Batman 2021 Test Footage!

Matt Reeves 2021 film The Batman has been getting  lots of attention after test footage was released of Robert Pattinson as the caped crusader. This footage was released in similar fashion as the Joker. As you may remember when the Joker was first announced many were weary about what they were going to get from the story but as from the performance by Joaquin Phoenix. Once the first test footage was released it helped ease the minds of the fans and also create more excitement leading up to the release of the film.

One of the more interesting aspects of the footage released was the music featured. The music is dark and eerie and makes me think of noir style films. It may seem like a bit of a leap but based off the music and comments the director has made I believe this batman film will be a much more crime focused film. Showing us the detective side of batman that we have only been able to see in the comics. As a fan of both the comics and the previous renditions of batman, I am excited to finally see a batman film were his crime solving talents are on full display.

There are a few other pieces of information that have been released that have given us a more in depth understanding of what kind of batman we are going to get. The first is that this film will take place within the first 2 years of Bruce Wayne as batman. we can infer then that this batman will be less experienced which is the opposite of the batman we got from Ben Affleck, who was a seasoned veteran having battled many of his notorious Gotham enemies already. Also it is said that his bat symbol is made out of the metal from the gun that had been used to murder his parents. This idea was taken right out of the comics. Although this is a small detail it is a nice touch to show they are taking their ideas right from the source material.

One of the aspects of the test footage that seems to be catching the eyes of the fans is the batsuit. Over the course of batman's long film history there have been many different styles and designs of the batsuit. Obviously the new footage hasn't shown us the full suit but from what they have let us see it looks like the suit is similar to the suit from the game Arkham Knight. This idea could change drastically once the full suit design is released but for now that is the closest comparison I can make. It seems as if The Batman is off to a hot start making batman fans worldwide excited and compelled to see this film.

Comment below your thoughts on the footage and if this makes you more excited to see the film!
