Before you get too excited, dear reader: No, actor Robert Pattinson did not try on the Batman costume worn by Adam West in the popular 1966 TV series. He did, however, actually put on the very same Batman costumes once worm by Val Kilmer and George Clooney (in "Batman Forever" and "Batman & Robin" respectively) for his screen test. It seems that even in 2022, Warner Bros. was keeping suits built in 1995 and 1997 as a reference.
Matt Reeves' 2022 film "The Batman" was a very different animal from the Batman feature films that had come before. Eschewing comic book fun, and embracing a dour, depressing aesthetic cribbed directly from David Fincher's "Seven," "The Batman" was a terse and complicated crime movie about a serial killer, organized crime, and terrorism. Gone were the colorful, outsize villains, or a Bruce Wayne who seemed capable of having any fun while living his life as a millionaire playboy.
