A camera test posted on Twitter by director Matt Reeves gives a first look at Robert Pattinson's Dark Knight from the upcoming The Batman.
Set to the ominous score by composer Michael Giacchino, the video shows Pattinson in a dimly lit room dressed in his new Batman suit. The camera focuses in on a shot of his armor with the new Bat-insignia, followed by a slow pan upwards to reveal the Bat-cowl.
