Gotham City’s superhero has been spotted sporting a brand new wingsuit in a new The Batman TV spot which was released on Russian TV yesterday.

In a blink and you’ll miss it scene, Culture Crave spotted the new suit which was debuted in a ten second Russian trailer that was published by The Batman Film News for the new Warner Bros. Pictures movie.

A user has commented explaining that the new suit seems to have a wing suit trigger. “He’s pulling a wire causing his cape to surround him and turn into a wing suit. In one frame you can see that the inward side of the cape actually has the buckle-like things that attach to eachother. it’s honestly pretty creative lol,” they posted.

The Batman is set for release on March 4, 2022 and stars Robert Pattison as Batman and Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle, otherwise known as Catwoman.

Last month, during a chat with Total Film magazine, Pattison revealed that even his agents were surprised when he was cast as Batman.

“I was aiming for quite different stuff,” Pattinson said about why he chose the role. “Obviously it’s basically the jewel in the crown, of the parts you can really get as an actor. But I’d never really thought I was anywhere close to doing it, and especially with the other parts I was attracted to at the time.”

Because of this, Pattison said his agents were surprised that he’d want to play a superhero character.

“I just kept obsessively checking up on it for the next year or so,” he revealed added. “Even my agents were like, ‘Oh, interesting. I thought you only wanted to play total freaks?’ And I was like, ‘He is a freak!’”

Elsewhere in the interview, Pattinson discussed what drew him to the role of Batman/Bruce over other comic books characters. “I’ve seen every single one of the (Batman) movies in the cinema, which I can’t really say I’ve done for any other series,” he said.

“I was always really looking forward to them coming out. There was the combination of just being so attracted to it, but also feeling like it’d had a lot of movies made about it, and none of them are bad movies.
