We finally have our first look at Robert Pattinson's Batman suit and it looks futuristic.
"The Batman" director Matt Reeves shared a camera test of the actor on Vimeo Thursday wearing the iconic cape and cowl.
Take a look:
The 55-second video doesn't show much, but we do get a small look at a new Bat logo, which looks sleek and futuristic.
It also features a "Batman" theme from composer Michael Giacchino ("Doctor Strange," "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story").
The video, showcasing red and black colors, is giving us serious "Batman: Beyond" vibes. The animated series followed a futuristic Batman, Terry McGinnis, whose suit was black and red. He was an apprentice, and later revealed to be a son, to the original Batman, Bruce Wayne.
Before you get your hopes up for a film centered around McGinnis, Warner Bros. confirmed Pattinson, will play a version of Wayne.
In a January press release, Warner Bros. announced Pattinson will be playing "Gotham City's vigilante detective, Batman, and billionaire Bruce Wayne."
Principal photography on next summer's movie began January 28. Reeves shared the announcement on Twitter by sharing a clapper with the film's logo.

Zoë Kravitz ("Mad Max: Fury Road") stars as Catwoman/Selina Kyle, Jeffrey Wright ("Westworld") plays James Gordon, and Colin Farrell will play Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin. Peter Sarsgaard was cast as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson. (That could be an undercover/fake name for Harvey Dent/Two-Face.)
Kravitz recently told Variety she received more texts and calls after landing the role of Catwoman than she did on her birthday or wedding day.
"The Batman" will be in theaters June 25, 2021.
