It’s a big day in pop culture news, the bigness of which is only slightly lessened by the fact that this is something that has already happened a few times in the last couple decades, but either way it’s always exciting when we get our first look at a new Batman. It immediately became a meme when Zack Snyder released the first look at Ben Affleck’s sad Batman, and people in the early 2000s probably couldn’t stop offering their own opinions across terrestrial radio (or whatever they had back then) when the first images of Christian Bale’s Batman were released, and now—thanks to a “camera test” that The Batman director Matt Reeves has shared online—we now have our first look at Robert Pattinson’s Batman.
