Your eyes do not deceive you – one minor costume detail in The Batman 2 is different to the first movie.
Matt Reeves recently shared the news that the film would be delayed again until 2028, along with some footage of the DC film. In it, Robert Pattinson’s Batman can be seen suited up.
On Twitter, one fan noticed that Batman’s ears look longer, and Reeves himself confirmed they were right: “You are not crazy.”
Of course, this change doesn’t seem to mean anything on the surface, and it certainly doesn’t give us any hints about what the sequel might be covering. But, it is a fun difference that makes the costume look even more striking.
The first look at the film shared by Reeves confirms a snowy Gotham setting for the movie, though it doesn’t give away anything else.
Along with Pattinson, the rest of the cast includes Andy Serkis returning as Alfred, Colin Farrell returning as the Penguin, and Jeffrey Wright returning as Jim Gordon, while newcomers include Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, and Charles Dance.
“I just think Matt Reeves is brilliant and he wrote, not only tonally, a really kind of dark and at times terrifying piece, and not only psychologically weighty and nuanced, but really feeling. It’s a really… There’s moments in it. It’s full of feeling,” Farrell has said of the sequel. “I just think he wrote kind of a contemporary genre masterpiece, really. I’m only in two scenes, which is great because it means I can enjoy the rest of the film. Honestly, man, it’s so good. I’m so excited about it.”
The Batman 2 arrives on February 18, 2028. While you wait, check out our guide to all the upcoming DC movies and shows for everything else that’s in store.
