The suit's a big departure from Christian Bale and Ben Affleck's style.
No doubt that Matt Reeves posted the camera test of Robert Pattinson in the Batman suit to guard against exactly this kind of thing happening.
Behind-the-scenes set photos from 'The Batman' have leaked online and show a much clearer example of how Robert Pattinson's Batman suit will look. Taking its cues from Lee Bermejo's design in the comic 'Batman: Noël', the video shows what appears to be a stunt-double driving a motorcycle through a graveyard.

As well as this, you've also got some still photos giving a bit more detail to the video Reeves posted just last week. All in all, it's clearly a departure from what Christian Bale, Ben Affleck and everyone else wore.
Take a look and see for yourself.

So, thoughts? The fact that it's during the middle of a rainy day, with none of the atmosphere around it, the fact that it's clearly a stunt double and as such isn't the full-blown suit means you can't really cast judgement on it.
The ears on the cowl definitely look a little odd, not to mention the gauntlets too. That there's no cape isn't any surprise - it's often CGI'd in afterwards. All in all, it's definitely different and that's a good thing. Compared to say, Spider-Man, the Batman suit can be significantly redesigned in each iteration and that allows for something unique.
This is definitely unique, and that's always a good thing. 'The Batman' arrives in Irish cinemas on June 25th, 2021.
