Even though director Matt Reeves gave us our first look at Robert Pattinson in the new Batsuit, the screen test left out a key detail: the ears on the Bat-cowl. While those pointy appendages may seem like small potatoes, they’re an important element that affects the whole look. Too short and they make him look like a cat, and too long and he’ll have trouble entering doorways. We’re too excited by the many possibilities to wait for the actual reveal to come, so we took it upon ourselves to see what Pattinson’s Dark Knight would look like with various ear styles based on how Batman has been drawn by iconic artists over the years.
Flip through the slideshow gallery below to see how Battinson would look with ears modeled after the styles of Frank Miller, Jim Lee, and more. All designs are by IGN artist Amanda Flagg.
