This weekend, the first trailer for The Batman starring Robert Pattinson debuted during DC's FanDome stream.

The film — the first in a trilogy directed by Matt Reeves — is scheduled for release in October 2021.
We get a glimpse of Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman and Colin Farrell as the Penguin (yes, that's really him!), not to mention the Batmobile.
But all people seem to be talking about is RPatz. And, I can't blame them. He looks...different. Specifically, he looks like the scene kid who would sit behind you in English class, picking at his black nail polish and listening to emo music through headphones hidden underneath his long hair and hoodie.
And I'm not the only one who thinks so. Here are a bunch of hilarious tweets about Rob's look in The Batman trailer:
1.

Studio: What should we do for the new #Batman? 31 year old intern: How about Batman... but like Hot Topic Batman? Imagine a Fall Out Boy music video. Studio: ... fuck it, why not.

If you don't think that dressing in all black and dedicating your life to avenging the deaths of your parents and doing it all from a cave is emo then I have some news for you.

Listen I know this is about "The Batman" but I'd be lying if I said this wasn't closer to how I pictured Edward looking when my emo ass read "Twilight" for the first time in the 9th grade:
