I was aiming for quite different stuff,” Pattinson said about why he chose the role. “Obviously it’s basically the jewel in the crown, of the parts you can really get as an actor. But I’d never really thought I was anywhere close to doing it, and especially with the other parts I was attracted to at the time.” In a scene where Batman jumps off a roof to escape the Gotham Police, the Batsuit transforms into a wingsuit which adds fabric between the legs and the arms allowing Batman to glide through the air. To create the look, a Seattle-based wingsuit company was brought on to fabricate a wingsuit from Batsuit material. Then, with the help of special effects, they were able to create the realistic stunt on set where visual effects took over in post.

In addition, Pattinson uses a wing suit to glide off the tops of buildings. This is in contrast to the Christopher Nolan (and even Tim Burton) heroes that utlized their capes as a make shift gliding wing. Accepting the physics of all of these gliding methods, Bale and Keaton’s version would function like a hang glider. Pattinson’s, on the other hand functioned like any standard wingsuit. Therein lies the problem! While hang gliders can coast in for a safe landing, a wingsuit has to deploy their parachutes and float the rest of the way to the ground -- they simply can't reduce their speed fast enough for a safe landing without the use of a chute.Last month, during a chat with Total Film magazine, Pattison revealed that even his agents were surprised when he was cast as Batman.

Outside of The Batman writer/director Matt Reeves (who co-wrote the script with Peter Craig), Glyn Dillon and David Crossman probably have The Batman‘s coolest credits attached to their names. Both share the title of Batsuit costume designers, with Dillon serving as chief concept artist and Crossman the costume supervisor. In terms of superhero icons, it doesn’t get much better than designing the Caped Crusader, and the tandem created a unique silhouette for a younger Bruce Wayne, played by Robert Pattinson, with resonating realism. The gadgets that Batman utilizes are problematic at best. Reeves Dark Knight utilizes a grappling gun that ejects from his wrist guards. Based on this design that means the rope spools from somewhere in his costume which seems unfeasible given that the cord which would measure 50 to 100 feet or more would have to unspool at a hyper speed seering whatever it is touching which in this case would be Pattinson’s arm. When the bird tilts its wings, a centripetal force, a force pushing a body in a circular path, is generated. Due to the change in position of the wings, the lift force changes direction, acting in a perpendicular angle to the bird’s wings. The result of these force shifts is that the body move toward the sides.

They are also called ‘flying squirrel suits’. Yes, certain types of squirrels can glide between trees.
