Artists from around the world took inspiration from the first glimpse of this Gotham. Robert PattinsonOpens in a new tab‘s brooding Bat (and accompanying black eye makeup under the cowl, let’s be honest) immediately captured imaginations of talented artists. And we’re so glad it did.

Below are just a few of our favorite picks for new fan art celebrating the newest Bruce Wayne to stalk Gotham City’s violent streets. Each piece perfectly captures the dark, chaotic energy of the fledgling Batman. This is Batman when he’s still finding his footing as a crimefighter. He is vengeance!

And while the quick look we got at CatwomanOpens in a new tab was all too brief, this artist was also inspired to honor Zoë Kravitz’s take on the character with gorgeous art. We can’t wait to see this Selina Kyle in action.

We can’t leave out Commissioner Gordon!

Whether you want to call him goth, emo, or punk Batman, it’s clear that this Bruce Wayne is going to be a Dark Knight unlike any other we’ve seen before. Will his rogues galleryOpens in a new tab be just as striking? We’ll find out when The Batman hits theaters sometime in 2021.
