A talented Batman: Arkham fan has created a mod that completely reworks the Robert Pattinson suit from The Batman, finally giving the outfit the love it deserves.

The Batman: Arkham games coming to the Switch should have been a surefire win for fans of the series, but it ended up being anything but, mostly thanks to how Arkham: Knight was handled. Not only was the final game in the Batman: Arkham series reportedly "unplayable" on Switch, but the unique Robert Pattinson Batman suit that released alongside it was dragged by fans for its low-quality look.

Although the Robert Pattinson suit that was added to Batman: Arkham Knight was just a free bonus to celebrate the trilogy hitting the Switch, that didn't stop fans from pointing out that the textures were off and that Bruce Wayne doesn't look anything like Robert Pattinson when wearing the suit.

That might not seem like a big deal, but it's worth noting that the Batman Begins suit does actually make Bruce look like Christian Bale, with the same facial structure.

That's where Nexus modder SiRME comes in with their "The Batman 2022 Suit" mod. As showcased by Twitter user VoyagersRevenge (who used the suit in a recreation of The Batman made in Arkham: Knight), the mod is a much more accurate representation of how Robert Pattinson's suit looked in the movie, and is a far sight much better than what we officially received.

The list of changes are pretty extensive, but some of the highlights include all of the textures being updated to more closely match the film (a big deal considering how muddy the official suit looked), the body proportions being changed to look more like Robert Pattinson, and a brand-new cape design and cowl, collar, and chest-plate mesh. Oh, and it actually casts a shadow this time around.

As you can no doubt see from VoyagersRevenge's footage and the screenshots posted on Nexus, SiRME's mod is a much better version of The Batman suit and really does look like what we should have got from Rocksteady.

Funnily enough, this isn't the first time that a mod for The Batman suit has looked better than the official thing, as several Batman fans have pointed to another popular mod from a year ago that also looks a whole lot better than the official one, although SiRME's is the most notable one that's based on the official in-game suit.
