The Batman: Is the Bat Symbol Really The Gun That Killed His Parents? - IGN Now

The Batman director Matt Reeves gave fans their first look at Robert Pattinson in the Batsuit via a moody screen test, but aside from comparisons to Marvel’s Daredevil, people are debating one detail: the chest symbol. If you look closely, it’s more than just a bat emblem like we’re used to seeing. The bat seems to be made of something metal embedded in his chest plate, but no one can seem to decide what it’s made from. We run down the possible theories on what it could be, from the gun that killed his parents (from Detective Comics #1000) to a pair of sick bat-throwing knives aka a new kind of Batarang.
