Matt Reeves helmed The Batman starring Robert Pattinson in superhero avatar drove fans crazy. The teaser was unveiled by the production banner Warner Bros. just 2-3 days ago, which assured the audience the upcoming movie will be filled with power pack action and some hard-hitting dialogues to be delivered by Robert. But the fans went crazy for yet another element in this teaser and it is actor Colin Farrell going completely unrecognised, all thanks to the prosthetics artiste and makeup artiste.
Fans taking to social media platforms were seen going nuts over it. Colin who plays the role of an antagonist in the movie is made to look far different from his original look. Contrary to his thick eyebrows, he is seen with thin eyebrows, followed by his nose also being made to look different with the help of prosthetics. While some expressed being completely taken by surprise with his look, few just suggested that makers would have roped in actor Richard Kind.
One of the Twitter users wrote, “Wait.... this is a joke right? That's not Colin Farrell. Right?” Read more such tweets below-

I mean, great job by the Batman makeup crew on Colin Farrell and everything, but wouldn't have been easier to just hire Richard Kind? pic.twitter.com/Ppg3860ySt
