BritishGQ believe Rob’s Persol sunglasses seen in the new trailer for The Batman (see above) are worthy of being put in the sunglasses hall of fame. I tend to agree:

Robert Pattinson has a lot of things we want. He’s got the riches (Forbes recently reported he is worth more than $100 million). He’s got a sneaker collection filled with ultrarare designs (in 2020 he revealed exclusively to us that he seeks out and buys all the Adidas x Palace Skateboards collaborative trainers he can find). The elfin thesp is also one of the most handsome actors in the game, with unrivalled scissor-sharp features. 

Now he’s just unveiled something else that we want to add to that list. In the recently aired trailer for Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman, in which Pattinson takes the reins from Christian Bale, Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton before him as the title character, the actor is seen in an array of big ’fits spanning several action-packed scenes from the movie. 

In one such scene, which is actually a “blink and you’ll miss it” moment, Pattinson is seen sitting in a café sporting a pair of the chicest black shades we’ve laid our eyes on in any recent film. In fact, we’d go as far as saying they’re some of the best sunglasses we’ve seen since a Ray-Ban-wearing Will Smith graced screens in 1997’s Men In Black or, indeed, Keanu Reeves made the case for minimalist metal sunglasses in The Matrix.

Ideal for masking bleary eyes or else simply adding a slick edge to any autumn ’fit, we naturally felt the need to do some digging and have found out that the sunnies in question are actually one of Persol’s recent drops. 

The razor-sharp rectangular shades come with metallic detailing on the arms and are cut from sturdy black acetate in Italy.
