When you see Christian Bale onscreen this summer in very anticipated The Dark Knight, he’ll be outfitted head-to-toe in Giorgio Armani.

The Italian designer and industry-acclaimed costume designer Lindy Hemming came together to have Giorgio Armani Hand Made-To-Measure suits appear on Bale’s Bruce Wayne throughout the film. Says the perpetually-tanned Armani to FWD, “As a Giorgio Armani Hand Made-to-Measure client, Bruce Wayne is demonstrating his status as a discriminating and sophisticated connoisseur of fine fashion, while also showing he has individual taste,” said Armani. “It is also fitting that I should be dressing a superhero this year, as I am pleased to have chaired the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition, Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy, last May.”

A brand ad campaign featuring Bale in one of the suits will launch at the same time as The Dark Knight promotions. The Giorgio Armani for Bruce Wayne collection includes black wool coats, single-breasted suits, three-button suits and tuxedos.

Hemming adds, “For the character Bruce Wayne, Chris Nolan and I wanted an expensively elegant tailored look to contrast with his Batman persona. We felt that the Giorgio Armani brand was emblematic of the contemporary classic look that I hoped to create. I think Christian looks edgy and cool, and I feel that their tailoring beautifully realized our vision.”

Now we have three good reasons to see this flick: The late Heath Ledger as the Joker, Christian Bale in tight superhero outfits and bespoke Giorgio Armani.
