This statement by Gyllenhaal mirrors Christian Bale’s thoughts on Pattinson taking on the role of the Caped Crusader in the Matt Reeves-directed The Batman. At the Toronto International Film Festival, Bale said Pattinson is a “good choice, he’s interesting. I’m sure he’ll come up with something interesting.”
