Robert Pattinson on the puzzle of becoming a unique Batman

May 14, 2020 by Samuel Brace

Robert Pattinson has discussed how he is excited by the challenge of doing something a little different in The Batman.

With all the Batman films that have come in the past, it could seem like there are few ways that a new character could make the role different and new. This is a challenge, however, that attracted Robert Pattinson to the role in The Batman.

Speaking to GQ, Pattinson discussed how he has been preparing for the role and despite some initial concerns, the challenge is what enticed him: “I was thinking, it’s fun when more and more ground has been covered. Like, where is the gap? You’ve seen this sort of lighter version, you’ve seen a kind of jaded version, a kind of more animalistic version. And the puzzle of it becomes quite satisfying, to think: Where’s my opening? And also, do I have anything inside me which would work if I could do it? And then also, it’s a legacy part, right? I like that.”

It’s going to be very interesting to see what Pattinson and Reeves do with the character. Hopefully, they will manage to bring something fresh to the table that still feels true to who Batman is.

The Batman sees Robert Pattinson (The Lighthouse) donning the cape and cowl as Bruce Wayne/Batman alongside Zoe Kravitz (Big Little Lies) as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Colin Farrell (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin, Paul Dano (Escape at Dannemora) as Edward Nashton/The Riddler, Jeffrey Wright (Westworld) as Jim Gordon, Andy Serkis (War for the Planet of the Apes) as Alfred Pennyworth, John Turturro (The Big Lebowski) as Carmine Falcone, Alex Ferns (Chernobyl) as Commissioner Pete Savage, Con O’Neill (Ordinary Lies) as Chief Mackenzie Bock, Peter Sarsgaard (The Killing) as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson and Jayme Lawson (Farewell Amor) as Bella Real.
