Robert Pattinson Explains How His Batman is Different Than Past Versions
My Batman hot take: George Clooney was the best Batman. I will also accept Christian Bale, but Ben Affleck was not even CLOSE! Now, with the new Batman movie coming out this year, Robert Pattinson is sharing how his version of Batman is different than the other versions.
He told MovieMaker Magazine, “I had no idea that Matt [Reeves] had seen ‘Good Times’ and thought, ‘I want to do a really dirty, dirty, slimy Batman.'”
Director Matt Reeves also talked about the immediate connection with Pattinson. According to MovieMaker Magazine, he said, “It was a kind of almost fated thing. Of course, at that point, we were still working on the script. And so there was nothing to share. But I met with him probably about eight months later, and I shared the script, and we just really connected.”
After that, Matt Reeves says he wrote Batman in the script with Robert Pattinson in mind because he knew Pattinson “would be able to go on that search with me for the depth and complexity of this character. I mean, I knew he wasn’t going to play him straight ahead.”
“The Batman” hits theaters on March 4 and will be on HBO Max on April 19. Alongside Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz stars as Selina Kyle/Catwoman.
