Robert Pattinson Finally Opens Up On His Process To Play 'The Batman'

It is indeed no secret that almost every big film has been pushed ahead already and one of the most-awaited ones 'The Batman' is no exception.

Production for the highly anticipated film is currently on pause due to the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in the release being pushed from summer 2021 to October 2021. 

In a series of interviews with GQ published Tuesday, the actor discussed multiple topics, highlighting his career and why he made the decision to go back into the big-budget studio spotlight with Christopher Nolan's Tenet and Matt Reeves' The Batman.

The Twilight star said he initially considered all the downsides of playing Batman, which he decided were actually upsides, he told the magazine. 

"I kind of like the fact that not only are there very, very, very well-done versions of the character which seem pretty definitive, but I was thinking that there are multiple definitive playings of the character," he said during interviews done via FaceTime due to quarantine. "I was watching the making of Batman & Robin the other day. And even then, George Clooney was saying that he was worried about the fact that it’s sort of been done, that a lot of the ground you should cover with the character has been already covered. And that’s in ’96, ’97?"

Pattinson will be the sixth actor to don the cowl on the big screen, Ben Affleck being the previous.

And the actor remains confident his "gap" had been found. 

"You’ve seen this sort of lighter version, you’ve seen a kind of jaded version, a kind of more animalistic version," he said. "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."
