I really, really enjoyed the process and it’s such a fun character to play.”Paul Dano, who plays The Riddler in the new film, added during the same interview, “There’s so much room for this Batman to grow, too,” while co-star Colin Farrell (who plays The Penguin) echoed that sentiment by saying, “I want to see the evolution of Bruce Wayne.”Pattinson said in December he had already “mapped out” the psychology of where his character might go in future films, but these new comments affirm he’s eager to continue his partnership with Reeves on future installments.“The Batman” has been teased as a “Year Two” story for the Caped Crusader, in reference to the iconic comic book “Batman: Year One.” This story picks up in Bruce’s second year of being Batman, where it’s not quite an origin story but he’s not quite an expert yet either.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterBruce Wayne could be the hero the box office desperately needs.Though movie theater attendance has significantly improved compared to earlier pandemic days, overall ticket sales have been slow to get box office receipts back to pre-COVID levels. “The Batman,” a decidedly grim superhero action-adventure, opens in domestic theaters on Friday and presents the best shot since “Spider-Man: No Way Home” at getting people back to the silver screen in a big way.The comic book film, starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, looks like it will be more than up for the task at hand.
Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticWhere do you go after “The Dark Knight”? Ben Affleck blew it, and even Christopher Nolan, who brought unprecedented levels of realism and gravitas to that franchise-best Batman saga, couldn’t improve on what he’d created in his 2012 sequel. So what is “Cloverfield” director Matt Reeves’ strategy? Answer: Go darker than “The Dark Knight,” deadlier than “No Time to Die” and longer than “Dune” with a serious-minded Batman stand-alone of his own.
Robert Pattinson isn’t morally opposed to superhero films. But he wasn’t exactly seeking them out before “The Batman” came along, either.The 35-year-old who seemed to emerge as a fully formed superstar in mega franchises like “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” has for the past decade or so found himself chasing edgier fare, smaller movies with interesting directors and roles where he could stretch and disappear behind an archaic New England accent, as in “The Lighthouse,” the unkempt beard of an explorer in “The Lost City of Z” or the shock of messily bleached hair that accompanies him on a never-ending chase in “Good Time,” to name a few.The strange thing is that it was “Good Time,” a $2 million movie, and its frenetic, freefall energy that convinced director Matt Reeves that Pattinson needed to be his Batman.
