Robert Pattinson is opening up about the way his agents reacted after he decided to accept the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in the upcoming movie The Batman.

Zack Sharf Robert Pattinson revealed in a recent interview with Total Film magazine that even his agent was shocked by the news that Pattinson would be taking over the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’ comic book tentpole “The Batman.” Pattinson pursued the role despite his career staying away from major Hollywood franchises in the years after he wrapped up his role as Edward Cullen in “The Twilight Saga.”“I was aiming for quite different stuff,” Pattinson said about pursuing the role. “Obviously it’s basically the jewel in the crown of the parts you can really get as an actor.

A new clip from The Batman has just debuted online!

When it was announced that Robert Pattinson was chosen to play Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, in Matt Reeves’ upcoming superhero film, “The Batman,” most people were confused. People who only knew Pattinson from “Twilight” couldn’t imagine the sparkly vampire kid in the role.

While many filmmakers would jump at the opportunity to direct a Batman film, Matt Reeves took some convincing.

Panic at the Batcave? When the first trailer for Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” dropped in August 2020, DC fans went wild over Robert Pattinson’s black eyeliner, which they dubbed deliciously “emo.” Now, more than a year on, the director has finally addressed the caped crusader’s makeup in an interview with Esquire. “You can’t wear a cowl and not wear that,” the 55-year-old “Cloverfield” director argued of Batman’s “Spiderman 3”-esque countenance.

The debut trailer for The Batman featured something many fans were not expecting: Robert Pattinson‘s caped crusader wearing quite a bit of eyeliner that had run down his face.

The Batman was inspired by Kurt Cobain, directly pointing to the late Nirvana frontman’s struggles with drug addiction.In a new interview with Esquire, Reeves – who wrote, directed and produced the forthcoming superhero film – explained that he was first drawn to Nirvana in the early stages of the film’s development, citing ‘Nevermind’ cut ‘Something In The Way’ (which appears in the first trailer for The Batman) as a particular source of inspiration.He said the track’s thematic basis was “part of the voice of [Batman’s] character”, musing: “When I considered, ‘How do you do Bruce Wayne in a way that hasn’t been seen before?’ I started thinking, ‘What if some tragedy happened [ie: Wayne sees his parents murdered] and this guy becomes so reclusive, we don’t know what he’s doing? Is this guy some kind of wayward, reckless, drug addict?’“And the truth is that he is a kind of drug addict. His drug is his addiction to this drive for revenge.

“The Batman” has a little Kurt Cobain to it.

Zack Sharf When the first trailer for Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” debuted in August 2020, it left comic book fans buzzing over the look of Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne. The character takes off his Batman mask to reveal he’s sporting some serious emo-eyeliner.

Filmmaker Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. are obviously going for it with their new iteration of the caped crusader, called, simply, “The Batman.” For one, it’s going to be nearly three hours long, that’s confirmed and bold as hell, it’s not at all connected to the current cinematic DC Universe, and The Batman is a younger version played by Robert Pattinson.

Zack Sharf Kristen Stewart revealed to The New Yorker last year that her “Twilight” audition kiss with Robert Pattinson was the pivotal moment when she became convinced the actor had to be cast as Edward Cullen in the vampire romance films. “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke guested on “The Big Hit Show” podcast (via Insider) this month and looked back at the audition that launched a zeitgeist-defining film franchise.“Rob and Kristen did the audition right here on the bed.

As the promotional campaign for the highly anticipated “The Batman” has officially kicked off, we’re learning more about the next incarnation of the DC Comics franchise led by Robert Pattinson (“Good Time”). First off, now we know it’s nearly three hours long, a hugely bold choice, and it seems director Matt Reeves (“Cloverfield,” “Dawn of The Planet of The Apes”) grim and gritty crime thriller angle is being taken to the extreme in this new incarnation of the caped crusader.
