Thatās exactly what makes his casting as Bruce Wayne in Matt Reevesā The Batman so exciting.
Pattinson has been taking about his preparation to play the icon, revealing that he watched the work of the ātrue warriors of the superhero genreā in order to get into the right mindset for the DC character.
This clearly included watching various installments from DC rivals Marvel, as Pattinson specifically named Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and Robert Downey Jr as inspirations.
Pattinson made this admission during a recent conversation with For Men Healthy, via Screen Rant, explaining, "In every project I've ever taken on, I've come into it wanting to learn and achieve new things.ā
āThat's usually in the embodiment of a character, and someone who has a different personality to me; but taking on a full physical transformation as well feels even more exciting. Any actor will go through periods where they'll hesitate and question whether they can live up to a character in a script, or the expectations that go with itā¦ā
āYou look at the true warriors of the superhero genre -- Hemsworth, The Rock, Downey Jr, Evans -- and wonder if you're putting yourself in the wrong place. And yet, having spoken to a few, I know everyone is nervous when the opportunity comes about."
