The Batman Is A “Totally Different Vibe” Compared To Earlier Films, Pattinson Says

DC’s new film, The Batman, comes to theaters next month, and now star Robert Pattinson has shared a little more insight into what to expect from the superhero movie. Speaking to GQ, Pattinson said The Batman won’t be an origin story for the Caped Crusader, so we won’t have to see Bruce Wayne’s parents get murdered again. However, Pattinson’s Batman will be living with the grief of that experience.

“It’s a totally different vibe. It’s sad. It’s a tragedy,” Pattinson said. “Instead of him getting over his parents dying at the beginning, and then becoming Batman and saving Gotham, now he really hasn’t gotten over them at all. And I’m playing [into] the parents’ death constantly the whole time.”

“I didn’t realize how sad it would make me feel. There is something about his relationship with Selina Kyle [Zoe Kravitz] as well. It’s very present in the graphic novels. There are ways to reinterpret that character. An infinite number of ways. This is the maybe 9th or 10th Batman movie and it does feel incredibly different,” he added.
