Robert Pattinson reveals playing both Bruce Wayne and the Batman was easy for him; Here's why
Robert Pattinson found an easy and subtle way to connect the two personas.
Robert Pattinson discusses how he was able to portray both Bruce Wayne and his caped alter ego in The Batman. Due to unanticipated delays caused by the coronavirus outbreak, interest for The Batman has been slowly rising for years. Finally, the DC picture will be released in cinemas this week, and it seems that all of the anticipation has paved the road for success.
The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves, follows Bruce Wayne in his second year as Gotham's vigilante. This Bruce is tormented by his demons at the hands of Pattinson and Reeves, and things worsen when a masked murderer (Paul Dano's Riddler) starts targeting members of the city's elite. The boundary between Bruce Wayne and Batman varies from representation to depiction, and it will be rather thin in The Batman.
However, Pattinson recently spoke with CinemaBlend about how his Bruce performance blended into the Batman. Though it may seem to be a challenging balance, he confessed that one component of it was relatively simple. Robert said as per Screenrant, "What made it easy is that he really hasn’t figured out where Bruce ends and where Batman begins at this point in our telling of the story. And so sometimes (it's) Bruce seeping out of Batman. And there are a couple of scenes where I’m doing a kind of little, subtle vocal change. It’s incredibly subtle a lot of times."
Given that he is just in his second year as Batman, it's understandable that Pattinson's Bruce would struggle to separate himself from his vigilante character. Bruce is still putting Batman together. The Batman genuinely does give a unique take on a well-known character, thanks in large part to what Pattinson brings to the role. He has the potential to become the fans' new favourite Batman.
