From his iconic portrayal of a lovestruck vampire in the Twilight series to his latest role as a disturbed lighthouse keeper in director Robert Eggers frightening drama The Lighthouse, its clear that Robert Pattinson is drawn to playing dark and brooding characters.
While that might make his casting as Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves upcoming adventure The Batman seem like a no-brainer, Pattinson admitted to Jennifer Lopez during an appearance on Varietys Actors on Actors series that his interest in the role raised some eyebrows at first.
With Batman, its a strange one with me, Pattinson said. Even my agent was like, really?
Yet the idea of playing Gotham Citys moody caped crusader wouldnt let him go. I was very, very focused on it, and I dont know why. It just kind of kept coming back into my head.
Portraying Batman as a gallant figure, however, is the furthest thing from Pattinsons mind. I have no interest whatsoever in playing someone whos heroic, he told Lopez. The only time I want to play someone who an audience knows theyre supposed to like is when they really shouldnt like them. Thats the only time.
Pattinson sees the Dark Knight as a deeply disturbed individual. Hes a very troubled person. I always found it interesting that Batman is always struggling a little bit, especially in some iterations of the story. He doesnt know if hes that great or not, and thats kind of interesting.
Echoing Twilight fans around the world, Lopez believes that Pattinson is the perfect choice to play the legendary superhero. I think youll be a great Batman. An awesome Batman! Seriously, because hes a dark character.
You would be as well! Pattinson replied.
Huh? I could be Batman? Lopez exclaimed. Why not!
Varietys Actors on Actors will be published in November in a special issue of the magazine timed to Academy Awards voting. The companion TV series premieres on Jan. 2 on PBS SoCal.
RE: Now I know why Kristen Stewart cheated on him.
She doesn’t even know what gender she wants.
LOL! That’s perfect.
RE: Didnt he turn Kristin Stewart into a Lesbo?
She was always confused as to what gender she wants...
I guess it wasn't enough to have a Man of Steel who hates the idea of being Superman (don't worry, I hate the idea of you being Superman, too), now DC figures it's time to have a Caped Crusader who hates being Batman. And they wonder why they suck compared to Marvel (who are doing their best to destroy their franchise as well).
I WAS Batman!.....................when I was 11................
Bat-tranny?
Shes a lesbo
It gets weirder
Probably better as Asswoman.
lol
Did you hear about the little Greek boy who left home because he felt he wasn’t being reared properly?
He came back, though; he didn’t want to leave his little brothers behind.
She likes it all. Ho bag like Miley.
Males and females both have tongues...
LOL, that’s terrible. :)
What a maroon.
Batman is a hero.
He is fighting evil.
We live in remedial times.
Trans-speciesism too, don’t neglect that.
Trans bat trans man
I was about to ask, if when she changes into a bat, does the bat have a big butt and fly at an angle???
But then I realized Batman doesn’t change into bats, that’s Dracula. Maybe cast Jennifer Lopez as a vampire instead of Batman. Anybody can be a vampire. Even if you make a big butted bat.
comedy: the new trans-serious
Buttwoman.
Didn’t Leni Riefenstahl use SS troops in drag for one of her war-time flicks?
Alfred, we’re going to need to let that seat out on the Batsuit a few sizes...
