Robert Pattinson's transformation into Batman has begun. A new profile of the actor by
The Guardian reveals that Pattinson has begun rehearsals for
The Batman. Based on the piece, it sounds like Pattinson isn't happy with where he is with the character yet, but he admits that he's his own worst critic in that regard. At the same time, he spoke again about what drew him to playing DC's Dark Knight. “I felt a connection to it, I don’t know why... I just really wanted it.” He goes on to say that the role has a “power… everyone is attracted to it. It’s an unidentifiable thing.”
Pattinson is rehearsing in the same studio where he filmed Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. He says it's the first time he's worked in a studio in “like, forever." It's also the first time he's played a major character with built-in expectations since he wrapped on the Twilight franchise in 2012. Playing Batman, the experience of being in that kind of role is coming back to him. “I’m already remembering what it’s like to talk about a movie where there’s an expectation," he says. "Whenever you say anything, people are like, ‘Argh! You idiot!’ Like, dude, I haven’t even started yet!”
