Robert Pattinson On Why He Wanted To Play Batman, 'The Lighthouse' & More | Entertainment Weekly
/ ew - Розваги
it’s insane how he turned his career from twilight to this and the best thing is that he’s batman now
nothing but respect to him
OBAMOS 7 dudes vocabulary is impressive as well. Seems like a real lad.
Di Caprio went from Titanic to winning an Oscar! Both great carriers.
OBAMOS 7 Well. I think it’s safe to say that he’s moved on from the Twilight years. But yea, I feel the same way about him. And I think he’s an excellent choice for the role, and will do a fine job.
Funny how things come full circle when he was a Vampire and now he's a man dressed up as a Bat! Can you imagine him being Dracula?
CrazyFish he’s more attractive now than his twilight days by far.
I’m a straight guy but this guy is ridiculously handsome
He is!
🤣🤣🤣Tom Hardy , Chris Evans enters the chat. But apart from that he's a good actor way better than some of the teenage bullshit actors.
Yep$
Pal, you don't need to be gay to recognize when a man is attractive
lol you are straight, not blind 🤣
Its really hard not to like him. He's humble, funny and he's just an amazing actor.
Right!!
10 reasons why Robert Pattinson will be a good Batman:
1. He’s an incredibly talented actor. Remember Me, Water for Elephants, The Rover, Good Time, High Life, The Lighthouse, etc. proves that.
2. He’s already pulled off a cocky and charismatic billionaire in Cosmopolis. If anyone has what it takes to play a young Bruce Wayne, it’s him.
3. He looks like he’s bulked up for the role. Nearly every superhero actor works out hard enough to get the superhero physique.
4. He has the right height and chin for the part. Love him or hate him, he’s pretty much tailor made for the dark and gritty Batsuit.
5. He’s being trained for The Batman from the same guy who trained Keanu Reeves for John Wick. Imagine how intense the fights will be.
6. He’s done plenty of research for Batman. The amount of comics he’s read shows how much this character means to him.
7. He has support from Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan. Nobody should argue with the men who gave us The Dark Knight Trilogy.
8. He’s not the only controversial comic book casting. Nobody wanted Heath Ledger as The Joker but he proved them wrong.
9. He’s going to be the lead in the upcoming and highly anticipated Tenet. So far, two Dark Knight directors want to work with him.
10. He’s going to be directed by one of the best filmmakers today. Matt Reeves will direct a phenomenal Batman flick.
Vladimir Manosalvas i agree, i think he’ll be a good batman but why does everyone think so highly of matt reeves? Correct if im wrong but i think the only noteworthy stuff hes directed is cloverfield and the recent planet of the apes movies, id hardly call that worthy of being considered one of the best filmmakers.
Spoken truthfully
I cannot argue with that
juday chop All I know is Reeves will do for Batman what Nolan did. Make a critically acclaimed and financially successful Dark Knight trilogy that isn’t set in a shared universe.
Question. What kind of hairstyle fits Batman?
one of the most unbothered,talented and intesting actors out there.
sunflower Lmaoo
He just doesn't give a fuck anymore and I'm living for it
No he’s gonna be trash as Batman
@@toren2099 can't wait for this comment to not age well
@@toren2099 June 21st 2021 you finna eat the hell out of those words bro lol
I love how Rob is so happy and always laughing on his interviews, but in his movies he could be the most cold hearted and serious person you could ever see, now that's acting
He deserves everything. He is captivating, down to earth, incredibly talented and gorgeous
None of those things.

@@serenitybeats1677 Bro like I didn't see these comments until now, but are you all robots that somehow forgot how to enunciate? Fucking sheep. Literally people just say anything, and copy the next. Are you all talking about a baseball cap? Our world is to literal feces.
He has the coolest hair ever
always messy / chaotic but still so beautiful
For anyone who still judges Robert Pattinson for his involvement in the Twilight series, I cannot express how much you need to see his indie work! Good Time and The Lighthouse are absolutely outstanding performances from him, he is very versatile and will bring many great things to the role of Bruce Wayne / Batman.
agreed, he has proven that he is more than some kiddy vampire in the years and I think he will be a fantastic batman
For everyone who continues the “twilight” hate. It was a job it got him money. Actors need to pay their bills too remember?
@@spiderrocket8367 and fame too
Will G what does JJ abrams have to do with any of this?
@Will G JJ Abrams? He's not involved with The Batman lol Matt Reeves is directing and for the other things, that's your own personal hatred. As long as the actors give great / accurate portrayals, who the fuck cares about what they look like, it's a talented cast.
He's got the Batman chin
He was the best part of tenet. So charismatic on screen
I think he's wearing larger clothes to hide his batman physique.
Looks that way.
Yep. Hiding those gainz. At first I thought he gained a whole bunch of weight but his face is still very waify Edward-esque.
S. M.P look his arms
Kyle Roberts yeah I know. It’s a common thing until the training is completed. He’s most probably gets some extra protein too.
Yup ure right
Even though tenet and Batman are more “blockbuster”, I still feel it’s still very in his Indie/ cinematic vibe
I wanted to see him in a romantic movie.
@Valentina Br. He’s scheduled to begin filming another indie movie with director Claire Denis as soon as The Batman is finished. I heard it’s called “The Stars at Noon.” Not entirely sure, but I think the plot involves some romance eventually between an American woman in South America and a mysterious British businessman. But having seen some of this director’s films, I’m thinking it’s not your conventional movie.
14:48 is when they start talking about Batman ... 🤦♂️
You are a Saint.
Thanks
Thank You!
Thanks man!
U deserve more likes !
Because he's so shy and sort of attractively awkward I had no idea he was so cerebral. I love hearing him talk about film, he's very knowledgeable without pretention.
Oh lord, the switch has already happened. Now everyone is pretending like they were huge fans from the start lmao
Oh man, 2021 is gonna be the year of the backtrack lol. A lot of hats gonna get eaten. So many people acting as if he did the Twilight films and then stopped acting for a decade. His filmography is insane!
Yes I remember when things first started everyone was like that guy, the vampire guy!
I'll admit...I was NOT a Twilight fan. I never saw all the Twilight films and I don't know if I will. I started watching some of his post-Twilight stuff after I saw a trailer for The Lighthouse and was curious and I was like, "Damn, he's good." Also, I'm a Batman fan so him playing the Dark Knight was just a bonus.
Ice Cube Director of Shield I am a huge fan since the start.. it’s not a lie
same thing to Joaquin Phoenix
The respect I have for this man. By watching his movies, you can clearly see that he's doing it for the passion. More than a decade later and he still seemed to be really down to earth.
His hair♥️
His voice ♥️
His jaw♥️
His nonchalant personality ♥️
He's perfect 🔥
He’s definitely hiding his Batman body with those clothes!!
Edit: Just saw the trailer he’s my favorite Batman...yes I said it..
yeah lmao , they think it can't cover up xD
Small ass shoulders what gains
@@amiroukaci7506 better than urs
Amir Oukaci watch him in the lighthouse he’s lean but he’s pretty big
Exactly how young Batman should be
He may be the most humble and unaffected actor in Hollywood...
@PunlockHomes Adam Driver is pretty down to earth too
@PunlockHomes Yep. Still can't get over that ending..the way he was like trying not to cry in front of his son..damn
Gabriela Bădiloiu what ending?
@@Jami-kj4fm the ending to Mariage story
Keanu reeves and Hugh Jackman: Hold my Beer
Nah just playing
The most handsome Bruce Wayne
He is incredibly fun, funny and charming in interviews. He even has the interviewer cracking up. Why hasn’t he been cast in a comedic role yet? He’d be wonderful.
he was in damsel where he played a kind of comedic role !
Rob is such a talent. Truly outstanding in everything he does.
He's going to kill it on screen as B Man
Indeed.
Even Cedric
14:49 for Batman
0:01 for The Lighthouse
Sir, you are a hero
Get this comment to the top!
Thank you sire
THANK YOU! :)
He’s done so many interviews in his lifetime but it still feels like he wasn’t prepared and he just makes the whole mood so bubbly and happy when he laughs
Classic Rob.
I have full faith that Robert Pattinson will succeed as The Batman
His face Is Perfect for a Young Batman👍
He has the chin
@@theriddler2479 that's all. He doesnt look like a Bruce Wayne at all.
Jordan Bryant yes he does
@@jordanrodriguez6412 and bale looked like Bruce Wayne? Did Keaton? Did Kilmer? Did Clooney? No. Affleck comes the closest only to the animated series. Lol wtf are you talking about? Tell me who you think looks the closest to bruce Wayne? And which bruce Wayne are you referring to? Comics, Arkham games? Animated series? Animated movie? Lol tell me who? Don't you say bale....
@@jdruiz_95 nope. I agree none of them did. For me Batfleck was the closest and only true cb like batman. Whether its the Animated series, Arkham games, or comic books. Idk why wb let him go. Its ridiculous
Robert Pattinson is like pathologically humble
Robert Pattinson constantly shares and shares and speaks so beautifully and honestly. You have to love this guy! I love raw talent!!
An incredibly accurate description of The Lighthouse
“I tend it, and he bangs it”
I’ve loved him since Twilight❤️ don’t give a rats ass who hates that, but damn he is simply an amazing actor. He has stated in other , earlier interviews that his hair playing is a nervous tic. I love that he doesn’t fit any Hollywood mold at all, and I can sit here and listen to him speak days. I’m damn proud to say I’m a Rob Pattinson fan❤️ bring on Batman, hunny, you gonna kill it!
Exactly❤️❤️
❤
Yup….we’ve known for years how amazing he is!!!!!
Pattinson is one of those actors I love to see in anything. Just want to see what interesting way he is going to appear. Always captivating.
Robert Pattinson is going to be the best Batman in 2021
Yes, he's very intense. I'm going to enjoy his haters having to know that.
2022 :(
Fact
the way he answered it is so amazing... he praise the previous Batman actors... amazing man Robert..
5:45 that tuft of his hair flicking to one side😂
Omg 😂
He is not Robert pattinson anymore, he is batman now, and he dig it
Seeing this guy play Batman, especially after watching all of his indie films, will be a real delight. The versatile and chameleon approach he's taken to his career post-Twilight has been very interesting, and with "Tenet" up next I know he will give his all to play Batman.
bruh i love rob so much. from his humor, to his trolling skills, to simply being humble. he truly does his job for his job. not for the fame or money. i can’t wait to see what else he does. his moves (acting wise) are so strange and unique. he goes from unique to hollywood blockbuster films. i legit just wanna sit down and have a down to earth convo w him. he’s legit the coolest
i honestly couldn't agree more
Robert is just incredible.
Handsome bloke...insanely excited for his iteration of the Bat
You can tell he's packed on muscle, aside from what he's wearing.
He's ready for the Role of Batman.
they snubbed robert pattinson for best actor as if he didn't give one of the best performances of the year
I agree. The whole film in general got a raw deal. How the fuck did they overlook Willem Dafoe???
same thing happened with his performance in good time
Robert deserves to win the Oscar🎩🎥🎬🎭
Mark my words....this man is going to be an awesome batman!
Robert Pattinsons has aged like a fine wine...
Not that he’s really that old or anything but he really has aged extraordinarily well. He must take pretty good care of himself and I’m really interested in hearing his skincare routine. It definitely isn’t just a money thing either because I’ve seen way too many rich people who look like hell.
@@gaelgarciaisagod his skincare was actually posted on a interview with a picture. i couldn’t tell what the products were, but the image is out there
I love how the lighthouse is basically a timeless movie. It could easily pass for a film made in the 70s or even earlier. Great film that actually makes you think and stretch your own comprehension of reality
Who's watching this after "The Batman" trailer dropped? I'm vengeance!!
ME :D and its was in my recommendations
@@ADmillionaire I've watched a few of his videos in regards to Batman, also watched a bunch of trailer reactions. That damn trailer has definitely got me hyped!! Bet I've watched it 100 times
It’s a shame he, Dafoe and the film in general didn’t get much love this award season, but The Lighthouse is defiantly my favorite film of 2019.
Lighthouse was brilliant.. Should at least get an oscar nod
He’s had the best answer every on why he wants to play batman
Why?
He seems so out of the scene definitely his own person. I really like him😇
What do you mean "out of the scene"?
@@333br like not youre typical hollywood guy seems really genuine to me like he really dosent care for the lifestyle just enjoys the work.
Pattinson does his homework and is clearly passionate about his job. His independent Films are where you find his range and originality. I didn't even know who he was until I saw Good Time trying to relax after Thanksgiving! What a crazy ride-it was fantastic! When an actor makes you want more? Seriously, He is one of the best actors around right now. So Intrigued to see his portrayal of our beloved, tortured soul (maybe "vigilante style?") Batman 2021 and so impressed by the depth of what he brings to each character thus far. The Lighthouse, L.C of Z, H.Life, GT, The Rover, The King......he brought me back to loving film. Thank you Mr. Pattinson.
This guy can change his hairstyle after every 30 seconds
He is so objectively beautiful, it's like science ha Happy for him and Willem.
He was so great in Good Time, and so was the director/actor Bennie Safdie who played his mentally challenged brother, and also, the actor who played Ray was absolutely excellent! I wish the dark scenes like in the carnival could have been somewhat lighted -- hard to see.
Damn he looks THICCCC
He's going to knock it off the park Rob is born to play the role as batman
Remember when Pattinson was in Twilight and everybody hated him? Cheers to those who saw a good actor in him then instead of waiting around to be wowed by seeing some artsy flick.
He's super eccentric and awkward. Love it!
Fantastic interview with Robert, he’s wonderfully articulate and relaxed 😘
I think he's fucking smart and a great actor. I trusted him for Batman since day one. I need to see "The Lighthouse".
"The Lighthouse" is one of the best movies I have EVER seen. Absolutely flawless. From recent years, only "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" can compare (or maybe "Loving Vincent", "mother!" and "The Favourite", but they do not have that feeling of realness and emotional impact). Brilliant cinema!
Nothing but love and respect for MY Batman 😭😍
Is he hiding his Batman buffness in that huge shirt??
Nah look his forarm he still looks skinny as fuck 😂
Usayd Khan I promise you he’s on some kind of workout for the role.
Nathan Green shut the fuuuuck up. He’s had ZERO trouble putting on the weight THEY want him to put on. if he did, shooting would not have happened this past few days
@@ashbinx You can have smaller forearms and still be relatively buff. It has a lot to do with genetics. If you have a smaller wrist its going to be harder to make your forearms thicker and if you have smaller ankles its harder to make your calves bigger.
Nathan Green sounds like you’ve been frustrated in the gym at times haha. If he wants to look like The Rock, then you’re right, but if he’s going for a standard ripped look (like Bale in these movies) then I hate to tell you that MOST people don’t have trouble retaining muscle if they’re working out correctly.
I’m loving this hair on Rob! Very flattering.
I just love his long messy hair and how he plays with it.
No homo, but how anyone can tell me he’s not attractive is beyond me.
His personality is very humbling.
Northern Star why is that??
shlong donger Same opinion... he is so good looking!
@@selina9260 lol . I would recommend a dictionary for you so you understand what humbling means.
Northern Star doesn’t it mean something like mortify or degrade?
Who else is here after seeing the Batman trailer
🙋♂️
I wish i could have hair like him
I'm sure you could for like 20 grand to spare. Just takes money.
Bruce Lee nah bro, if you have good genes, you don’t have to do all that shit
He still makes my heart go pitter patter!!! Love you Rob!
Pattinson failing to hide how buff hes already gotten
Robert Pattinson's Batman with Joaquin Phoenix Joker 🙏
After playing his role in the lighthouse, High Life , The king. He is now able to play Batman. Keep in mind these movies are all about suspense and drama.
"It's never seemed like a cash in"
Batman and robin would like a word with you rob.....
Please go watch the movie, Good Time. Crazy thriller. He’s probably going to nail it as Batman.
Really looking forward to seeing him in Tenet (by far my most anticipated movie of the year) this summer!
I'm glad that I've been a supporter of Robert's since his twilight days, even if he hates Edward Cullen I still liked this guy and every other films that he's done and The Lighthouse was really great, now tenet and batman can't wait for him to conquer the Hollywood.
I am very happy for him and his hair looks better now from a few years back (has become healthier and thicker) 👍😊
I am looking forward to see Robert play Batman. This man is an underrated action star. He was a savage in twilight especially in breaking dawn Part 2. The reason why I am looking forward to his depiction of Batman is because he is bringing a sinister dark energy to Batman. If you notice, Batman always was defensive when he fights. He never was offensive, but in the trailer, Batman was the offensive when he fought in the trailer. Batman is not known to beat someone savagely. Pattison brought the savagery to life when Batman beat someone down in the trailer. I am definitely looking forward to see Robert's portrayl of an iconic superhero.
I low key can’t wait for this!!!!
Wow my baby daddy since I was 13 really making me proud, now everyone who was making fun of him before here for him now huh 🧐 lo
i- 😂😂😂
Lmao😭😂😂😂
He looks like a big dwarf in that shirt
ha ha yes
Lately he's been dressed like this, maybe he hides his body for Batman
Yeah I think he’s bulking up for Batman
screenfresh He tries to hide his Batman physic until it’s completed.
@@arturo.jaracv Exactly!
He just doesnt really care about his hair 😂
@Monica Wasch Interviews still make him nervous. He doesn't play with his hair as much as he used to. And his stylist keeps it long on top, so it falls in his face. It's still the same shade as in Tenet.
RP is definitely hiding that batman💪 can't wait to see him in the bat suit
Here you can see three pictures of him training, in the summer of 2018:

Hope they got him on a real training regiment putting up good weight. Even batman from the animated series and animated movies had a thick look. Batman animated series still had a thick upper body. Comic book batman bigger than that.
Hes more on the skinny side than the shredded. Not that bullshit personal trainers have their clients do
Thanks for this! 🌅
Really looking forward to The Batman! I think he's going to do awesome!

The shape of his head reminds me of the batman animated series.
