Robert Pattinson’s Batman preparations: pizza binges, jiu jitsu training, reading comics, and ‘dirty bulking’
Taking over from Ben Affleck and joining a cast which already includes Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano and Colin Farrell, the former Twilight star is under epic pressure to assume the mantle of Bruce Wayne
The new Batman live action film is set for release in June 2021 and it seems Robert Pattinson – who takes over the title role from Ben Affleck, and steps into the batsuit following era-defining turns from Christian Bale and Michael Keaton – has a lot to prove to the DC Universe's die-hard fans.
The first series outing from Cloverfield director Matt Reeves, Zoë Kravitz will reprise the role of Catwoman for this reboot, titled simply The Batman, taking over from, most recently, Anne Hathaway.
As for Batman's mortal enemies, Paul Dano, who starred in There Will Be Blood, will play the Riddler, and Colin Farrell will take on the role of the Penguin.
