If you've seen the trailers for The Batman, you may have noticed that Battinson has no problem punching bad guys to a pulp. Not surprisingly, Robert Pattinson confirms his Caped Crusader isn't holding back whenever he goes up against those thugs. The Rover star has just revealed that his version of the DC superhero actually takes pleasure in inflicting pain and gives an interesting explanation why!
Robert Pattinson recently spoke to Premiere where he admits he thought about how Bruce Wayne feels the need to kill in The Batman.
"I imagined it that way from the rehearsal of the first fight, I thought it was funnier: something in him just wanted to slit the guy's throat! I told myself that if he spends his nights chasing criminals, it is impossible that he does not take pleasure in it," Pattinson said. He continues by stating Bruce needs the violence to help him deal with what he has been through.
"He suffers and it is a desire that overwhelms him. And by dint of knocking, his mind clears, he calms down, he reaches a state close to plenitude. I'm sure in this first fight, he manages to convince himself that every guy in front of him is the one who killed his mother," Pattinson said with a laugh. "And so that allows him to vent all his rage."
That certainly makes sense and there is little doubt that Bruce Wayne struggles to deal with all the tragedies he has been through. With that in mind, we're expecting The Batman to show us a different side of the Caped Crusader.
The Batman is directed by Matt Reeves and also stars Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell. The film is scheduled for release on March 4, 2022.
