Pattinson had to lie to Christopher Nolan about it, but Nolan, who was no stranger to Batman and Warner Bros., immediately figured it out. Pattinson: "It's funny because Chris (Nolan) is so secretive about everything to do with his movies. And then I had to be really secretive about Batman stuff. So I had to lie to Chris about having to go for a screen test. I said I had a family emergency. And as soon as I said it's a family emergency, he said: 'You're doing the Batman audition, aren't you?'" Pattinson was told that he won the role of Batman a day before principal photography for Tenet began and was surprised that Nolan cogratulated him, although Pattinson hadn't told anybody about it yet.
Matt Reeves cites the Batman comics "Batman: Ego", "Batman: Year One" and "Batman: The Long Halloween" as influences on the film.
Pattinson's Bruce Wayne is inspired by Kurt Cobain. Writer/director Matt Reeves was listening to Nirvana when he wrote the first act: "That's when it came to me that, rather than make Bruce Wayne the playboy version we've seen before, there's another version who had gone through a great tragedy and became a recluse. Kurt Cobain had a relationship with fame, where being famous was not his goal. He loved music, but the idea of being famous for music was a double edged sword for him. And that made me think of Rob Pattinson, actually. Because Rob is a very private person himself and doesn't necessary like the part of being recognized everywhere as an actor." RELATED MOVIES |
