Robert Pattinson on Filming The Batman, “Was Really Dead Afterward, Looked Green”

Robert Pattinson the popular English actor known for his unique roles in films like The Lighthouse, The Devil All the Time, Tenet, The King and many more, will now be seen in Matt Reeves’ The Batman which will show the life of a younger Bruce Wayne. The story will be based on the DC comics Year One and The Long Halloween. The actor will be seen to portray a much darker version of the Caped Crusader.

Robert Pattinson began his career in Hollywood with the teen Vampire saga, The Twilight Series which was based on the book of the same name written by Stephenie Meyer. Since that the actor has come a long way and have carefully picked up roles where he is able to challenge himself and delve into some kind of experiment. Well, The Batman also seems to be his one such experiment. But unlike his independent films, The Batman is a much more hyped and anticipated movie, which is already has a lot of expectations.

The film will also star big names from the Hollywood industry including  Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell. All the actors had to go through rigorous training and acting as none of them seem to be playing characters belonging to their comfort zone. The Twilight star says he spent so many hours filming ‘The Batman’ in the dark that he turned green.

He plays the Caped Crusader in a film shot mostly at night, reports Mirror. The 35-year-old actor Robert Pattinson says: “I was really, really, really dead afterward. I looked at a photo of myself from April and I looked green. “The nature of the shoot was so kind of insular, always shooting at night, and I felt very much alone. You’re not really allowed out of the studio with the suit on, so I barely knew what was going on at all outside.”

Robert Pattinson adds: “You have to feel the pain. And suddenly it’s like God gives you a little treat, ‘Here’s an idea you’ve never thought of before’.”
