Robert Pattinson Jokes About Switching To Porn If The Batman Fails
Robert Pattinson has made some unusual comments since taking over the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne for DC and Warner Bros., including remarks about Batman’s status as a superhero, with others claiming Pattinson is having some problems putting on the muscle for the part. The latest interview with Pattinson, who is in rehearsals for The Batman, saw him make a surprising prediction for his career path doesn’t work out.
When asked by the Guardian newspaper what he’d do if The Batman is a failure, Pattinson was quick to note:
“Porn. But art-house porn.”
Unfortunately for some fans, Pattinson’s tongue was very much in his cheek for the interview, so it’s unlikely we’ll be seeing the actor make this career move any time soon. Recent conversations with Pattinson suggest he’s already tired of the scrutiny over his casting, something that he previously had to deal with when part of the Twilight franchise:
“I’m already remembering what it’s like to talk about a movie where there’s an expectation. Whenever you say anything, people are like, ‘Argh! You idiot!’ Like, dude, I haven’t even started yet.”
However, Pattinson admitted he’s typically the first to call himself out on a bad performance, commenting as so:
“But there is no harsher critic of myself than myself, so I don’t need to worry about anyone else.”
Given the quality of Pattinson’s career in recent years, the actor certainly has the calibre to play Batman, and will likely be closer to Christian Bale’s intensity than the more weary take of Ben Affleck. From what we know about The Batman so far, it’s likely to involve several different villains, and possibly even a future appearance by Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. Our sources have also recently provided us with a possible full plot (with potential spoilers), which seems to confirm earlier speculation about the picture having a more noirish tone.
Of course, there’s still a long way to go until The Batman arrives on our screens on June 25th, 2021. As well as giving Pattinson a lot more opportunities to have fun with interviews about his role, there’s sure to be more coming down the line about the cast and plot as rehearsals continue. With this in mind, we’ll be keeping an eye out for any news from the production as it takes shape, so watch this space for updates.
