Less than a month has passed since the premiere of the new Batman movie and Robert Pattinson spoke in detail for the first time about his role. In an interview with GQ, he emphasizes that the film makes its intentions clear from the beginning: “I saw an early version of the film for myself. And the first scene is so different from the other Batman movies, that it sets the mood for you from the beginning. This is what Matt told me from the first meeting I had with him. ‘I want to make a movie that looks like a noir from the’ 70s like Conversation. Then I guess he just meant the atmosphere. But from the first scene you understand that it is really a detective story “.
The 35-year-old actor emphasizes that his approach to Bruce Wayne is completely different from what we have seen in previous films. “He’s pretty weird both as Bruce Wayne and as Batman and I think he has a zero-sum approach. In other films, Bruce usually leaves, prepares, and returns to Gotham, believing in himself and how things will change. “But here, it is just implied that he had some kind of breakdown.”
As usual, Gotham is a corrupt mire, but the difference is that in Matt Reeves’s film, locals do not see Batman as a savior, but as another threat. “The people of Gotham believe that Batman is another sign that things are very bad. In one scene he crushes criminals at the train station and in the script there is an attack of the type that saves as if he thinks that things are worse. Either they rob you or a monster comes and slaps them all. The guy has no idea that Batman is saving him. “
This time we will not see on screen the death of Bruce Wayne’s parents, a scene that has been repeated many times, but we will see the psychological trauma he has left on the character. Pattinson says: “All the other stories say that Bruce becomes Batman because of the death of his parents, but I tried to capture it in a truer way without justifying it. He has made this intricate construction that ends up being the Batman persona. But it is not something healthy. “It’s like drug addiction.”
Finally, Robert Pattinson makes it clear that this is by no means a film with an optimistic message: “There is a time when Alfred asks Bruce what his family would think of his side activities and what they mean for her. inheritance of the name. Bruce says: ‘This is my legacy. If I do not, there is nothing else for me. ‘ I interpret this not as “I have no purpose”, but ‘I’re done’. And I think that makes it even sadder. It’s a sad movie. We see him trying to find hope not only for the city but also for himself. Usually Bruce does not question his abilities, but the ability of the city to change. But it is something completely crazy. “The only way for me to live is to dress like a bat.”
Matt Reeves’s movie, which premieres in theaters on March 3, is huge and reaches 167 minutes without end titles, a duration that ranks it only behind Endgame in the list of super-hero movies that have been shown in cinemas.
