In an interview with Variety, Robert Pattinson said:
“I’d had Batman in my mind for a while. It’s such an absurd thing to say. I sort of had an idea to do it, and I’d been prodding Matt. He didn’t accept any prods. I kept asking to meet him.”
While talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Matt Reeves explained his version of the Batman saying,
“It’s more Batman in his detective mode than we’ve seen in the films.”
The Batman is all set to release on 25th June 2021, and the movie’s preproduction will start this summer.
