Robert Pattinsonwas going after the coveted role of Batman for a longer than previously reported.
Id had Batman in my mind for a while, Pattinson said.
Its such an absurd thing to say.

I sort of had an idea to do it, and Id been prodding Matt.
He didnt accept any prods.
I kept asking to meet him.
When that thing leaked, I was fing furious, Pattinson said.
Everyone was so upset.
Everyone was panicking from my team.
I sort of thought that had blown up the whole thing …
I was like, Oh f!
Does that screw me because they are so intent on secrecy?'
You do feel very powerful immediately, he said.
Youve got five people trying to shove you into something.
To be honest, it was less vitriolic than I was expecting, Pattinson said.
Its much more fun when youre an underdog.
Theres no expectation of you.
The Batmanwill be released by Warner Bros. on June 25, 2021.
