Robert Pattinson On ‘The Lighthouse,’ ‘Twilight’ Craze, New Batman Movie | Sunday TODAY
In this week’s Sunday Sitdown, actor Robert Pattinson talks to Willie Geist about the new movie “Lighthouse,” his latest in a run of smaller films after the blockbuster “Twilight” saga. Pattinson, staying tightlipped, also says it was “an immediate yes” to playing the Caped Crusader in the latest installment in that franchise.

Inception and Dark Knight Trilogy being some of my all time favorite movies. So now I'm pretty excited about this, and I hope it keeps an air of secrecy even when they have to start to promote it. Keep us guessing what it's about. Don't spoil anything in the trailers, etc... Thank you for the info on this.

Sufy P I think he will be an amazing Bruce Wayne, I hate it when people just throw away the Bruce Wayne aspect of the Batman character, I feel like the idea of Bruce Wayne being the mask and Batman being the person behind it is kind of ridiculous. Because it makes it seem like the alter ego is not important, both Batman and Bruce Wayne are masks that hide a trouble man struggling with the death of his parents

8 reasons why Robert Pattinson will be a good Batman. 1. He’s an incredibly talented actor. Remember Me, The Rover, Good Time, High Life, The Lighthouse, etc. proves that. 2. He has the right height and chin for the role. Love him or hate him, he‘s pretty much tailor made for the Batsuit. 3. He can put on muscle for the part. An anorexic Christian Bale bulked up for Batman Begins, so anything’s possible. 4. He kinda looks like a young Ben Affleck. The Batman will be a prequel to Batman v Superman, so it fits. 5. He’s not the only controversial comic book casting. Nobody wanted Heath Ledger as The Joker but he proved them wrong. 6. He’s going to be in a solo movie, which the DCEU excels at making. Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam delivered. 7. He’s going to be directed by one of the best filmmakers today. Matt Reeves will direct a phenomenal Batman flick. 8. He’s going to star in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film Tenet. So far, two Dark Knight directors want to work with him.
