Robert Pattinson and his amazing physical change to play 'Batman'
When it became known that Robert Pattinson would be the new actor in charge of bringing Batman to life, many of his followers were excited to think that they would see his idol become a superhero. Now, he was in charge of dismantling all that fantasy by saying that he did not intend to become a muscular Batman, something that bothered him greatly. However, it is only necessary to see the new trailer for the film to realize that he has lied: his physical change is spectacular.
Robert Pattinson debuted as a fan idol in 2008 with the release of Twilight, the first of six vampire films that became a worldwide phenomenon. Since then, he has struggled to shake off the label of teen charmer with the jobs he has been accepting after that stage.
Now, at 38 years old, the artist has returned to the commercial sphere with a character that, curiously, can also make him a media phenomenon again. And it is that embodying any superhero, whether from the Marvel factory or from DC Comics, is to run the risk of being idolized by millions of people in the world, although it seems that Pattinson does not care about that anymore. Hence, he has decided to put on the Batman suit.
Production has been delayed, like many others, due to covid, and filming had to be stopped on several occasions due to positive cases among the members of the film's team, including the actor's double. To all this we must add the accident that Robert Pattinson's double suffered in February 2020, before the pandemic broke out, and which also altered filming times.
Meanwhile, the interpreter has been giving interviews in which he has talked about his character and how he was preparing for it. Some of the statements that attracted the most attention were those in which he assured that he did not intend to muscle up for the role, thus showing his indignation at the physical demands that were being imposed on his colleagues by profession.
I think that if you spend the day training you are part of the problem. You have to set a precedent. Nobody was doing this in the 70s. Even James Dean never had to be as fit as they demand now, ”he commented a few months ago in an interview with GQ while adding“ I will break stereotypes ”.
Well, now that the Batman trailers have begun to see the light, it must be said that if someone expected to see a Robert Pattinson fofisano, he will not find it. The artist has been preparing for this character and, contrary to what his followers expected, the physical change he has undergone is very remarkable.
Let us remember that the actor has never been a fan of the gym and that he himself remembered that “one day of Twilight recordings they asked me to take off my shirt for a scene. As soon as I did, they told me I had to put it back on.” Well, you only need to take a look at the new Batman trailer to realize that his body does show off muscles, something that has caused reactions of surprise and admiration among those who eagerly await the premiere of the film.
