While discussing the film, Pattinson described Batman as “the original superhero and still the most impactful today.” He explained that researching the role made him realize how long Batman has been a part of our culture, pointing out that similar characters appear in imagery from ancient civilizations. He likened the film’s enduring appeal to the timeless quality of an Old Fashioned cocktail.

The actor explained that there’s a fundamental, almost instinctive appeal to the character’s appearance. It resonates with everyone – both kids and adults – and is also strengthened by the long history of the films themselves.

Robert Pattinson praised director Matt Reeves, saying he’s “amazing at creating big, exciting movies that still feel smart and substantial.” Pattinson feels Reeves avoids the feeling of being cheated out of a good story, delivering truly engaging blockbusters.
