Robert Pattinson Mapped Out Bruce Wayne's Psychology in THE BATMAN Sequels
It was interesting to see the reaction from fans when it was announced that Robert Pattinson would be playing Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman in director Matt Reeves’ The Batman. A lot of people mocked the casting, but I am completely on board! Outside of the Twilight films, Pattinson has made some great films and has delivered some fantastic performances.
I love what I’ve seen of him in the role of Batman so far and I’m convinced he’s going to be awesome. Warner Bros. and DC are committed to this version of Batman and there are already several spinoff shows in development and you can bet there are going to be sequels.
In a recent interview with Empire, The Batman producer Dylan Clark discussed the future of the franchise, saying, "As the first standalone Batman in ten years, the hope is we can lay a foundation that you can build stories upon.” Some of the shows coming include a Gotham City PD series and a Penguin series.
Pattinson and the rest of the creative team are looking forward to continuing this new story for Batman and the actor has already planned ahead. He explained in the interview, "I've made a kind of map for where Bruce's psychology would grow over two more movies. I would love to do it.”
It’s cool to see Pattinson so invested in the character and ready to keep going. It was recently revealed that the director’s vision of Bruce Wayne was inspired by Kurt Cobain. He said:
“When I write, I listen to music, and as I was writing the first act, I put on Nirvana’s ‘Something In The Way’. That’s when it came to me that, rather than make Bruce Wayne the playboy version we’ve seen before, there’s another version who had gone through a great tragedy and become a recluse. So I started making this connection to Gus Van Sant’s Last Days, and the idea of this fictionalised version of Kurt Cobain being in this kind of decaying manor.”
Batman fans have a lot to look forward to seeing when The Batman is released on March 4, 2022.
