Robert
Pattinson
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
his
first
Superhero
film
as
Batman.
While
the
actor's
fans
have
been
excited
for
him
to
take
on
the
DC
comic
cape
crusader's
role
in
The
Batman,
his
casting
has
been
a
controversial
one.
The
actor
had
been
filming
for
Matt
Reeves'
The
Batman
since
before
the
pandemic.
During
one
of
the
interviews,
he
had
revealed
that
he
has
not
be
working
out
for
the
role
and
does
not
believe
it
is
necessary
for
Batman's
character.
He
had
said,
"I
think
if
you're
working
out
all
the
time,
you're
part
of
the
problem.
You
set
a
precedent.
No
one
was
doing
this
in
the
'70s.
Even
James
Dean--he
wasn't
exactly
ripped."
The
comment
left
many
fans
of
the
comic
book
character
upset.
In
a
recent
interaction
with
Movie
Maker,
Robert
addressed
that
comment
and
revealed
that
it
was
supposed
to
be
a
joke.
He
said,
"That
really
came
back
to
haunt
me.
I
just
always
think
it's
really
embarrassing
to
talk
about
how
you're
working
out.
I
think
it's
like
an
English
thing.
Unless
you
are
in
the
most
unbelievable
shape,
where
people
are
just
genuinely
curious,
going,
'How
have
you
achieved,
like,
physical
perfection?'
or
whatever."
The
trailer
of
the
upcoming
film
gave
a
glimpse
at
Bruce
Wayne
shirtless,
and
the
actor
can
be
seen
in
perfect
shape.
He
revealed
that
there
is
no
way
one
can
play
Batman
without
working
out.
He
told
the
portal,
"You're
playing
Batman.
You
have
to
work
out."
However,
this
is
not
the
first
time
Robert's
comic
comment
has
followed
him
around.
He
revealed
that
during
the
early
days
of
his
carrer
he
had
joked
he
didn't
wash
his
hair,
and
many
assumed
he
was
serious.
"It
just
sticks
for
15
years," he
told
Movie
Maker.
The
Matt
Reeves
directorial
is
set
to
release
on
March
2.
The
Batman
also
stars
Paul
Dano,
Jeffrey
Wright,
Colin
Farrell,
Zoe
Kravitz,
and
Andy
Serkis.
