The Hollywood Reporter has revealed new details about Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne in The Batman.
Earlier this week, The Batman director Matt Reeves officially confirmed that Robert Pattinson has been cast the Caped Crusader. At 33, Pattinson will become the second-youngest actor to ever play Bruce Wayne on the big screen after Christian Bale, who was 31 when the first installment of the Dark Knight trilogy opened in theaters in 2005.
Today, The Hollywood Reporter published a piece revealing how Robert Pattinson became Batman. The piece mentions that Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne will be “around 30 years old” in The Batman, explaining why Reeves wanted the 33-year-old actor.
“He is written as around 30 years old, and the story is neither another rehashing of his origin nor the tale of a seasoned crimefighter ruling Gotham City. He is Bruce Wayne still trying to find his footing on his way to becoming the genius detective.”
Former Bruce Wayne Ben Affleck was originally set to write and direct The Batman. He eventually stepped down and handed the duties to Matt Reeves, who’s been attached to the movie since February 2017. Nearly a year later, Ben Affleck revealed that he had decided to hang up the cape and cowl, allowing Reeves to look for a younger Batman.
Plot details for The Batman project are currently under wraps. It’s said to revolve around a young Bruce Wayne and Matt Reeves has previously confirmed that it will not be directly based on Frank Miller’s Year One comic.
Matt Reeves’ The Batman is one of many projects currently being developed by Warner Bros. and DC. The list also includes a Flash standalone film, Green Lantern Corps, Black Adam, The Suicide Squad, Nightwing, Supergirl, Plastic Man and New Gods.
The Batman is set to open in theaters on June 25, 2021. Stay tuned for the latest news on the project.
