Vi har vidst lige fra starten af, at The Batman, den kommende film med Matt Reeves som instruktør, og med Robert Pattinson som den ikoniske karakter, ville udforske nogle andre dele af karakterens mytos, mere specifikt de mere mørkere afkroge af universet.
Dette slår Pattinson også fast i et nyt interview med New York Times, hvor han siger at netop det spændende ved Batman er at han ikke er nogen helt, og at hans moralske kompas er lidt "off".
"Batman's not a hero, though. He's a complicated character. I don't think I could ever play a real hero — there's always got to be something a little bit wrong. I think it's because one of my eyes is smaller than the other one."
"[Batman's] morality is a little bit off. He's not the golden boy, unlike almost every other comic-book character. There is a simplicity to his worldview, but where it sits is strange, which allows you to have more scope with the character."
The Batman ankommer i løbet af sommeren 2021.
