Pattinson talks about starring in "Batman": Series movies are never made for money

Robert Pattinson recently accepted an interview with Entertainment Weekly. In addition to promoting his already released "The Lighthouse", he also talked about why he finally agreed to join the new "Batman" directed by Matt Reeves ("Dawn of the Planet of the Apes").

First of all, this is because the Batman series has never been made for the purpose of selling toys and making money. "Something has always attracted me. I think outside of the Batman movies, Batman movies always attract very, very good directors and actors. It has a tradition and bloodline... In my opinion, it has never fallen into the money. I don't think they make movies just to sell peripherals."

Pattinson joins a long line of famous actors who have played Batman over the years, including Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Ben Affleck, all of whom have considerable influence in Hollywood.

In the interview, Pattinson said that his favorite film was director Tim Burton's Batman (1989), and he also admired the Batman TV series from the 1960s.

The new version of "Batman" and the new work "Tenet" by famous director Christopher Nolan belong to Warner Bros. Pattinson also learned on the first day of filming for the latter that he was invited to join the new "Batman" series. The new "Batman" has now started shooting and is scheduled to be released on June 25, 2021.
