The British hunk, 35, is playing the comic book character
for the first time in “The Batman,” and is sending fans into a frenzy after
stripping down in a new trailer for the forthcoming live action flick.
Released on Monday, the sneak peek shows the star shedding
his batsuit to reveal his ripped physique.
Pattinson’s Batman is also seen cozying up to Zoë Kravitz,
who is set to star as Catwoman.
In the trailer, the crime-fighting couple fall in love as
they pursue a Gotham City serial killer nicknamed “The Riddler.”
“If we don’t stand up, no one will,” Kravitz’s character
tells Batman, as she gazes adoringly into his eyes.
The actors have strong on-screen chemistry in the trailer,
with their characters later seen flirting with one another.
“You have a lot of cats,” Batman remarks as he enters
Catwoman’s feline-filled apartment.
“I have a thing for strays,” Kravitz’s character seductively
purrs in response, referencing the fact that Batman is an orphan.
Fans flocked to YouTube to post gushing comments about
Pattinson’s portrayal beneath the trailer.
“So excited to see Robert coming back to mainstream cinema.
This movie is going to be awesome,” one fan cooed.
“Will be one of the best Batman movies ever. And Robert
Pattinson will surprise everyone. Cinematography looks incredible,” another
remarked of the film directed by Matt Reeves
Meanwhile, Reeves revealed last week that he was inspired by
the late musician Kurt Cobain when writing the film.
“When I write, I listen to music, and as I was writing the
first act, I put on Nirvana’s ‘Something in the Way,’ ” Reeves, 55, told
Empire. “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.”
It’s been more than two years since Pattinson’s Batman
casting was announced, and production has come along in fits and starts since
March 2020 as pandemic health restrictions put the squeeze on Hollywood.
In August of that year, cast and crew were again sent home —
or, more likely, back to their quarantine hotels — from Warner Bros. Studios
Leavesden in the United Kingdom for two weeks after their leading man tested
positive for COVID-19.
“The Batman” is now slated to hit cinemas on March 4.
