Global star Robert Pattinson who will star in the much-anticipated movie ‘The Batman’ has recently revealed that even his agent was shocked by the news that the actor would be taking over the role of Bruce Wayne in the movie.
While talking about it, Pattinson shared that he was aiming for quite different stuff. “Obviously it’s basically the jewel in the crown of the parts you can really get as an actor. But I’d never really thought I was anywhere close to doing it, and especially with the other parts I was attracted to at the time,” he said while talking about pursuing the role.
“I just kept obsessively checking up on it for the next year or so,” Pattinson added. “Even my agents were like, ‘Oh, interesting. I thought you only wanted to play total freaks?’ And I was like, ‘He is a freak!'”

‘The Batman’ movie is said to be a film of two hours and 55 minutes. As such, it’s the longest-running time of any solo Batman pic and one of the longest for a theatrical superhero movie, behind rival Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, which ran three hours and one minute on its way to becoming the No. 2 top-grossing film of all time at the global box office, not adjusted for inflation. The movie will open in theaters nationwide on March 4.
