Robert Pattinson’s Sneaky ‘The Batman’ Audition Story

“It’s funny because Chris is so secretive about everything to do with his movies,” Pattinson said, adding: “And then I had to be really secretive about Batman stuff. So I had to lie to Chris about having to go for a screen test a” I said I had a family emergency. And as soon as I said ‘it’s a family emergency’ he said: “You’re doing the Batman audition, aren’t you?'”

Nolan is known for putting his own spin on Batman with the Dark Knight trilogy.

Pattinson credits Tenet for helping him get in shape for the role of the caped crusader.

“When I’m running on screen I’m generally paired with John David (Washington) who is an ex-NFL player so it was the most unfair thing in the world. The maximum workout I do most of the time is a casual stroll. John David can run all day long. It was good that I ended up being pretty fit. But definitely, at the beginning, there were days I just could not walk afterwards,” Pattinson said.
