Robert Pattinson addresses physique criticism in 'The Batman,' intensifies training for sequel

Robert Pattinson is gearing up for his return as Batman in "The Batman: Part 2," but not without reflecting on the critiques he faced regarding his physical appearance in the first installment.

During an interview with GQ magazine, the British actor addressed comments suggesting he hadn't trained sufficiently for his role as the Caped Crusader in the 2022 film. "Everyone was saying, 'You didn't train at all.' I trained every damn day," Pattinson recalled with a touch of humor. He elaborated that he exercised twice daily, often starting as early as 3 a.m., despite the perception that his efforts were insufficient.

To prepare for the sequel, slated for an October 2027 release, Pattinson has taken a proactive approach by setting up a home gym. This dedicated space will help him intensify his training regimen as he prepares to embody the iconic DC Comics superhero once more. The film will be directed by Matt Reeves, with Pattinson, Sebastian Stan, and Scarlett Johansson reportedly in the cast.

Pattinson mentioned that while he has been informed about the film's extensive night shooting schedule, he has not yet received a detailed filming calendar. "I heard the stunt guy the other day. He said, 'Eleven weeks of nights.' And I thought, 'Excuse me?' Nobody has sent me a schedule yet," he commented. Currently, Pattinson is also involved in other projects, including Christopher Nolan's upcoming film "La Odisea," set for a July 2026 release, where he stars alongside Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland.
