Earlier, Robert Pattinson spoke to Variety about The Batman and said, “I really like Matt Revees. It (the upcoming Batman film) is something from the comics that hasn’t been explored yet. It’s kind of crazy shoes to fill. It’s interesting the different directions you can take with it, I was obsessed when I was a kid. It’s going to be very very daunting (to portray the character).”

Matt Reeves took on the direction of the Batman film after Ben Affleck left the project. He was earlier supposed to play the caped crusader as well as direct the film.

The Batman is slated for June 2021 release.
