In an interview with Access Hollywood, Pattinson reveals that Willem Dafoeโ€˜s performance in The Lighthouse (in which Robert co-stars) may actually be the inspiration for what his Batman voice will sound like:

โ€œWillemโ€™s voice in this is quite inspiring for it to be honest. It is pretty similar to the voice Iโ€™m gonna doโ€ฆ I think Batman has a sort of pirate-y kind of voiceโ€ฆโ€

That works for me.

As for the Batsuit, Pattinson revealed that he hasnโ€™t cast his eyes upon the final version of his new Batsuit, but he has heard some interesting notions coming from director Matt Reeves.

โ€œMatt has got a really awesome idea about it,โ€ he confessed. โ€œI think this thing is going to be very, very cool.โ€

Pattinson also admitted that heโ€™s been more into exercising lately after the interviewer brought up how he didnโ€™t use to like it.

โ€œI didnโ€™t when I was younger, but now, as Iโ€™ve kind of gotten older Iโ€™m suddenly getting aware of aging,โ€ he said. โ€œSo now Iโ€™m kind of like, I need to put some effort in otherwise Iโ€™m gonna need a hip replacement.โ€

Robert is super excited the Zoe Kravitz will be playing Catwoman. He told Entertainment Tonight: โ€œYes! Zoeโ€™s great and Iโ€™ve known her for years and years and years. I mean, Iโ€™ve been friends with her for like ten years and sheโ€™s brilliant.โ€
