DC FanDome is just over a week away, and we expect Virtual Convention to see some news about Director Matt Reeves‘much anticipated upcoming superhero movie The Batman. But in the meantime, the co-writer of that film has been talking about how the new film deals with the trauma of Bruce Wayne.
In an interview with Den of Geek, The Batman co-author Mattson Tomlin talk about how Robert PattinsonThe version of The Dark Knight will be different from the iterations of Christian Bale or Ben Affleck of the character.
“It’s the early days,” he said. ‘I think it’s primarily a younger version than the last versions we’ve seen. I think Matt Reeves as a filmmaker, if you see any of his work, or not Let me in there of Cloverfield as de Planet of the Apes movies, he always comes from an emotion point. It’s never the big action thing. It is always, what is the soul of this character? I think I’m really looking at Batman as someone who’s been through this trauma, and then all he does is react to that, instead of scaring him off, I think this movie is based on that in some way. fun and surprising ways lies. I think I can say everything without shouting. ‘
In the past, Pattinson has talked about how “Batman is not a hero”, which leads us to ask what his take on this character might be. In another interview, he explained part of the reason he took the role was to place his own specific spin on this legendary character who has been played several times before: ‘You’ve seen this kind of lighter version, you have a kind of seen jaded version, kind of more animalistic version, ”he said. “And the puzzle of it becomes very satisfying, to think: Where is my opening?”
Reeves has previously said that this iteration of Batman / Bruce Wayne “will struggle a lot”, and Tomlin’s comments seem to hammer home the idea that this could be a much rougher, and potentially even more unhinged version of the character than we were before. seen. So far, I think Michael Keaton might be holding the crown in terms of portraying the character as a bit dirty. (Wayne of Val Kilmer regularly questioned his own trauma, but was more sensitive about it than Keaton’s manic performance.) But it sounds certain that Pattinson could give him a run for his money in The Batman, and we’ll find out when the movie arrives in theaters (maybe?) on 1 October, 2021.
