Robert Pattinson opened up about the pressure of TheBatman’s legacy at the film’s glitzy world premiere: “I didn’t want to f—k it up.”
“I really didn’t do anything else for years because my commitment has only been to” said Pattinson at the film’s premiere at Lincoln Center, marking the return of extravagant Hollywood red-carpet events with screaming fans. “And after filming, it was so heavy. I hadn’t literally seen the sun in 18 months. I could barely walk for months.
When news broke in 2019 that Pattinson would be playing the role, backlash erupted on social media. Fervent fans criticized Pattinson’s lean physique and even created petitions on Change.org asking the studio to reconsider the casting. “Yes, I did hear about the backlash,” Pattinson admitted on the red carpet. “So many people connect with the character on such a deep level. I could understand why people would be upset. With a character like this, everybody knows it’s highly competitive, and everyone is going to judge me before the film is released and afterwards. Everyone who has played the part has had a massive and such an incredible legacy, so everyone is interested to see how I’m going to do it.
