With each new incarnation of Batman We are always very aware of what the Dark Knight’s suit will be like in the new movie that plays. With ‘The Batman’ and Robert Pattinson It has not been for less, and although the result on screen has been spectacular, shooting with it on caused some unexpected difficulties during the production of the film.
Restricted movements and little subtlety
In a movie like ‘The Batman’, the normal thing would be to think that the most action-packed scenes are the ones that would take the most time and shots to shoot. Interestingly, for Matt Reeves and his team, it was one of the moments that should have been easier within the production.
Pattinson’s Batman suit looks impressive in the film, but it was apparently very restrictive and made it very difficult for him to move. Moving his arms, especially if he needed to make relatively subtle movements, was quite a challenge for the actor and overcomplicated a relatively simple scene that was to be shot on Enigma’s floor.
During the investigation, the police and Batman finally arrive at Edward Nashton/Riddler’s apartment and discover a new lead. In this scene, Batman opens the door of a cage where there is a bat and grabs a letter addressed to him. Now we know that the care and parsimony with which he moves in this scene is not only because of Bruce Wayne’s fear of bats, it is that Pattinson had a hard time moving in his suit.
“With the suit you can only move your arm in a certain way. So if you’re at the wrong angle and you have to do a little bit delicate movements… getting that out of the cage was impossible, it took us a million takes,” he said the actor to Cinema Blend.
Not only was her free movement of her arms restricted, she was also unable to move her neck or turn her head easily, and maintaining certain postures could be very painful.
“There are simple things that you just can’t do… With the suit, for example, it was very difficult to look up. You just can’t do it, and you try to stay in that position, which was torture,” Pattinson explained to Sensacine. .
