Robert Pattinson reveals the controversial suit that he had to try on in The Batman, the Matt Reeves movie that opens on March 4.
batman has earned to be one of the films of DC Comics most anticipated of all time. The film of Matt Reeves, made by Robert Pattinson, should have been released last year, after four years of hard work. However, the social and health crisis caused by the coronavirus forced Warner Bros. Pictures to delay its release. We are talking about a film that will not be released simultaneously in hbo max and in theaters, as usual. As has happened with Suicide Squad or Matrix Resurrections, to give two very clear examples.
George Clooney’s suit was used in the camera test
However, today we are going to talk about curious facts about the movie. Has Pattinson recently spoken with the Japanese publication Eiga and there he has revealed how his screen test went. That is, when he was finally confirmed as the new Dark Knight. An experience that was not particularly pleasant, really. This has been explained by Robert Pattinson, the protagonist of batman:
«I think the suit in the screen test was George Clooney’s. It looked great, but it felt like a nightmare. I couldn’t move. I was sweating all the time and was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to do anything with a suit on. My suit is not only cool, it’s incredibly well designed. Even if I play a fight scene with a lot of action and movement, I am able to move freely.«.
So the suit he wore in the camera tests of batman was the one of George Clooney, the one we saw in the reviled batman and robin (1997) of Joel Schumacher. This controversial outfit:
This contradicts the statements of Matt Reeves last year, who on IGN explained the following: «Robert Pattinson was literally wearing Val Kilmer’s bat suit. Which, by the way, was a crazy moment«. This would mean that he wore the suit of batmanforever (1995), which cannot be, since they are two different suits. Be that as it may, they used one of Schumacher’s stage costumes.
