Robert Pattinson Insists He Worked Out Every Day for The Batman, Blames Lukewarm Reception to His Superhero Body on Comments He Made in Interviews

Pattinson said he installed a home gym and trained twice a day after some fans criticized his Batman physique.

  • Actor Robert Pattinson revealed he installed a home gym to build muscle for The Batman: Part II, which hits theaters on October 1, 2027, five-and-a-half years after the first film.
  • Fans previously criticized Pattinson's physique in 2022's The Batman, a reception the actor blamed on past interviews where he called exercise 'uncool' and claimed he wasn't taking the role seriously.
  • Defending his preparation, Pattinson insisted he exercised twice daily at 3 a.m. for the first film, telling GQ magazine, 'I worked out every fucking day,' despite the unfair reputation.
  • Training for the sequel may be easier than his experience on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which Pattinson described as one of his most exhausting sets ever worked on.
  • Director Matt Reeves recently teased production by sharing a photo of the Batmobile racing down a snowy street, while Pattinson noted a stunt performer mentioned '11 weeks of nights' for filming.
