Fans of the Dark Knight are beginning to compare the performance of Robert Pattinson from Batman with that of his predecessor Christian Bale. Batman Begins from 2005 is the first part of the Christopher Nolan trilogy, followed by The Dark Knight from 2008 and The Dark Knight Rises from 2012. The time between Robert Pattinson and Christian Bale brought us the cloak cruiser of Ben Affleck, but Batman is the first solo film since Bale put on the costume. That’s why fans began to compare Pattinson and Bale, especially with Batman, who is now in theaters around the world.
Bale already has the upper hand with three appearances as Batman, although there is already talk of spinoffs and sequels to Batman. If Pattinson had a vote, he would have gone to the Court of Owls as his antagonists for his DC film. “I definitely thought the Court of Owls would probably be in the sequel,” Pattinson told Vanity Fair as he discussed the sequel. “It definitely looks like… I mean, I literally just guess, I just keep saying it.”
As for the spinophs, one will focus on Colin Farrell’s Penguin. Instead of focusing on Penguin, director Matt Reeves revealed how Warner Bros. enjoyed it so much that they turned it into a series for HBO Max. “And they said, ‘Oh, we want to do this as a show,'” Reeves told Variety. The director will not jump directly into the development of any follow-up, but will choose the much-needed rest.
“He spent five years from conception to completion,” Pattinson said. “It’s very, very, very unanimous – well, a project, I guess. Until that came out, I doubt he was still thinking about the next steps. Or maybe it is, but I didn’t say so. “
Fans may be trying to form a rivalry between Batman’s actors, but behind the scenes there seems to be mutual respect. Bale told his heirs, Robert Pattinson and Ben Affleck, to make sure their bat costumes had zippers.
“Wait, this happened to [Affleck], too? This is crazy, “Pattinson told Bale’s council on bathroom access in an interview with BBC Radio 1. It’s just like Christian telling people,” I have to [have a zipper]. ‘ Christian has obviously had a lot of accidents, he is very worried about that (laughs).
