Since the release of Empire Magazine, it looks like we may have a few more Rob magazine covers and interviews. I thought I should bundle them all here and will update if and when they become available. Remember you can always catch up on all things The Batman at our dedicated film page.

UPDATED: 27 January 2022

Below are scans of a few pages from Premiere Magazine (France) and Cinema Magazine (German).

Premiere France

I translated two of Rob’s quotes from Premiere France using Google Translate. If anyone can clarify that would be appreciated.

Robert Pattinson “Something spoke to me about this character. And yet, I had never thought about it, I never even auditioned for a superhero movie. I was doing cinema completely the opposite and I was very happy to shoot strange films!

Robert Pattinson: There is this rule in Batman: he must not kill. It can be interpreted in two ways. Either he only wants to inflict the adequate punishment, or he wants to kill and his self-control prevents him from doing so! I considered it like this from the rehearsal of the first fight, I thought it was funnier: something in him just wanted to slit the guy’s throat! I told myself that if he spends his nights chasing criminals, it’s impossible that he doesn’t enjoy it. He is suffering and it is a desire that overwhelms him. And by the force of striking, his mind clears, he calms down, he reaches a state close to satisfaction.

New photo alert! This photo of Rob was featured in Germany’s Deadline magazine that is released today. Now to find out if there are more pics from this photoshoot. Surely they can’t have taken must one photo.

****If you don’t want spoilers then don’t hit “play***

Here’s a slightly clearer version of the new scene which is being shown as a YouTube ad.

UPDATE: Matt Reeves tweets link to The Batman theme song.

We are so so close now. I’m so ready …

The Batman Run Time

Hell yeah ~ fist pumps. The Hollywood Reporter and other media outlets have confirmed the following in relation to the run time for Rob’s The Batman:

Buckle up.

Matt Reeves’ new The Batman movie runs two hours and 55 minutes. The hefty running time includes about eight minutes of credits, insiders at Warner Bros. confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter Thursday.

As such, it’s the longest running time of any solo Batman pic and one of the longest for a theatrical superhero movie behind rival Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, which ran three hours and one minute on its way to becoming the No. 2 top-grossing film of all time at the global box office, not adjusted for inflation.

…

A number of fan sites have been discussing the running time, which was revealed as a result of the movie receiving a PG-13 rating. (Studios must deliver a locked cut of the film to the ratings board.)

A slew of recent movies have a running time longer than two hours and 30 minutes, which automatically shaves off one show a day. One exception is Sony and Marvel’s blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home (2:28) — if only by a margin.

In regards to The Batman, Warners will be able to make up the difference by putting the film on more screens.

…

All official running times include credits.

Deadline exclusively reported that Rob is in talks to star in Bong Joon Ho’s next project for Warner Bros – a film based on the upcoming novel by Edward Ashton “Mickey7”.

EXCLUSIVE: After taking nearly two years to figure out his next project following his Oscar sweep in 2020 with Parasite, director Bong Joon Ho looks to have found his next film and is taking a certain Caped Crusader along for the ride. Sources tell Deadline that Bong is in talks to write and direct an untitled film based on Edward Ashton’s upcoming novel Mickey7 for Warner Bros, and that The Batman star Robert Pattinson is in talks to star. Bong will also produce the untitled film for his production company Offscreen alongside Dooho Choi for Kate Street Picture Company and Plan B.

The book will be published in in the first quarter of 2022 by St. Martin, a Macmillan imprint. While the film will be inspired by the novel, sources say that given Bong’s past experiences with adaptations, his version might ultimately may be different from the novel’s. The novel’s story follows, Mickey7, is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. Whenever there’s a mission that’s too dangerous—even suicidal—the crew turns to Mickey. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his deal…and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it.

Following Parasite’s sweep of the Oscars including a Best Director and Best Picture victory, Bong has taken his time in figuring out his next steps. Towards the end of 2021, he was presented the manuscript for the unpublished book by Ashton, which immediately drew his interest. The Oscar winner became loosely attached to the project late last year and prior to the holiday break met with some of the town’s most promising stars as every A-lister in their 30s was chasing the role. It wasn’t long before Bong and execs were impressed with Pattinson following his meeting and felt he was perfect for the role, with an offer going out right before the new year.
