The masked vigilante faces a villain who is decimating Gotham's corrupt notables.
Robert Pattinson surprises with the darkness of his interpretation in "The Batman".
He is astonishing opposite Zoë Kravitz in this neopolar which renews the franchise.
Never has Gotham's masked vigilante been darker than in
Matt Reeves'
The Batman .
Robert Pattinson would almost pass the incarnation of Christian Bale in Christopher Nolan for that of a friendly dilettante.
The former star of the
Twilight
saga blackens the DC hero as Joaquin Phoenix did for
Joker
by Todd Phillips.
"I was blown away by the intensity of Robert Pattinson's performance," Matt Reeves told
20 Minutes
.
I had already been amazed by his performances with David Cronenberg or Claire Denis, but especially in
Good Time
by the Safdie brothers where he achieved an incredible mix of violence and vulnerability.
He went even further in my film.
More human than ever, the hero must face a terrorist who attacks the corrupt notables of the city in a suspense closer to neo-polars like
Seven
by David Fincher than to the previous opuses of his adventures.
Something to renew the franchise.
Under the hood
“The characters in the film are realistic, insists Matt Reeves.
It was an important point for me to reveal their flaws.
Everyone must face their demons.
Paul Dano, Andy Serkis and Colin Farrell complete a high quality cast in which Zoë Kravitz particularly impresses in Catwoman.
Batman, himself, is more tortured than ever when he has to deal with a surprising and painful family past.
“It was not easy for Robert Pattinson to pass all these complex feelings under the hood, remembers Matt Reeves.
We only see his eyes and his mouth but he manages to communicate the despair of his character addicted to his role of vigilante.
He was always afraid of doing too much, but I pushed him hard so that the viewer could share his discomfort.

The actor also suffered physically under his very restrictive costume which made the slightest movement painful.
“Even when he had to do things as simple as kneeling down to search the glove compartment of a car, he drooled,” says Matt Reeves.
Being Batman is an inconvenient way to fight crime.
But Robert Pattinson seems to have taken a liking to this discomfort.
"He consoled himself every time he saw his costumed figure in a mirror," says Matt Reeves.
He told me he had fun playing Batman.
“To the point of returning for a sequel that the end of
The Batman
gives hope?
The future and the box office will tell.
