Christopher Nolan on Pattinson as Batman: “I Could Not Be More Excited”

3096

While doing press for his new film TENET (Which I saw this past weekend and still digesting — it’s crazy good!), Christopher Nolan talked a bit about Robert Pattinson as Batman.  “I could not be more excited to see what he [Rob Pattinson] does with Batman,” the director said.

Nolan is pretty darn familiar with both Batman and Pattinson as he wrote/directed THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY and cast Pattinson in the aforementioned TENET.  In fact, Nolan talks a bit about Batman and Pattinson in general in the interview.  Check it out below. – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
