Remember back during Covid and Robert Pattinson did an interview during the shutdown while filming THE BATMAN?  And he talked about barely working out (Bosu Ball and a small dumbbell) and how much he hated exercising?

Yeah, that was him doing a bit.

Most of y’all reading this knew that, but there’s still a very small minority of fans still melting down over it 6 years later.


The article continues after the jump!

To ease everyone’s mind, Pattinson said (via an interview with GQ) that yes, he’s working out for THE BATMAN PART II and even has a home gym so…wait for it…he can work out to play Batman! “I worked out every fucking day [for THE BATMAN]”, said RP. Even after that, I still look like I didn’t work out. I worked out twice a day at, like, three o’clock in the morning.” Despite the fact he’s a notorious troll and loves F’ing with people, why then, did he say that working out wasn’t “cool back in 2020? “I was trying to sound cool!”

Also, during the interview, he said his stuntman informed him that filming on THE BATMAN PART II includes 11 weeks of night shoots.

That means he’ll have 11 weeks to do extra workouts during the day with the Bosu Ball and small dumbbell.

Batman fandom can rest easy. – 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. 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.
