Before Robert Pattinson and Christian Bale, George Clooney took on the iconic role of Batman and gave it his own legendary touch. Robert Pattinson has now been given the opportunity to step into the caped crusader’s shoes in the upcoming 2022 film, The Batman. The actor looked absolutely stunning in the new bat suit. However, during his audition for the role, he revealed that he actually tried on George Clooney’s old Batman costume and couldn’t help but notice the suit adorned with nipples. He also gave the Val Kilmer suit a try. Keep reading to find out what really happened.
Robert Pattinson received praise from both the audience and critics for his portrayal of Batman in the 2022 movie. Directed by Matt Reeves, the film went on to earn a whopping $771 million, surpassing its $200 million budget.
Regarding Robert Pattinson auditioning for Batman in George Clooney’s old costume, the actor shared, “Because, I had done the audition in I think it was George Clooney’s one and it was incredibly difficult to move in. You had to choose the suit by the size of your head and I think my head was about the closest to Clooney’s head.” Pattinson continued, “It’s locked [your head] and you’re boiling hot. Like absolutely boiling. If you have any lights on you, you’re just pouring sweat. You’re also doing an audition, so I’m kind of terrified anyway.”
The Twilight star further explained, “People are saying, ‘What can we do about this sweat?’ You’re thinking, Like if I don’t stop sweating, you’re not going to get the part.’ So, you’re trying to shut down your body a little bit.”
Robert Pattinson then went on to mention that he couldn’t help but notice that the nipples in Clooney’s Batman suit were more prominent. “It is the one [with nipples]. But then I keep getting confused. I think there might be two nipple suits. One has more prominent nipples. I think the Val Kilmer suit, there might be some nipples as well.”
In a previous interview, Pattinson revealed how he once tried to fool Tenet director Christopher Nolan by claiming to have a family emergency when he had to go and audition for The Batman. “I said I had a family emergency. And as soon as I said ‘it’s a family emergency’ he said, ‘You’re doing the Batman audition, aren’t you?’
