Actors must adjust to the ever-changing Hollywood landscape or risk becoming forgotten. Once largely recognized as the sullen vampire from Twilight, Robert Pattinson has defied expectations by taking on challenging, unusual roles. But despite his varied career, Batman is still his favorite character. Pattinson is excited to put on the cape once more after thoroughly immersing himself in Gotham's sinister universe. He recently expressed his enthusiasm for The Batman Part II, reflecting upon his unusual anxiety.

Anxiety spares no one—no matter your status, even if you are Batman. As anticipation builds for The Batman Part II, Robert Pattinson’s latest revelation offers a glimpse into his desperation for the sequel.

Robert Pattinson did not hold back when he expressed his eagerness to start filming The Batman Part II, admitting he was growing impatient as production remains on hold. Frustrated by the delay, he made it clear that he cannot wait for the sequel to move forward. With his signature humor, he added, "I started out as young Batman & I’m going to be ----ing old Batman" before it finally comes to life, as reported by Naomi Ackie in Hero Magazine.

Pattinson recently revealed that he is aware of The Batman Part II's storyline and expressed enthusiasm for the sequel. In a recent interview, he shared insights into his discussions with director Matt Reeves, who has been refining the script despite ongoing delays. Co-star Andy Serkis, who portrays Alfred, also hinted at the plot. Barry Keoghan briefly appeared as the Joker in The Batman and is expected to return for the sequel, set for an October 1, 2027 release. The film will exist separately from James Gunn’s evolving DCU.

Still, as Gotham’s darkness looms over the ever-changing city, one vigilante stands unchanged—Robert Pattinson’s Batman has received his ultimate fate.

As reported by IGN, DC Studios leaders James Gunn and Peter Safran have officially stated that Robert Pattinson’s Batman will remain outside the DCU. “We love him, but we have got to introduce a Batman into the DCU,” Safran clarified, signaling a fresh direction. While Matt Reeves’ Gotham exists independently, the DCU is actively seeking a different Dark Knight to lead its growing franchise.

Although rumors suggested Robert Pattinson might transition into the DCU’s Batman, it is now clear that his version will remain independent. With DC seeking a fresh face for the role, speculation has turned to potential candidates. Among them, Jensen Ackles stands out, given his history voicing Batman and his enthusiasm for bringing the character to life in live action.
