'The Batman' Fan Theories with Rob Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano & Jeffrey Wright | Vanity Fair

[@z_stuartoliver]

Paul going "bro read that comic" makes me so proud. just seeing actors geeking out to the source material they originally (presumably) weren't into before they take the roles is soo wholesome and fun

[@80s90sOriginal]

NERD!

[@VMYeahVN]

That's definitely a change i've noticed over the years. Back in like the Tobey McGuire Spiderman era. The actor usually would only read the comic the movie was specifically based on. The research was fairly surface level. He still did a great job and actors can still do a great job in these roles with minimal research (some would actually refuse to read the comics so they could really do their own take), but it's so amazing to see present day actors really DIVE IN head first into the deep end of the comics. Actors always talk about having meaty roles to really sink their teeth into and i'm glad they finally realize the last decade or so that comic book lore is a big fat juicy steak. The versions of the characters they can bring to the screen when they really dig in like that result in a more nuanced take on the characters, as everyone in this cast has shown.

I had my doubts about Pattison because I will always correlate him to that awful vampire movie but I reminded myself we had Afleck as Batman for many years and there couldn’t possibly be anything worse than that.

It was an interesting game

[@Incog2k6]

The fact that Rob really reads all of our comments on all Internet platforms is actually embarrassing, since so many people mocked his casting (not me, I've known that he was a phenomenal actor for years, and Lighthouse was amazing) and even lashed out at him. Yikes. Then again, Rob must have the biggest grin right now, because even his last doubters have been silenced and are eating crow. Touché, Rob.

Paul and Rob just being like "Court of Owls is awesome" just makes my day.

[@yaboytroy357]

I love that you can tell, not just by this video, but in the movie too, that Paul knows his Batman. Riddler has always been so egotistical that he has psychotic breaks when Batman figures out his plans, and always has the notion that “some billionaire in a tower could never outthink me” despite the answer being right in front of his face. Both were very much a part of Dano’s take

[@Ape_PONR]

Why is no one talking about how Jeffrey Wrights voice is the new Morgan freedman voice lol it’s so godly man

[@justinubele523]

Paul looks so kind and sweet. It always makes me sad to see him die in “There Will Be Blood.” He did such an amazing, refreshing job with the Riddler. I’m sure he studied actually sociopaths because he did it so well.

[@SuicidalCatz]

He actually did lol, you know him well ! I saw in an interview that he's read Mindhunter, and a lot about trauma. He also did some research about online forums of incels / toxic masculinity

[@sadchild9478]

You can tell, the way he yells when things go wrong for him make me think the riddler is almost mentally I’ll because of the poor conditions of the orphanage. It was really interesting, and it fits the riddler character well because for him to be obsessed with puzzles he always did this to enjoy something through his awful upbringing. It was actually a new fresh take in a movie, but not one that ruins it. That is very rare to see on movies now.

The funniest part of the video is when Paul Dano and Rob are fanboying over the court of owls and then Zoe’s there just confused about what they’re talking about and is just silent.

[@Nerdyplaneresident]

Rob is the best Batman. Period. What makes it better is how much he knows about the character, which shows in his very comic-accurate portrayal. Also, Paul Dano is also very knowledgeable about his own, and other, character(s). It really shows his passion for the role, which is why it was so good. He is also writing a comic book about Riddler in his early years, so I’m thrilled.

[@faded039]

I love this cast. They genuinely have a close chemistry vibe to them all and it's so awesome.

[@scsutton1]

They could have easily turned their noses up at some of these fan theories, but fair play to Paul, Zoë, Robert and Jeffrey for getting stuck into them.

[@artsyputsy]

I feel like Robert's accent is back to its original thickness, maybe because he had time to be back and stay in London for a long period of times during the pandemic. Or is it just me? And he nailed the batman voice. Never doubted him cause his accent game always been phenomenal imo, I mean the lighthouse, good time, the king.. and the way he said TxC here was so cute.
