Robert Pattinson says he “would love” to do his own Batman trilogy
The actor stars in March's The Batman, which was planned as a standalone film

There’s at least one person in the world who doesn’t have sequel fatigue: Robert Pattinson. Though his upcoming film The Batman, where he’ll take on the iconic role as the Caped Crusader, was planned as a standalone film, Pattinson said that he “would love” to make it a trilogy.
Speaking to Empire, the Twilight star said, “I’ve made a kind of map for where Bruce’s psychology would grow over two more movies. I would love to do it.”
The film, directed by Matt Reeves, is the first standalone Batman flick since The Dark Knight Rises in 2012. Ben Affleck’s recent outings as Bruce Wayne only happened in 2016's Batman vs. Superman: Dawn Of Justice and 2017's (and 2021's) The Justice League, where he had to share the spotlight with Henry Cavill’s Superman and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman.
Just because there’s no official sequel planned, though, doesn’t mean there are no plans for any of the characters in Reeves’ film. “As the first standalone Batman in ten years, the hope is we can lay a foundation that you can build stories upon,” producer Dylan Clark told Empire.
HBO Max has a host of Batman-esque spin-offs in development, including one set at Gotham PD and one reportedly involving Colin Farrell’s Penguin.
Reeves’ The Batman will also introduce Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Paul Dano as the Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham’s district attorney. Reeves’ co-wrote the screenplay for the film with Peter Craig.
Reeves told Empire he’s keeping his eyes on this one movie for now. “I’ve only ever made each movie as a passion project,” he said. “This even more so, because when you know something has been done well before, and is so beloved, you can’t just come in and sleepwalk through it. You have to shoot for something. We’re trying to leave our mark on this.”
The Batman is set to be released March 4, 2022.

I bet he would, he’d make a buttload of cash for it AND get to be Batman!
Imagine how many pantaloons one could buy!
Assuredly one could purchase a good, healthy number of fine pantaloons with the lucre from Batman films!
A propitious passel of pantaloons!
Precisely!
Holy lascivious legwear, Batman!
Every movie is a standalone film until it makes shitloads of money and the studio demands 2 more. Unless it’s The Hobbit.
Every time I see the trailer for this, it comes off like a student film rip off of the Nolan movies. Especially the interrogation scene where he yells something that’s totally unintelligible. It’s like something someone would upload to YouTube.
Not to mention the dialogue:“you really are everything they say”“maybe we’re not so different”“who are you under there”
“We are the same, you an I.”
We be of the same blood, ye and I
“Kick the tires and light the fires, Big Daddy!”
“I want some butts!”
Try telling that to Twitter, which is going ga-ga over the film, already calling it one of the greatest movies, comic book or no, ever made. It’s even gotten to the point where TV Tropes refuses to allow any trope listings describing people not super hyped for the film, since Twitter is all they check out.
That must really bother you for some sad, lonely, pathetic reason.
Christopher Nolan is definitely well-known for his intelligible dialogue
I’m gonna it “cheap Batman” with not-fully-fleshed-yet villains. And shot in the dark.
Want to try that again in English?
So, have you simply never seen a Nolan Batman film?
No Batman is a bat…island, Robert. It takes a village to make a man a Batman.
Can playing a mopey goth superhero be too different from playing a mopey vampire?
And he will, if the Bookworm and Egg-Head have anything to say about it.
I’d like to see at least one dark and moody live-action Batman film that uses King Tut or Egghead as the primary villain and treats them as seriously as possible with zero winking at the audience.It would probably bomb, but I’d be amused for a couple of hours and for that reason, I think WB should consider it.
Batman will be broken, his allies left bleeding and Gotham will be ashes when he faces…Condiment King!

“I relish the thought of defeating you, BatFOOL!
I too wish to be well payed to be an ultra popular superhero in multiple movies.
I “would love” to do my own Batman trilogy too Mr. Pattinson, but we can’t always get what we want.
You know that he’s actually a professional actor who was cast as Batman by a company that definitely cast him with the intention of having him do more than one movie right?
What I want more than anything in the world is.. 10 million dollars
I thought all movies are planned as trilogies these days
Can’t tell you how super excited I am for the Macbeth trilogy.
The Scottish Trilogy
Really looking forward to the The Return of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
So in Hamlet III, the king returns as a force ghost and Ewoks. I don’t know how yet, but there’s going to be Ewoks.
