Robert Pattinson Shares A New Update On The Batman 2 & Reveals An Overlooked Problem With The Batsuit: “It’s Kind Of Strange”

As The Batman 2 is eying filming later this year, Robert Pattinson shares a new update about the DC sequel while also expanding on his experience with Batsuits.

In a new interview with Esquire, Pattinson spoke briefly about his ongoing journey with Batman, including his experience when he had to audition for the lead role in Reeves’ first movie. Pattinson also gave a new update about The Batman 2, as he stated the following:

Esquire: Are there scents you associate with characters you’ve played?

Robert Pattinson: Definitely the scent of the cowl, with Batman – very much.

Esquire: What does that smell of?

Robert Pattinson: Well, it’s leather. But it’s also a combination – because you’re sealed in a leather mask, but you’re also extremely anxious all the time. And leather is porous, so it really takes on an emotional scent. When I did the audition for Batman I had to try on all the different cowls [from actors who’d played the role]. Even from 20 years ago, they all still had the scent of each individual actor. It’s kind of strange.

Esquire: Will Batman smell differently in The Batman: Part II?

Robert Pattinson: I hope so!

Esquire: Can you give us a word to describe it at this point?

Robert Pattinson: I haven’t seen anything yet, so I have no idea. But I think maybe… a little more iris?
