Instantly clocked my husband’s response to this query…it’s true though, we are a pro-Pattinson household. Here’s what I think he brought to the role of Bruce Wayne specifically, and I am not kidding when I say it’s an innovation—big T-shirt.
I remember when he was at the tail end of promoting the Twilight movies and seemed so unhappy and run down, I wished for him that he’d get to pivot do a bunch of weird shit after that, and my dream came true 🥹
who else would be delighted by the fact that robert pattinson makes ambient electronic music!!!!! as always i deeply respect your opinion and i do hope to understand him one day..... the sound of big t-shirt really does appeal to me..... i only wish i could remember how big it was
Let's face it, I think this might have something to do with men who play Batman. Go back to 1995 and ask grown men about Val Kilmer.
I think all guys want to go to a party populated entirely with Batman actors. George Clooney would be a great host, Ben Affleck would be the drunken life of the party. Adam West would tell the best jokes, Michael Keaton the best stories, and Christian Bale would be the total braniac. Val Kilmer would be snotty, obnoxious and obtuse in the best ways and he'd leave early. I bet Pattinson would be the Batman with a guitar, and ultimately the nice guy who made sure everyone got home and didn't drive drunk.
as someone who has been a fan of his (if even tangentially) since twilight i have to agree he lost a lot of his allure when he left fka twigs to impregnate maybe the most boring try hard in the world (to me!). it’s fun to play into the ‘he’s such a freak!’ fan groundswell but now i always have an eye on him [derogatory]. any man who’s fanbase goes from girl to boy is not to be trusted.
THANK YOU!!!!! i’m so glad we’re aligned!!! i talk about this constantly… breaking up with twigs and moving on to miss lolita made me suspicious of him and also not as big of a believer in the “he’s a super private guy!” thing that everyone seems to assign to him
i love him i love how he lies in interviews all the time and how he’s so weird and i love his little freak energy and i love how exhausted he seems all the time. and that’s how i feel abt him. seth and i quite liked mickey 17😭
This made me laugh and rethink my entire stance on Pattinson. You nailed it—he’s like if “mystery” was a cologne only guys can smell. The Batman with a guitar who makes sure you get home safe? That’s canon now. Also, “reviled girl actor to revered boy actor” is the kind of cultural reframe I didn’t know I needed but now can’t stop seeing. Brilliant.
