Robert Pattinson will be taking the role of Bruce Wayne in the next The Batman movie, and new promotional photos show his lean physique. However, as the production is currently put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the nationwide lockdown, and the quarantine orders, the 33-year-old star has to stay at home and is, reportedly, having a hard time to maintain his weight and keep his shape.
As Batman is known to be physically fit, the famed Twilight star has to be full-bodied as well. However, with the stay-at-home order, he allegedly finds it hard to stick to his diet and fitness routine.
"Rob is so ready to get back on The Batman set because he has gotten in the best shape of his life for it, but it has been difficult," a source told Hollywood Life. "It's really something he has had to get used to, eating differently and remaining fit for the role and the suit."
Although it may be quite demanding for Robert Pattinson to play this role, it will surely be a game-changer for him. He has accomplished a lot in acting and done a lot to improve himself, but the insider added that he is now in "rarefied air."
Not everyone has been given a chance to play Batman. Hence, it is a big test for The Lighthouse star to take things seriously to prove he is worth it. He may also want to let the fans enjoy his stake.
Even though keeping in shape in this time of crisis is quite a hard feat, it will be all worth it for him in the long run. Anyhow, Robert Pattinson is said to be doing everything to maintain his good physique by working out several hours a day with his personal trainer online.
In fact, according to Heroic Hollywood, Suki Waterhouse's boyfriend was seen jogging to stay physically fit. Surely, he has to maintain his lean body after new photos of The Batman emerged, giving a glimpse of his new role. His appearance is said to be in contrast from the other actors who played the same character in the past, like Ben Affleck, who looked relatively bulkier.
Meanwhile, Matt Reeves' take of The Batman is shrouded in deep secret. The movie's plot is yet to be revealed, but there are rumors that it will feature a younger Bruce Wayne and a group of villains, including Catwoman, The Penguin, and The Riddler.
After the Caped Crusader's formative years as Gotham City's protector, The Batman will also explore his capability as a detective to a greater extent compared to other Batman movies. Matt Reeve's adaptation of the superhero film is expected to be the first of the trilogy with Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne.
