Robert Pattinson The Batman is next evolution of classic characters according to Jeffrey Wright

Jeffrey Wright who, as you know, is portraying Commissioner Gordon in Matt Reeves The Batman recently revealed some interesting tidbits about the film in an interview with SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show. From The Hollywood Reporter:

“My take is — the way I explain what we’re doing is, like with any film, we’re working together to create a mood, to create an idea, a setting, a tone,” Wright said. “This is the next evolution since 1939 when these stories began.”

Added Wright, “This is the next evolution of Gotham. So I am working off the stage [director] Matt [Reeves] is providing and also working off what [star] Robert [Pattinson] is doing. We are trying to create something together that is our own, but is also Batman.” 

The Westworld star said the best example he could point to for what he was trying to explain was the new Batmobile. 

“I read the script for the Batmobile and I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s it,'” he said. “[Bruce Wayne] created the most badass muscle car you could imagine, but it’s grounded in Gotham. It’s grounded in Americana.

The Batman filming is currently on hiatus due to COVID-19, but is scheduled for release on 1 October 2021. Stay up to date with our The Batman Film Page.
