Comicbook.com interviewed Jeffrey Wright and snuck in a question about The Batman. Below is an excerpt of what Jeffrey said about Rob, but you should listen to the whole segment below
I’m really excited for people to see what [Rob] does with this. He creates 3 kinds of distinct people – there’s Rob, there’s Bruce Wayne and there’s The Batman…they’re each distinct – it’s really cool
Jeffrey also spoke to The Hollywood Reporter and this is what he had to say about The Batman as a whole:
Can you spare a few adjectives that describe the experience of playing that character in The Batman?
It was gothic. It was sleuthful if that’s a word. It was mysterious, and it was tricky. It was tricky because of the conditions that we were working in. It was isolating for those of us who were away from home, out of the country, over in London. I experienced more quarantines than I would wish on anyone, going back and forth over the last six months. So it was a pretty dogged one to try to pull off. We were working in the teeth of the outbreak, and we were trying to protect ourselves, one another and the production. So it took a lot. But what I will say about it too is that it was really gratifying because we all unified around that purpose of doing our jobs, making this film, protecting one another, and getting through it together. And we did. I think we made a brilliant movie, and we did it as a collective that came together as one. I wish we would do a bit more of that in this country right now to get through this thing. But at the very least, I know we did it on that film set, so I know it can be done if the will is there.

Jeffrey talks as though Rob himself will be a distinct character in the movie. Now THAT’s just what we need : a movie where Rob plays 3 characters LOL
