Robert Pattinson can't wait to shock fans by completely "messing up" The Batman.

He opened up that he's not intimidated to play such a well known character but relishes the fact he "can mess it up".

Pattinson referred to his experience filming the box office smash franchise the Twilight saga.

"There's a slightly different feeling when you know loads and loads of people are going to watch something you're working on," he told Total Film.

"I weirdly enjoyed it during Twilight, the idea that you can mess it up. I guess I felt confident. I wanted to be on the big stage."

Director Matt Reeves told the mag his Batman film will be "totally different" to other Caped Crusader movies.

"It's not an origin tale, and you're meeting him in the early days," he said.

"And for me, what's really important about this iteration is that you know a lot of the other stories are about how he had to master his fear and master himself in order to become Batman. And that in that Batman state, he's sort of in his best self."

Reeves added: "I hope what's different about what we're doing is try and do it in exactly that sort of manner and then, of course, the other things that are from the earlier history of the context of him being the world's greatest detective and how we got there."

Viewers were also left stunned to see Colin Farrell looking utterly unrecognizable after gaining weight and covered in prosthetics to play The Penguin.

Shooting on the film resumed after Pattinson was cleared to put on the cape and cowl again after his rumored positive COVID-19 test brought production on the comic book movie to a standstill.

“Following a hiatus for Covid-19 quarantine precautions, filming has now resumed on The Batman in the U.K.,” a Warner Bros. Pictures spokesperson said.

Production had to be halted at the start of the month after it emerged that a member of the cast and crew had tested positive for coronavirus.
