“You can’t wear a cowl and not wear that,” Reeves said. “All of the Batmen wear that. I just loved the idea of taking off [the mask] and under that there’s the sweating and the dripping and the whole theatricality of becoming this character.”
Reeves also commented on the initial backlash that hit social media after Robert Pattinson was announced as his Bruce Wayne/Batman.

It was one of Pattinson’s post-“Twilight” indie movies that sold Reeves on casting the actor in “The Batman.” One watch of the Safdie Brothers’ “Good Time” is all the convincing Reeves needed. Pattinson stars in “Good Time” as a desperate criminal trying to free his brother from jail. “In the process of writing the movie, I watched ‘Good Time,’ and I thought, ‘Okay, he’s got an inner kind of rage that connects with this character and a dangerousness, and I can feel this desperation.’ And I became dead-set on it being Rob,” Reeves said. “And I had no idea if Rob had any interest! Because, of course, he had done all of these indie movies after he established himself in Twilight.
