When you think of Batman, you also think of a deep, gruff voice. Robert Pattinson wanted to break with this tradition in “The Batman”.

The comic character Batman is not only known for his bat costume, but also for his deep voice for many years. At least that’s how the last two Batman actors Christian Bale (48) and Ben Affleck (49) interpreted their role. Colleague Robert Pattinson (35), who will embody the Dark Knight in the upcoming film “The Batman” (from March 3 in cinemas), wanted to break with this tradition.

In an interview with talk show host Jimmy Kimmel (54), Pattinson revealedthat he originally wanted Batman to whisper, “Everyone does it in that gruff, edgy way. I figured I’d just do the complete opposite and whisper properly.” He tried for two weeks, but the people on the set quickly talked him out of it: “It just seemed absolutely horrible.” Everyone told him not to do that: “You have to talk to him in a different way.”

Christian Bale also changed his voice as Batman

At the beginning of the month, director Matt Reeves (55) spoke about the British voice in his Batman role. In an interview with the magazine “GQ” he revealedthat Pattinson was like a “chameleon”. He would never play a role with exactly his own voice. For him, disguising is like access to his role.

Incidentally, according to Pattinson, it’s not that unusual to adjust the pitch of your voice again during filming. Christian Bale did that too. If you want to check this out, just look at the very first trailer of “Batman Begins”, where Bale still speaks in the original voice for Batman.
