Robert Pattinson’s Plan If ‘The Batman’ Fails? ‘Porn, But Art House Porn’ #FlashbackFriday

Claiming to suffer from catastrophic thinking, Robert Pattinson has a backup plan in case The Batman doesn’t work out: “Porn, but art house porn.”

In an interview with The Guardian to promote The Lighthouse in 2019, Pattinson says: The Batman is achievement, he says. Pattinson said yes to the part because “I felt a connection to it, I don’t know why,” but also because, “I just really wanted it.” The role has a “power”, which is why “everyone is attracted to it. It’s an unidentifiable thing.” But he’s already sick of the questions. He just wants to get on with making the film. “I’m already remembering what it’s like to talk about a movie where there’s an expectation. Whenever you say anything, people are like, ‘Argh! You idiot!’ Like, dude, I haven’t even started yet!”

I point out it’s a lot to live up to. “But there is no harsher critic of myself than myself, so I don’t need to worry about anyone else.” And what will he do if all of his worst case scenarios play out? If he never gets Batman’s vibe? He thinks for a minute, then tosses back the head and gives the big giggle. “Porn,” he says. “But art house porn.”
