Robert Pattinson reveals he was asked to change his initial Batman voice; says ‘it was absolutely atrocious’

The actor, who stars in director Matt Reeves’ highly anticipated superhero film, visited Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday ahead of the movie’s release. During their chat, Pattinson told host Kimmel that he initially wanted go with a “radically different” voice from the low, raspy ones that previous Batman actors have used to portray the Caped Crusader, but alas, he was alone in that department.

“Everyone does this kind of gruff, gravelly thing, and I’m like, ‘I’m going to do the opposite — I’m gonna go really whispery,'” Pattinson recalled. “And I tried to do it for the first two weeks, and it just looked absolutely atrocious, and they told me to stop doing it.”

Although he eventually settled on a deeper, more traditional voice, he later learned he was apparently in good company. “I found out from Nick, who was putting me in the suit every day, that’s what Christian Bale did on Batman Begins as well,” Pattinson said. “And if you listen to the first Batman Begins teaser trailer, you can hear the original voice. I only found this out a couple of weeks ago.” Ultimately, Pattinson realized that he was wise to keep working on the voice: “You can feel when it feels right. You put the suit on, and you have to speak in a certain way.”

The Tenet star also shared some memories of early conversation he had with Reeves about the character. The actor said he pitched Reeves on having his version of Wayne dress in the late Nirvana frontman’s signature grunge style, but the director didn’t go for it.

Pattinson debuts his version of the beloved superhero with Matt Reeves' The Batman, which is set to hit theaters on March 4.
