Robert Pattinson Says His First Batman Voice Was ‘Absolutely Atrocious’: ‘They Told Me To Stop Doing It’

Robert Pattinson had a “ton” of “bad ideas” while filming “The Batman”. The actor chatted to Jimmy Kimmel on his show Wednesday about the eagerly anticipated flick, which is set to be released March 4.

Pattinson said of when he finally saw the movie himself, “I was absolutely terrified. I haven’t been this scared to release a movie in such a long time.” Kimmel questioned the “Twilight” actor on how long it took him to get the voice just right, with him explaining how he first wanted to do something “radically different” from the previous Batmans.

He laughed, “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.’ “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.” READ MORE: Zoë Kravitz & Robert Pattinson Talk About Their ‘Really Intense’ Chemistry Audition For ‘The Batman’ Pattinson later learned that he wasn’t the only one to try such a technique, telling Kimmel: “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. “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.” The star added, “You can feel when it feels right. You put the suit on, and you have to speak in a certain way.” READ MORE: Robert Pattinson On Making ‘The Right Move’ That Landed Him ‘The Batman’: ‘By Far The Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Done’ Pattinson also spoke about director Matt Reeves telling him how Bruce Wayne was inspired by Kurt Cobain, which led the actor to, again, try something different with the character from previous movies.
