00:07
anticipated new movie the batman it
00:09

00:13
about what you're wearing did you think
00:37
to yourself i'm batman now i can't wear
00:38
like some like turquoise thing or
00:42
whatever i have to dress in black i was
00:44
i was trying to be serious
00:46
right he's slightly corporate don't say
00:47
any naughty stories
00:49
i uh i saw the movie last night i'm
00:52
gonna begin by saying you are an
00:54
excellent batman i know you were worried
00:56
what kind of a batman you might be
00:59
you are a really good batman thank you
01:02
and i and you know what i was thinking
01:04
about this too there's nothing worse
01:06
than being a bad batman i mean if you're
01:08
there's no bigger disaster than that is
01:12
there i know that's what everyone keeps
01:14
telling me they're like yeah you know if
01:16
you're still being part of something
01:19
really special well i don't want to be
01:20
like the worst one if that's what i get
01:22
remembered one maniac said that to you
01:24
that seems like the first thing you
01:26
could say to anybody
01:28
especially like the week before the
01:30
how about that have you seen the movie
01:33
in its entirety i saw it three days ago
01:35
yeah you did yeah were you nervous going
01:37
absolutely terrified i haven't been
01:40
scared to release a movie in such a long
01:42
time i haven't even released the movie
01:44
at what point during the film did you
01:46
breathe the sigh of relief was it right
01:48
away did it take you to the end how did
01:51
yeah i mean i'd seen the first 90
01:55
minutes by myself in an imax before and
01:56
i knew that the first 90 minutes was
01:58
great but i've kind of gotten into this
02:00
habit where i kind of realized i need to
02:01
be in the perfect balance of serotonin
02:04
to watch my own stuff and like so i need
02:06
to kind of i need to work out for two
02:08
hours beforehand i need to have an
02:10
enormous amount of sugar and caffeine
02:11
and so like whatever i'm watching i'm
02:13
go with this and uh
02:17
you did do that i i did do that and i
02:20
watched it with uh matt reeves the
02:22
incredible director and his family and
02:24
uh was he looking at you the whole time
02:27
during the movie to see how you reacted
02:29
i'm not really sure i watched it with my
02:31
girlfriend as well and she was like
02:33
it was really her reaction that kind of
02:35
changed the entire thing because
02:37
i'm pretty sure she's not normally into
02:40
watching kind of superhero these kind of
02:42
movies yeah and just seeing that i could
02:44
kind of she was capturing her attention
02:46
the entire time and then like she just
02:48
held my hand and just touched it right
02:49
there and i could feel a little tear and
02:51
no way and then when she
02:54
and then after the movie was she just
02:58
all over you super sexed up from batman
03:00
how did it come to be that you um you
03:08
played batman was this your idea was
03:11
this something you were reached out
03:13
about or did they reach out to you
03:14
that's strange i kind of i just had this
03:19
strange feeling about no one really knew
03:21
what the status of it was
03:23
and i met dylan clark the producer
03:27
about some other stuff and when i knew i
03:30
saw her in his imdb that there was just
03:33
kind of rumored batman involvement
03:35
and i just was the last thing i said in
03:38
the meeting i'm like what's going on
03:40
with the batman and he was just a little
03:41
flicker of recognition and i kind of
03:42
thought huh there's a little there's an
03:44
opening there so i kind of kept pushing
03:47
and pushing and then
03:48
loved him he had a really interesting
03:54
take on the character and then it's
03:55
another eight months and then shot
03:57
another movie and blah blah blah blah
03:59
and then three years later it's finally
04:01
coming out i'd heard that when you read
04:03
for the movie you were wearing a bat
04:06
suit like a one of the real ones from
04:09
like val kilmer or i
04:12
i why you try on every single one you
04:15
did see which one and every single one
04:17
still has the actors kind of sweat where
04:19
are these bad suits
04:21
there's a little cage somewhere in
04:23
warner brothers uh costume department
04:25
and you walked in and they're all there
04:28
it comes out with its own little guard
04:29
and they're both wearing little batman
04:31
outfits as well they're wearing
04:33
but they really don't care they don't
04:39
care which product they worked on
04:40
there's the same people in the costume
04:41
department who worked on uh
04:42
every single one of the batman movies so
04:44
they don't really care like who the the
04:46
director is or anything that i do not
04:47
mess these suits up so you put on this
04:50
do you call it a costume or what it's a
04:54
proper bat suit i guess yeah i put on
04:56
i i tried on all of them and it's kind
04:59
of because it's really made it's the
05:01
size of your head that's the uh the
05:02
and i think i think the body fit more on
05:07
val kilmer's one and the head fit on
05:09
clooney's one that's okay kind of
05:12
frankensteined it but either one didn't
05:14
really fit and you've got like three uh
05:15
trying to squeeze your legs into this 30
05:23
year old foam costume which is just
05:25
disintegrating as you're getting into it
05:27
this seems like such a bad idea you know
05:29
and then you're boiling i mean this is
05:33
before it even got the part this is the
05:34
screen test and so you're just kind of
05:36
you're absolutely terrified and the
05:38
nipples are on this suit that you had i
05:39
guess many many ripples yeah you got
05:41
very prominent and then you walk do you
05:45
look at yourself in the mirror and go
05:48
yeah that's him yeah after being lubed
05:50
up and squeezed into it like what was
05:53
your batman growing up
05:55
i grew up watching um adam west really
05:58
yes was his suit in there
06:01
i don't think it was you'd notice it if
06:04
it was because it's like pajamas it's
06:06
like a gray thing and then uh tim
06:08
burton's one i mean that was the one
06:11
which and michael keaton as well yeah
06:12
that was the one that kind of really
06:14
captured me did you consult with any of
06:16
the previous batman beforehand because
06:18
it's a big deal it is i mean i did i was
06:21
a bit scared to kind of ask them
06:24
anything but i bumped into christian
06:26
in a like a next-door at a urinal and
06:28
and uh and that was i kind of guess it
06:32
kind of inspired him to say uh
06:34
you need um you the first thing you need
06:37
to do in the back suit is figure out a
06:39
way to pee and so when i went to the
06:40
costume department i just i was like
06:42
first things first i need i need a patch
06:44
i need a flap on the back
06:47
oh you did it in the back interesting
06:52
yeah a velcro okay yeah that's very key
06:55
sitting down yeah that gives us a little
06:57
insight into you that we'd not expected
07:00
you know be fun you should i think i
07:06
have a couple of these guys phone
07:08
numbers you should start calling the
07:09
other batman and go i'm batman and hang
07:10
all right so when we come back we're
07:20
going to look at uh we have a worldwide
07:22
exclusive a clip from the movie that has
07:23
never been seen before
07:26
batman we'll be right back
07:30
who's the mustache with the broken nose
07:36
that's kinsey narcotics
07:42
he's one of the guys that got into it
07:45
with the iceberg lounge
07:46
these zane kenzie moonlights for the
07:49
i'm online just a cop
07:54
there it is the batman
08:24
and he's here robert pattinson
08:27
how long did it take you to figure out
08:32
the voice the batman voice
08:35
uh i mean i actually found out a funny
08:38
thing about it because
08:40
i wanted to do a radically different
08:42
thing to all the other batman uh
08:44
in a kind of i just thought because
08:48
everyone does this kind of gruff
08:50
gravelly thing i'm like i'm gonna do the
08:51
opposite i'm gonna go really
08:53
whispery and i tried to do it for the
08:55
first time two weeks
08:57
and it just looked absolutely atrocious
08:59
and they kept they told me to stop doing
09:02
it but then i found out from nick who
09:03
was putting me in the suit every day
09:05
that's what um christian bale did on
09:07
batman begins as well and if you listen
09:09
batman begins teaser trailer you can
09:14
hear the original voice i only found
09:16
this out a couple of weeks ago and uh
09:17
it's kind of interesting it'd be fun if
09:19
batman had like a texas accent or
09:21
something like that
09:23
it's funny there's something that it's
09:24
you can feel when it feels right you
09:26
can't like there's something you put the
09:28
suit on and you have to speak in a
09:29
certain way it doesn't yeah anything
09:31
else yeah right it's like yeah you could
09:32
it's almost in a way like uh if you were
09:35
a wrestler or something you can't
09:36
underplay it no no something in the way
09:38
by nirvana is in the uh in the movie and
09:41
dave crowl is here tonight he played the
09:44
yeah it's so cool in that spot it really
09:50
really works you know it's it's funny
09:52
when you when a song just
09:54
nails that moment i wonder did you well
09:56
maybe you weren't even involved in this
09:59
part do you guys go through a bunch of
10:01
songs to figure that out i think that
10:03
song was i mean one of the first things
10:05
that matt said to me he's like he's a
10:07
kind he's sort of inspired by kurt
10:08
cobain and like really that's kind of
10:10
the opposite of what my imagine bruce
10:12
wayne to be it's funny we had these kind
10:14
of uh the first costume meetings
10:16
i wanted to go like really really really
10:19
kokabane and kind of wanted to wear like
10:22
a dress and gown and kind of fluffy like
10:24
bugs barney slippers for the first the
10:27
kind of really kind of grungy
10:30
and yeah that we talked about yeah you
10:33
can't have a flannel batman you can't
10:35
have one of those hats
10:37
so you had a lot of bad ideas to start
10:40
with tons yeah yeah
10:42
and then out of them
10:44
matt managed to whittle through those
10:47
and figure it out there was one thing i
10:49
i sent that on the uh
10:51
because uh i was talking to zoey kravitz
10:53
who plays catwoman yeah yeah she's great
10:55
in it too yeah it's great yeah and she
10:57
was saying she's like to see that the
10:59
way she's moving and stuff she's looking
11:01
at these videos like big cat videos and
11:02
kind of how like kind of big cats fight
11:04
a bat fights and like
11:10
and there was just one video on planet
11:12
the technique of a vampire bat
11:16
with a chicken in a cage
11:18
how it fights the chicken was it flaps
11:22
around the cage for like an hour just
11:25
flat banging on the cage until the
11:28
chicken's been scared for so long the
11:30
chicken falls asleep and then the bat
11:31
sneaks into the cage and bites it on its
11:34
and i said i sent her i sent that to
11:39
matt reeves and he's like i've got an
11:42
it's a different movie but i think you
11:46
should make that at some point
11:48
where do you live now and and you know
11:50
the reason i'm asking do you know the
11:52
yeah i always think to be quite confused
11:55
about it no you're not confused you lie
11:57
about it each time like i know i keep
11:59
getting accused it's funny because i i
12:00
get this kind of a panic makes me kind
12:02
of say i don't know what i'm saying on
12:04
talk shows at all i don't know what's
12:06
coming up i mean literally just talked
12:08
the yeah eating that bottle oh yeah yeah
12:10
no it was a chicken's butthole you
12:16
wouldn't eat a batch butthole that's
12:18
i don't think bats even have them
12:21

even been cast as spider-man and he was
13:08

13:09
shooting that movie why and i was like
13:11

13:17
that we were in colombia and i'm all 99
13:20
certain he wasn't costing hold on
13:23

13:30
he wearing the costume or is he wearing
13:32
