We caught up with Robert Pattinson who plays Bruce Wayne/ Batman & Zoë Kravitz who plays Selina Kyle/ Catwoman to chat about the new movie. You've both worked on movies with massive fan bases before, is there an added pressure knowing that you have a large fan base so invested in these characters? important part is to do your best in order for me to show up and do my job and really dive into the

I was just kind of having fun talking to him about the character. But then saw some of the images of how

he wanted to present Gotham and how he actually wanted to interpret the character and it just really appealed to me. I was together. So I was pretty happy just playing little weirdos & maybe I’ll just make Batman into one of those. (laughs) You're portraying characters that have so much history, 80 or more years. What would you say is your most important contribution for your characters? about the history of it. Many of these characters have been reinterpreted many times. It's on a level of doing something like
