Claire Denise Speaks About Robert Pattinson’s Batman
In a light-hearted conversation with Screen Slate in honour of the remake of her 1992 feature ‘No Fear, No Die‘, Claire Denis was asked if she would direct a Batman movie.
The director responded to the question with immense praise for Robert Pattinson, who will return for the role again in 2026.
Talking about Pattinson’s performance she said, “I watched ‘The Batman’ because Robert Pattinson is a friend. Of course, it’s a lot, a lot, a lot of post-production. A crew of 300. But the work inside, the way Robert thinks about Batman — I like the way he constructed his Batman. It’s the rest of it — the effects, the crowds, the post-production, it’s like two films in one. There’s the Batman story, which is very intimate and delicate, and then the rest.”
But then answering the original question she said, “I would do a Batman if I could do it without the rest.”
