In a recentEntertainment Weeklyinterview, Kravitz, 33, and Pattinson, 35, reflected on their memorable chemistry test together, alongside director Matt Reeves.
“Thechemistry read was really intense,” said Kravitz. “Rob was wearing the Batsuit, and it was a proper camera test with the DP there and everything on a soundstage. It wasn’t just reading lines in a room. So it was intimidating, to say the least.”
Reeves, 55, noted that Kravitz and Pattinson “really connected” and “everyone could see there was something really special between them.”
Kravitz added of her onscreen chemistry with theTwilightalum, “There could be a lot going on in a scene, but if I was able to connect with Rob and look into his eyes, it would immediately bring me into the moment. I saw a look in his eye that I hadn’t seen before. Seeing something new and very vulnerable as well was really beautiful.”

“Rob really puts on the cowl and claims it and makes it his own,” Wright added. “He brings such a range of things to this portrayal, it’s really wonderful. I think he brings certain dynamics that we haven’t necessarily seen before. HisBatman is fierce, ferocious, everything you would expect.”
His alter ego Bruce Wayne, however, “has a kind of vulnerability to him that is quite new,” explained theWestworldstar. “It’s that vulnerability, I think in some ways, that explains the need for the cowl and the cape because it’s inside all of that, that he finds the strength to be this hero in the midst of this decaying city that is Gotham.”
Wright added, “There’s a lot of trauma at Bruce Wayne’s core, and it’s that trauma that I think, as Rob plays it, we see propelling him to become the Batman and do what he does. It’s a really wonderful performance.”
The Batman— also starringPeter SarsgaardandColin Farrell— swoops into theaters March 4.
