Robert Pattinson Took His Own Pictures For His GQ Cover And Nearly Started A Fire In His “Batman” House Kitchen

May 12, 2020 / Posted by:

It’s mid-March and things in Quoronatine (™) are starting to get weird. GQ made Robert Pattinson take his own pictures for the June/July cover and the interview was conducted by phone and over the internet. Throughout the interview, Rob was really playing up the whole “man goes slowly crazy in isolation” angle even though he’s in London living with his girlfriend (probably Suki Waterhouse) in a house provided by “the Batman folks,” eating weird food provided by “the Batman folks,” but refusing to do his prescribed workouts. Rob says he’s already “totally lost all sense of time” and nearly burned down his very nice kitchen by putting aluminum foil in a microwave while trying to demonstrate how to make a handheld pasta monstrosity he’s developed in hopes of filling a pasta shaped hole in the fast-food industry.

And at one point, I had a Robin action figure with a karate-chop hand that, sadly, died when my cousin took a golf club to him in his driveway (an action figure of Data from Star Trek: TNG was also a tragic casualty of the Five Iron Massacre). All this to say, that I had no idea up until today that the higher ups at ABC allegedly wanted Burt Ward’s bulge situation to be as smooth and plain as the plastic crotch on my action figure.

November 6, 2019 / Posted by:

It’s time for your bi-weekly The Batman update! When we last caught up with the conversations from inside The Batman casting room, we learned that Robert Pattinson’s Batman wasn’t going to be facing off against a sardonic stoner version of The Penguin (aka Jonah Hill was out). Paul Dano was confirmed as The Riddler, Zoe Kravitz is Catwoman, and Jeffrey Wright is Commissioner Gordon. Now it looks like Colin Farrell is The Penguin.

Josh Gad just ran full-tilt to his phone and frantically called his agent, screaming “ME ME ME, I’LL DO IT!” when he read that the role of The Penguin in The Batman was back up for grabs. Because Jonah Hill is no longer going to play The Penguin or The Riddler opposite Robert Pattinson as Batman.
