As for going extremes, Pattinson, who just had his ‘the Lighthouse’ release with Willem Dafoe underwent a massive weight loss, even wetting his pants and throwing up for his role as Ephraim. “I spent so much time making myself throw up. Pissing my pants,” he continued. “It’s the most revolting thing. I don’t know, maybe it’s really annoying’’ he told Esquire.

"The Batman" also stars Jeffrey Wright, Zoe Kravitz and Paul Dano.

The film is set for a June 2021 release.
