I think he's referring to the fact that male actors often have to dehydrate themselves for days for shirtless scenes, as well as widespread pressuring to use peds.
his body image in the movie was actually pretty realistic for someone who barely sleeps and it's only workout is punching thugs all night I'd say that is a good thing
Also being ripped to shreds just isn’t conducive for maximum force exertion. If your trying to punch someone’s lights in having body fat is a good thing
Go look at top MMA fighters, and look at top body builders. Body builders have a ton more muscle, but it makes them terrible fighters since they are slow and inflexible, being strong but lean is far better. Plus Batman won’t have time to work out. He’s usually so obsessed with crime fighting that he skips eating and sleeping most of the time, there’s no chance he would give himself the time to follow a workout routine when he could be patrolling Gotham.
Michael Keaton was asked if he was working out for the first big role of Batman in movies. He said: "Why the hell I would workout? I'm going to wear a suit. The suit makes you look jacked."
@@amysteriousviewer3772 His answer was specifically to the question if he was working out "for the role". He didn't say anything about working out in general. Don't be so quick to judge without knowing the context. It's quite a terrible attitude to do that.
His body type was like an MMA fighter, that's perfect for who he was trying to portray. Aflecks giant Batman body was good for a comicbook style movie that was going to involve aliens and amazons but Pattisons physique was exactly how a guy who goes out and fist fights in armor every night would actually look.
@@SolznmidJJ weighs 270lbs and is strong as an Ox, thats a TERRIBLE comparison. Jones has been caught using steroids too, twice! He deadlifts 600lbs, hes like the polar opposite of a skinny twig. You literally have no idea hahahaha
@@fujithegreat6069 Imagine a Sherlock-Type-Version of a movie with Batman. Like, where he actually uses wits, knowledge, technology and his vast intelligence to solve cases. And then beat the living crap out of his opponents.
Hollywood would fuck him over if he said steroids, celebrities sell their programs for fitness although they take steroids and it’s unrealistic to get their physique naturally
Also, being a character who is constantly climbing and running and jumping around, being acrobatic and gymnastic, he would be strong and muscular, but also pretty lean, he would probably have a build like a gymnast or a climber, since any extra weight would just hinder your movement.
@@devinjansa9329 Gymnasts have big muscles tho, and climbers are thinner. But yeah if a man were to do ehat Batman does, he would definitely not look like a bodybuilder since bodybuilders need a lifestyle with complete sleep, lots of eating, and 3-5 hours of training for 6 days a week.
@@betterthanmylastusername5927 exactly! And he has a Journal documenting as Batman and it says “Year Two” and I see all these people complaining about what he does in the movie. He’s still learning and it’s one of my favorite aspects of the movie.
I agree, it's year 2 and he's still learning. But Bruce trained for years all around the world to gain the skills he needed to become Batman. I absolutely loved the film but a bit disappointed by his physique. Becoming ripped is def an achievable feat without ped's. Tho I do agree a lot of these Hollywood actors are probably on some.
@@abductedbyhorror1238Why? Why would you respect not doing your job properly? If he wont go to the limit, he should give the job to someone who is. What an absolute half assed effort If youre Hollywood, you can do gear safely. Many many athletes do, TRT is common for all, hardly like Stallone looks bad at 70, hes been using his entire life...... you sound like one of those guys whos lost his gf to a juicer and really cant take it
Definitely watch at. As for actors I totally agree but some blame can also be put on the crazy schedules they deal with sometimes combined with the characters they’re playing like in Christian’s case
He had a very down to earth athletic physique that was fitting for his batman I feel. The Dark Knight isn’t a body builder, his training focuses on practical strength and martial arts
Dude definitely worked out for the role. On his comment about body standards (which he’s right about) he was def saying he didn’t wanna hop on the juice and perpetuate unrealistic standards from such a renown character, but had to be sly about how he said it. Reminds me of Cavill and his superman
@phantom3146 nah Tom is bigger than Toby Edit: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣no he isn't dang Toby is a hunk of beef lol, also it's honestly hilarious how many of you replied to correct me. W moment for the Spiderman community. Love yall
@@phantom3146toby wasn’t that built at least in the first spiderman. comparing his physique in that movie to toms in spiderman no way home you can tell tom has more muscle mass
@@JustIce-hs5rx nicer shoulders in far from home , but Tobey has bigger biceps and a more protruding chest you can see better in Tobeys screen test for Spider-Man 1
I love that he acknowledged that. He's indirectly taking off the pressure from other people who see him and want to go above and beyond to get a similar frame.
He also spoke about the overwhelming trend of method actors to only play damaged, nasty people, and never really using that talent to embody characters who are quite lovely. That kind of acting takes a toll on people, and it's unhealthy to do that process for months on end solely to get critical acclaim. I would personally love to see a method actor who portrays a fundamentally kind and compassionate person, one who makes you believe that they actually exist outside the film, because it would be nice if such a lovely person like that could exist.
@@resinfingers3896Tell that to Heath Ledger. Stop glamorizing it, a role is not worth physical or emotional tolls to that degree, taking steroids is damaging. And we'd rather have Heath and a slightly less realistic joker but now he's gone forever so not worth it.
@@allroundladstop parroting the idea that the Joker role killed Heath Ledger. He’s perfectly put together in interviews following The Dark Knight he just OD’d from a bad combination of drugs
@@stevenw5838 okay, sure....like I said Bale and Affleck match the COMIC BOOK DESCRIPTION, while Pattinson looks more like someone who actually spends his time training to fight instead of being a body builder.
@valdie91285 220 is not body builder. For his height, that is a solid weight. Realistically, the best fighter in the world is around 205lbs fight night. walk around would be about 220 to 230. Jon Jones is not a body builder and would have a similar frame.
@@stevenw5838irst of all weight distribution works differently depending on height, Robert Pattinson is 6'1 which is tall and the taller you are the harder it gets to put on muscle mass, which means you can have skinny looking tall guys who are capable of knocking your ass out because of weight distribution and just look at mma fighters like Anderson silva or BJ Penn, both are men definitely capable of knocking folks out and yet they are pretty skinny or even look at Bruce Lee who was also pretty skinny but definitely could knock folks out he only didn't look skinny because he had a very low body fat percentage which by the way reduces punching power but his muscle mass was not high at all. Pattinsons physique is very realistic in terms of being capable of knocking someone out while being fast and agile. Side note: I can guarantee Keaton is one of your favourite batmen but you don't criticise him for being skinny and he was less likely to knock guys out than Pattinson because he was shorter and skinny meaning by default Pattinson is heavier weight just cause he's taller. Or how about West or Kilmer, don't see any criticisms of their physiques. This is why Fanbases annoy me, you only criticise things when it suits you and lack consistency.
@@albertogarcia305 I wouldn’t know cuz I never bothered to watch it. I can’t take this guy as Batman seriously first he was a vampire now he’s a bat🤦♂️🤣🤣
Absolute legend. Plus he looked like in the exact shape Batman would be at the stage he was in during the story in the movie. Need more people like this in Hollywood. It’s insane how normal PEDs have become not even just in Hollywood, but I’m the average gym
Batman most definitely takes steroids. Full stack. That’s the only way he could keep up with the lifestyle he leads. All the late nights, injuries, etc and he’s still jacked. Only one way to do that.
@@JLOCC23424 I was talking about the fictional character. Batman would have to be on steroids, if only to help him recover and keep in top shape. As a non meta human, he would need every advantage. I was merely trying to point out that the steroid look is probably more accurate. I know RP isn’t on steroids, he should be if he really wants to nail the Batman look.
@@salvajeasp757 yes but then you have stupid fanboys criticizing you for not being like some ideal batman they had in mind.He said a big truth regarding the stupid idea of actors having to be what you imagine they should look like
He's a punk, he took on a physical role and said he was not going to train for it, he got a lot of flack then he went back on what he said and said he trained. Batman needs MMA fighter fitness, he does not have to be jacked but he has to be fit.
@@SpruceMoose-iv8un and robert was fit 😂 He didnt tske roids and did workout He wasnt shredded and the thing is him in the suit looks perfectly fine Antony stars who plays as homelander wheres a muscle suit but is still great actor The batman was a great movie one of the best dc movies out shit was fire
@@okay8458 A 10 episode TV series vs a billion dollar movie are two different things. Hugh Jackman did not take rods too yet he got ripped. Being shredded and being huge from rods are two different things.
His body in The Batman is the most credible body for an agile fighter who has recently started fighting crime He really did not skip the workout but he did it realistically
Not only that, but I’m a little tired of seeing these ripped to shreds, thick necked bodybuilders walking around as playboy Bruce Wayne while all the thugs and cops say “Wayne? He’s a harmless little twerp.” Pattinson was just big enough to be a believable batman and a believable Bruce Wayne.
Then you have no idea what a person is capable of naturally, and you’ve never seen an actually agile fighter. Start watching mma and you’ll understand why Pattinson looked and fought like a joke. I honestly would have been okay with his lackluster physique but his choreography was just laughable. Almost as bad as TDKR
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 My...My dude. He's an actor. Also, there's very few similarities between MMA fighting and choreography as disciplines/art forms/skill sets/whatever ya wanna call it. R.P's rendition of batman wasn't too bad. They didn't use many jump cuts and even though the choreography wasn't anything inspiring, it wasn't terrible either. Just very middling, but I wouldn't call it laughable.
I've watched the movie quite some time ago so I looked at the pics to refresh my memory. He looks like crap. Even after dehydration and diet his abs are not defined and his arms still look fatty. All because the guy refused to do a proper routine (heck don't take steroids, but do workout properly...).
Actually in his early years of being Batman he’s not huge at all. He a lot leaner which makes him able to move around a lot more. He’s only bigger when he gets older. Prime example being the TDKR. If we’re talking about big superheroes then Superman takes that title
To be fair, it was a much earlier version of Batman he played. Yeah he still went through all the training and stuff, but he was only Batman for a year or so iirc. And I think he did really well personally.
@@Dhxgdbdhhxhdjdjexactly. You’re 100% correct. He’s a lazy, entitled douche. If he didn’t wanna put in the work he shouldn’t have taken the job. And maybe (but I doubt it) the movie wouldn’t have been a steaming pile of dog poop if he put in the work. Next time Hollywood should cast Andy Dick as Thor
@@CaptainRockoBD Actually he hit around 220 lbs to 225 lbs at his peak. He continued to gain muscle while filming. That'a why in some scenes he's more bulked up than other scenes.
A heavyweight fighter would beat a middleweight fighter of equal skill, batman also wears a heavy suit of tech and fights multiple opponents at once and to the finish, not for points in a round. He would benefit massively from being big and strong.
@@africannerdmusicdefinitely not wrong, sure he could play nightwing but i think at this point hes just a little too rough looking, and he played an incredible batman
I agree with the original comment. Let’s all remember that Batman is a fictional character with unrealistic levels of strength. I prefer an actor who puts in the word naturally, rather than using steroids, getting jacked af (abnormally fast) then refusing to disclose using juice saying ‘I ate chicken and rice and worked out 4 times a day for 6months lol. 🤷🏽♀️
Bruce traveled around the world for years to gain the skills he needed to become batman. I absolutely loved the film but his physique was a bit disappointing.
People tend to forget that he played an early version of Batman like in Year One, where Batmann was still starting out, and not full on bulked out. He was perferct
Uh no. He just didn't want to put in the work to train. That's someone who's never had the motivation so he's blaming it on steroids??? Don't buy it. He felt like he had better things to do and that's fine but don't blame everyone else for your actions.
Playing his own version of a young Batman who's still at the beginning, I think that's perfect. I'd expect a slight build up for a sequel though. Not much, just to underline his growth in power and experience.
@@Haze-fx7dz lol, not at all. the one who buff are not field officer, they mostly support thats why i say "field officer" the one who actually do combat 😂
Robert Patterson is the polar opposite of the Liver King, by showing us that it is possible to get in shape and to look good, without steroids and plastic surgery.
I have a similar build to him and when I showed up to the prom after party I might not have been the most ripped or the biggest I'm still definitely someone you don't wanna piss off
What you think cuz working out in a gym gives u bigger muscles makes you stronger? Body workouts will build strength not necessarily make the arms look big but they will still make em hella stronger
What do you think? He was born with peak human strength? Read or watch year one he talks about his training and gradually becoming stronger, the way they showed him breaking the tree
I’d say he was one of the best Batman’s in the live action film making I love how he was just the right type of aggressive but still kept everything under control I’d watch that movie again honestly
The movie was meh, Christians version is the best modern day. Roberts take on physique management is in denial, he's more likely the avoidance type, yet to realize the benefits of muscle building and strength, which coincidentally doesnt hurt the role, hes just stuck on maintaining a certain look, my man cant get off the vampire bus 😂
@@scotchbarrel4429no it was just an actual batman story, dark knight was great and all but the batman was much more focused on the modern horrors that are much more believable
@@scotchbarrel4429it's not denial, the lengths actors like Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman go to in order to change their body weight and physique isn't healthy or sustainable. doing that breaks your body down overtime. getting those types of bodies in safe and healthy ways involve pacing your workouts and diet for months. this obviously isn't to knock the dedication the 2 batmen and Jackman had, their work or the lengths they went to will never be forgotten.
Taylor is ridiculously hot now and then, IMO of course. He still deals with people calling him fat and I see nothing of the sort. Robert looks like he does meth since Twilight.
@@Katfancy40 ones nearly irrelevant and has no work and one has had 4 movies in the last year, robert may look like a meth head but he working and Lautners not
Sorry but batman has to be chiseled like a Ryan Reynolds he doesn't have to be overly big like Ben Affleck so it would be impossible to move around but he has to be in a good physical peak. The batman was rad though!!! He was amazing ❤
I actually did think that... I thought he'd really looks weak. I enjoyed the movie still but batman have always been the representation of peak human capabilities. Does he have to be as big as body builders? Heck no, they slow af but he should aim to have UFC somewhere around middle weight or at least welterweight
yeah i agree but i did think “he’s skinny” but it’s batman year 2 so i don’t really care….as long as we see a build up of muscle over time kinda like with Tom Holland in homecoming to far from home. he got a lot more muscles mass in that movie
It fits the gritty realism of the world and character in this movie, honestly. A real Batman wouldn't be juiced and bulky, he would have a well rounded physique built like a lean fighter which is exactly what Pattinson looked like.
Okay, but the thing is, Batman isn't really human. Hes a freak of nature that can bench 1000 pounds. So we're not really going realistic here. We're going off of comics.
@@kami7079 the cinematic universe of any comic series always seems to downplay the comics though and goes for a slightly more grounded approach, especially with batman
@@kami7079 Says who? Who told you that every interpretation must adhere to the comics? I'm guessing it would be a very boring and homogeneous franchise if you were in charge
Google: Batmans workout routine.. Then let me know if you think someone that does ALL that and fights criminals all night, should be "lean" or jacked af.
The fight scenes in the film were fast and brutal, well shot! And his shirtless scene showed that his body build was fine! So I don’t think there should be a problem! Sure he can spend more time work out more, but on the whole, I’d like to see you folks where that heavy suit amor and try to fight in it.
Oh no, a hollywood actor's paycheck and I get to be batman! My worst nightmare! How will I ever recover from being set for the rest of my life financially from one movie?! I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'd accept this challenge as many times as someone offered to fill the same requirements he gets for doing it.
@@cesarmorales9766 You wanna work out insanely and fight in an armored battle suit? His acting was great in the film from what he was given and directed to do!
Fr and if you think about it’s realistic. He had to train in so many different martial arts and most martial artist aren’t built like Greek gods. He is still built but he isn’t super buff because he needs to be agile and fast enough.
Yo his movie of the Batman is my favorite was super badass with a real badass Jim Gordon best duo ever. And Alfred was Hi Key the most suave man. Movie was genius. Plus that BatMobile intro with the revving and death race to catch penguin ooooooh shiiiit.
@@Betares thank you. Couldn't remember if was year 1 or was going into second year. I was watching an interesting podcast with the late Kevin Conroy and Will Fredill who was Terry and he said an interesting quote that he was told by Bruce Timm when he first got the role and he said Bruce everyone finds their own Batman and by that he meant that as the movies got darker the cartoons went lighter and vice versa so its important to remember you may like some over others or several over others that prefer. And no matter whether its live action or animated in my opinion and for so many fans The Batman IS Kevin Conroy. I grew up with him as Batman and over the years he's voiced him on many occasions over animated series or video games. Even reading comic books or the graphic novels I hear Kevin Conroy as Bruce/Batman. I have my favorites in terms of the movies but all around Kevin is Batman.
@@slattslattslatt Comic accurate Batman is stronger than Brian Shaw. He is also 6’2 and 225. Kevin Porter had the best looking Batman that I have seen so far.
People who think bale gained 60kg of muscle and fat in under 5-6 months without steroids are certified clowns. There was an old interview at the time of batman begins where the interviewer asked him about the use of steroids and he completely dodged the question
@@CaidianJohnson the shooting for batman begins started 5 months after the machinist's release. Clown thought he could argue with me without basic info🤡
@@wadewillson9220bro your so slow, they didn’t take any where near the level of fucked up shit and amounts people take now, it’s chemical warfare. Steroid users are cringe - natural lifter
Bale actually got down to 120 for The Machinist. 130 for Rescue Dawn. 140 for The Fighter. Every time he played Batman, he was coming off a movie where he was crazy skinny.
he literally has a natty good fit body what do you want?take steroids and not drinking water for 2-3 days so the muscles can look cleaner even henry cavil has talked about this shit@@ShawnMenchaca
I agree with him but something people can't deny is that Batman is a heavyweight guy. Besides having cool gadgets and being a good detective his other thing is that he's peak human,he's flexible but built. And not showing the built part just takes away an aspect of Batman,it's also a bit weird considering other actors actually dedicated themselves to getting built for the role.
@@Granad784 Ok,but then you're just kinda helping my point. Cause he's gonna need to eventually bulk up when more movies come out cause he'll be an experienced Batman by then.
This was the most grounded version of Batman. The closest we have in real world to this kind of charater in real world are navy seals and those guys don't have huge bodybuilders with sub 10% body fat.
@@adrianwerner1982batman isn't a navy seal,batman does wayyy more physical training like rock climbling and constant martial arts that navy seals don't do and he's usually 6'2 and 2'10 batmans huge and before you say someone that big can't move fast and aglie,lebron james is real my guy🫥
If you look at ufc fighters also, a lot of them aren't ridiculously jacked. It's also cos it'll slow you down. But also batman doesn't freaking sleep or eat much so the fact he has that much muscle in the first place is impressive.
This movie was incredible... its everything that's been lacking in other batman stories... I really loved the look and feel this movie had going for it. Pattinson was fucking iconic in the role... a truly amazing batman movie.
Iconic?? People already forgot "The Batman" It's the inception effect, where people, just to look and sound cool say good things about the movie The Batman was mid
@@kalkin8129People didn't forget about it, they just stopped talking about it because it's somewhat "old" and other hyped-up superhero movies came after it, like Across the Spiderverse, Guardians Vol 3, etc. It was a pretty good movie with a good narrative, an interesting take on The Riddler, great actors and a fantastic tone.
@@darthgames3 old?? Wdym??? To this day people talk about the batman trilogy To this day people talk about how good bvs actually was(how well they portrayed the clash between the two biggestsuperheroesin the entire comic world) to this day To this day many consider Toby the best spiderman, RDJ as iron man, Chris as captain America, Hemsworth as Thor, Henry as clark, Joaquin and ledger as joker All these roles/movies I mentioned is what I call ICONIC The Batman is just another mediocre superhero movie
@@kalkin8129bro thinks the Batman was mediocre 😂 let me tell you that movie is going to be like blade runner whenever a new Batman movie is going to come out people are going to compare it to it .
I think people forget that Batman literally trained in, and I quote, EVERY martial arts that exist. He needs to daily keep his shape to optimum to do the crazy acrobatics with all the weight o his gears. I'm not saying I encourage the steroid thing or don't like Rob Patt, I still haven't watced his movie, but Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, and especially Heath Ledger, understood what the comic is, how profound it is, and how best to portray it. Like they said, "it's just my job." No one, ABSOLUTLY no one can compete with performance that was delivered in the trilogy. When you truly put passion that could drain your life into what you love to do, it shows. If he doesn't wanna work out that much, he should hve played Nightwing or Red Hood, tho even them they go through hell...
@@wadewillson9220This. Male standards are good. Wish Hollywood had the balls to hold similar female standards as well and force everyone to be in great shape year 'round. Everyone we look up to should appear ideal. It sets a better global standard.
He says that but , all the best actors workout it's a sign of dedication and passion towards the role plus actually going through the process of being fit and ripped builds a good psychological connection to the character you're playing 😂😂😅
@@WestlyJohnhe wasn't ripped He was in good shape though I'm 17 I've been training for less than 2 years naturally and barely even dieting, I'm bigger than him and more lean
Dude most of the actors juice. Look at Jonathan Majors. Dude was small as shit then just beefed up that fast? It takes a person who isn’t juicing at minimum 9 months to actually see results and 18 months to achieve his size naturally. And that’s with and increased food intake. I respect Robert for not juicing because Hoe you going question his dedication when the others cheat?
I admire his stand on juicing. Bro could have maybe visited the gym a couple of times before the shoot though. I mean he's signed on to play frickin Batman, not Emo Junkie Man.
Yes but he was bodybuilder turned actor so obviously he’s gonna be huge and workout all the time. They’re completely different situations and not comparable
@@michael_5930 That's the issue with using blanket statements. And it most definitely applies. The bodybuilding scene in the 1970's with Arnold is what made bodybuilding famous. Pumping Iron and Stay Hungry both came out in the 1970s, featured Arnold, and were critically acclaimed. Plus that was the launching pad for not just Arnold's action star career, but the entire action blockbuster phase into the 1980s. Even the first Rocky film came out in the mid 70s with Stallone. David Prowse played Darth Vader and he was a bodybuilder. He even helped train Christopher Reeve (who bulked up quite a bit) for the first Superman movie. Lou Ferrigno was playing Hulk on television in that decade. There was huge overlap between Hollywood and the bodybuilding scene.
Steroids aren't deadly or dangerous, you would have to take thousands and thousands of milligrams for them to even start to become unsafe. Majorly the fear mongering around steroid use was created in the 90s by congressmen, not actual medical professionals because when actual professionals voiced and testified that steroids have no major adverse side effects and shouldn't be made illegal they were still made illegal to save face because the USA was caught using them in the Olympics and for other reasons.
@@OhNehNee the guy didn't even try without steroids, and he had more time than usual. He knew about the role in may 2019, and finished recording in October 2021. That's around a year and a half, and the shirtless scenes would be the last ones to shoot. At the very least he could have looked better if he had actually tried.
@@land_shark_maw1048 I was referring to the op's comment saying he has the respect of the natty gang: as part of the natty gang I can confirm he does not have mine.
I think he is also making a point that he is an actor playing a character, not an actor becoming a character. He can give a phenomenal performance, without it being an emotionally-charged identity crisis. For him, this is a job. One he may be passionate about and enjoy dearly, but a job nonetheless. To me, he's basically saying that he isn't going to strain or jeopardize his personal health and well being because of his work. Which is just like what any of us would do. Like...almost all of us work, right? Take my job for example. I have the option to travel to different locations. I choose not to because it would put too much strain on my health and it would lead to burnout. Pattinson not wanting to transform his body into a superhero-type physique is the same thing. It doesn't matter if you make $10M or $10/hr, you still have to prioritize the things that really matter. He's just doing what any normal, average person would do, which is prioritize his wants and needs.
Definitely doesn’t make sense for all jobs. I personally wouldn’t want my emergency surgeon prioritizing his own wants/needs over myself. Like sure doc, if you gotta take a shit just finish my brain surgery so I don’t die first. And honestly, actors/actresses have done far far worse for a role. Putting on a couple pounds is light work and considering the gravity of the role he got you would think he would put more effort into it. No matter how good the movie is (fucking amazing might I add) whenever I look at Pattinson in the bat suit I feel like I could fuck him up. Dudes 120 pounds soaking wet.
The fact that Robert Pattinson said nobody was working at in the 1970s and then references James Dean who was a 1950s actor doesn't prove his point at all. It actually works against him.
It's also the early days of Batman he played in the movie. And that's also the most realistic version of a person specializing in detective work and as a fighter.
I feel like all the batman physiques fit the mood of there respectful batmen. A super jacked Patterson Batman would have almost killed the vibe of that version, and on the flipside a smaller lithe/agile fighter build probably wouldn't look as dangerously imposing as Afflecks bat.
Pattinson's Batman is a return to the old school detective version of Batman, not the James Bond action hero Batman. He's as fit as he needs to be in order to fight when he has to, but most of the movie he's solving things with his brain. Ironically we see at the end Batman injecting himself with Bane's Venom in order to get his second wind, which may be a subtle nod to the expectation that people expect him to be a bulked up tank, but the reality is that he's more focused on being mentally agile and strong rather than physically agile and strong.
Batman doesn’t take steroids. Neither should Pattinson. Batman is a fictional character who built his physique over the course of many years due to rigorous daily training. Pattinson is professional actor who only had a select amount of months to physically prep while also acting, and he chose to do it naturally rather than take steroids. That’s commendable.
@@sjsh5837 Not only that, but they clearly have no idea about the physique an actor can realistically achieve with a natural regimen and a short amount of time. Not only is Pattinson’s physique perfect for a younger and leaner Year 2 Batman, but it’s commendable considering he achieved it naturally rather than through steroid use.
I don't think people who workout a lot are part of the problem but here's where i agree with Robert، he's right about something, people nowadays instantly think of a strong man as that ripped, extremely muscular man with veins all about to explode, and while it is impressive to reach that shape, its not necessarily the example of strength, strength definitely required hard Work, byt being ripped is more of an aesthetic matter than is it a matter of strength, you look at guys like Daniel Cormier for example, fat dude with a belly, but then you got Chris Hemsworth, literally thor, you'd instantly think Chris us stronger, but the reality is, that fat dude Cormier would mop the floor with him. That's because Daniel is stronger, why ? Because he works harder, and he trains harder, he doesn't look like thor, but would ragdoll thor.
