Robert Pattinson, fresh off the Batman franchise, spilled the beans on Jimmy Kimmel Live! about a hilarious prep routine—watching real‑life bat fights to nail his villain vibe.
He told co‑star Matt Reeves, “I was watching Bat‑Planet‑Earth footage—think vampire bat vs. chicken. The bat just flap‑banged around for an hour until the chicken slept. Then it sneaks in and snaps.”
Reeves laughed, “Got it!” and the plan was born.
