Most of the Batman movies involves stories and titbits of comics such as Batman: Year One and Batman: The Long Halloween.

During the chat with the leading daily, the actor revealed he was willing to understand the billionaire and his motivation to don the cape. He said, "In the Christopher Nolan movies, it was kind of addressed in a pragmatic way and kind of explained pretty well." But he was "trying to find a different angle on it." Pattinson further revealed he read the comic books Batman: Shaman and The Man Who Falls to understand the character better.
