New Batman Inspired By Kurt Cobain

Undoubtedly, the new Batman movie ‘The Batman’ is among the most anticipated productions of 2022. Featuring great actors such as Robert Pattinson, Colin Farrel, Jeffrey Wright, Paul Dano, Zoe Kravitz and Andy Serkis, the film aims to make us look at the dark knight of the DC universe from a different perspective.

The director of the movie, Matt Reeves, is constantly making new statements about this situation. In his statements last week, Reeves stated that the Batman we will see in the new movie will be the scariest Batman ever adapted for the big screen. The American director has now announced that this character was inspired by a famous rock star.

Written by Bruce Wayne, inspired by Kurt Cobain

In an interview with Empire, the 55-year-old director stated that the character of Bruce Wayne, played by Robert Pattinson, was inspired by Kurt Cobain, lead singer and guitarist of the famous alternative rock and grunge band Nirvana. Reeves; He added that the world-famous rock star, who committed suicide in 1994, had a huge impact on creating such a different Batman and Bruce Wayne:

“I like to listen to music while writing the script. While writing the first part of the movie, I opened Nirvana’s song ‘Something In the Way’. At this time; Instead of making Bruce Wayne the classic ‘playboy’ we’ve seen many times before, I thought of creating a character who lived through a great tragedy and went into seclusion. Inspired by Gus Van Sant’s movie “The Last Days” about Kurt Cobain, I transformed the character of Bruce Wayne into a character inspired by Kurt Cobain. ”

‘Robert Pattinson was the ideal person to play Batman’

The famous director also talked about Robert Pattinson. Reeves said that after watching the movie ‘Good Times’ released in 2017, he was amazed by Pattinson’s performance and understood the ideal person for the role of Batman at that time: “You can feel both the helplessness and power of Pattinson’s character in that movie. I thought this situation was very suitable for Batman. Well; I thought the Bruce Wayne character might have a ‘rock star’ feel like Kurt Cobain, but also have a reclusive life. ”

The American director once again underlined that such a Batman has never been seen before, stating that everyone will understand what he means when they watch the movie. The fact that the name behind the film made such statements made many fans even more excited. ‘The Batman’, which looks like a very interesting Batman movie, will meet with moviegoers on March 4, 2022 and will show us how the dark knight was transferred to the big screen.
