Robert Pattinson isn't a typical leading man, in many ways, and in an extraordinary new interview published by GQ shows off the oddball energy he is bringing to The Batman (which has halted production) and Christopher Nolan's next film, Tenet. Here are some of the highlights from the long, strange interview.

While Batman has typically been a pretty muscular, bulky screen presence, Pattinson admits in this interview that he has not been working out during his isolation in London. "I think if you’re working out all the time, you’re part of the problem," he tells GQ. "No one was doing this in the ’70s. Even James Dean--he wasn’t exactly ripped." Pattinson says that while co-star Zoe Kravitz has reportedly been working out five days a week, he is "barely doing anything," ignoring his trainer's advice.

This could mean that we'll see a different kind of Batman in the upcoming film, one with less muscle--and perhaps quite unique, judging by some of Pattinson's comments. "I kind of like the fact that not only are there very, very, very well-done versions of the character which seem pretty definitive, but I was thinking that there are multiple definitive playings of the character," he says. "I was thinking, it’s fun when more and more ground has been covered. Like, where is the gap? You’ve seen this sort of lighter version, you’ve seen a kind of jaded version, a kind of more animalistic version."
