Within 2 years, there will be ANOTHER Batman film but this time with Twilight star Robert Pattinson. Now I know what you're thinking cause I thought the same thing "who the fuck, thought it was a good idea to have Edward be Batman?" For quite a period during the Twilight Saga that girls and fanboys flocked to root for Team Jacob & Team Edward, talk about a rivalry that made people laugh than anything else. However, from recent photos that have been roaming, they're already giving fits to how Pattinson looks in the suit. The question I have is "How good of shape is he going to be in?"
The training this time around isn't going to get him to look no more than 185-190 at best and looking more than a tweaked looking Tarzan from what I have read but than again what can you truly believe these days. They're more concerned about how the suit will fit because for a new film, they have to gear towards the guy's shape which I can understand but putting a ton of muscle on a guy that hasn't been seen with that kind of physique is going to be tricky, not impossible but it should be interesting.
Each Batman over the decades have gone through extreme changes in how they train to be the caped crusader: Michael Keaton barely did any workouts to be believable but did a hell of a job with the role, Val Kilmer was ok but had a physique that resembled more like Adam West from the 60's, we NEVER, ever speak of George Clooney, Christian Bale had the best physique of all the batmans of the last 30 years even though he was 20 pounds shy of the Character's actual weight and is probably the best Batman to date. Ben Affleck did a decent job and looked in ok shape but he had far more potential and we were left wondering "what if?"
I have my doubts as to how this will play out with Pattinson and I hope they train him right because any lean guy can put on the suit but how you present the physique on screen that captures the synergistic affirmations with the suit itself is a whole other ball game and it can make or break that actor. I'm going to take it for what it is but many people are just going to look at him as the pale and sparkly vampire. He's not particularly the kind of actor I like watching but being in a superhero film can flip that a 180 like they did with Affleck.
Now training to be Batman in this case isn't realistic for the average person and Pattinson will get his ass kicked into shape hard. Most people can't train 2 hours a day and do things so intense it'll make you throw up just by the site of how hard that person is being pushed. Training like the Dark Knight takes a level of conditioning many don't know how to get to but it can be attained with basic principles and a solid progression system. Bodyweight Training is perfect for this kind of thing and with a little imagination, you can transform your physique into something to be proud of and do so without paying a dime to a gym, trainer or coach.
Darebee.com has over 1000 workouts to choose from and they range from super easy to highly advanced, all within the comfort of your own home. They take the most basic exercises and mold them into workouts that are tough as hell but fun to do. The Circuit based workouts take only minutes a day to complete and they can be done daily or a few times a week. The Batman workout from this system is one of those tough ones where you can progress with various levels but at its peak, it's one of the best conditioning workouts ever and it's very simple to do. A full 10 Round Workout shouldn't take you more than 45 minutes to complete. I've done it within 35 where's little to no rest.
As you can see, it may not look that hard but once you get into it, it's a wake up call. You're working practically everything in this workout and it'll make you crazy fit in no time.

Hi Ben, I think we know Patterson will most likely take those "special supplements ( Vitamin S😁 ) that actors take in Hollywood to magically gain lean mass in a short time.
I'm not much of a Superhero fan at all, but if I had to choose my favourite Batman it would actually be Adam West, as I think the campness yet entirely serious character West created was hilarious. Also if I had to choose a favourite "Superhero" movie it would be the original Punisher movie with Thomas Jayne, although some fanboys probably don't consider the Punisher a "real" Superhero. Don't want to ruin your enjoyment of Superhero movies,as I know you are a big fan, but there is some strong evidence on the free speech/truth type sites on the internet that a very lot of the actor's who play the Superheros ( and most actors in other Hollywood movies in general ) are deceiving the public to what they actually are, let's just say it's not about "lies" in the accepted sense of the word but lies that when you wake up to them it will blow your mind, but it cant be denied once you know what to look for.This is the reason why I'm now VERY selective in my movie viewing, preferring older European movies to the Hollywood movies after finding out the "secret" of the Hollywood actors.
What do you think of DVR movements? I'm incorporating some into my calistenic and MMA workouts instead of isometrics? Do you think they are "moving isometrics" as some people say? Thanks.
Keep training dude, you are doing well.
And always remember to gain strength from the weakness,jealousy, and hatred and bigotry that festers in sewer dwellers from pathetic little forums.
The chances of him taking the S is highly likely and I'm not doubting that at all, just wanted to give a representation of the possibilities cause the guy isn't all that big to begin with and he's not going to put on 100 lbs of muscle as this film is shooting lol. Adam West for all intents and purposes was the actual height and weight for Batman and is the tallest of all that have played Batman. I know there are lies about hollywood, it's mandatory. They only show the public what they want them to see and at times they slip up but they're very conceded for the most part. I'm just a movie buff as much as the next guy and what they do to themselves isn't surprising to me and I leave it as just enjoying the work. I've been a superhero fan since the freaking Ninja Turtles man lol, it's just a part of my life. DVRs are awesome when you are short on time and want to have a workout that is more towards Physical Meditation. I haven't done a workout with them in a long time and from my experience they're a bit boring and can be draining, I always feel slightly sleepy after doing a workout. Some call them Moving Isometrics but that's really an oxymoron as like saying pushups are wrist benders (even though that's more redundent) or calling Squats butt downs lol. I call DVRs Moving Muscle Control.
In my humble opinion Pattinson is the most beta and feminine of the actors to play Batman. Hope he doesn't have a sewing kit in his pink utility belt LOL! The producers could have chosen somebody better.
