During the segment, Pattinson referred to Batman as “the granddaddy of superheroes and the most relevant and important,” making the comparison while pairing the film with an Old Fashioned. He said, “Well since I started doing the part, you look into the kind of legacy of it. So many people have seen it, there’s characters that look like the Batman in like ancient civilizations.”

The actor added, “I mean there’s something about that face that’s a very deep and primal thing. It connects to people, it connects to children, it connects to adults, and then the legacy of the movies as well.”

Speaking about director Matt Reeves, Pattinson said, “I love Matt Reeves… I think he is incredible at making blockbusters that don’t feel like you’re being shortchanged, that feel very interesting.”

Everyone kind of like stays out the way. I mean it’s kind of amazing,” the actor said.

Pattinson was most recently seen alongside Zendaya in The Drama, which has been released in theaters.
