Robert Pattinson has revealed he originally tried doing a different voice when playing Batman but was told to stop because it was “absolutely atrocious”.

The 35-year-old actor, who stars in the new film directed by Matt Reeves, said he had wanted to do the opposite of the caped crusader’s famous “gruff, gravelly” tones.
