Stars of The Batman have taken to the red carpet as part of the celebrations at the glamorous London premiere.

Robert Pattinson, 33, led the way at the glitzy screening, as he was seen looking dapper in a black turtleneck and oversized tweed blazer, The Sun reports.

Pattinson has taken over from Ben Affleck as the iconic superhero for The Batman – the latest instalment in the iconic superhero’s story.

The Batman is set to be the franchise’s longest film yet, coming in at almost three hours, and is finally due to hit Australian cinemas on March 3 after more than two years in production.

Pattinson has previously revealed how he was almost pushed to breaking point by the film’s “control freak” director Mark Reeves.

Insiders say New York-born Reeves forced the Twilight star to do upwards of 50 takes inside the bulky Batman suit, leaving him, and the crew, exhausted.

The source said: “Filming has been a gruelling process, especially for Robert, as Matt is such a perfectionist.

“He’ll insist on doing scenes over and over again and get bogged down in the tiny detail. Some­times it’s like he doesn’t know when to stop.”

Reeves directed Cloverfield in 2008, 2014’s Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes and its 2017 sequel War For The Planet Of The Apes.

The source continued: “Matt has done block­busters before, but this is another level.

“Batman is arguably the most popular superhero of all and by the time the film is released it will be the Dark Knight’s first solo movie in 10 years.

“Warner Bros can’t afford for the fanbase to be disappointed and have thrown ($168 million) at the film. No one is denying that this is a high-stakes production and that Matt is feeling the pressure to get it right.

“But Robert has had a tough time on these franchise movies before. He hated Twilight by the time it wrapped, and the last thing anyone wants is for him to become jaded.”
