Small Frightened Soyboy Chosen to Play Batman, Robert Pattinson, Refuses to Work Out and Lift Weights For Role Because He Doesn't Want to Set "Precedent" That Actors Playing Superheroes Should Be In Shape

"Batman" takes on the real problem -- "body image."

Turns out the one enemy Batman couldn't bear to face was Leg Day.

Or Chest Day.

Or even Bicep Day.

"The Batman" star Robert Pattinson told GQ magazine that he's not exercising at all while quarantined.

The actor said that the trainer hired by Warner Bros. gave him a Bosu ball and a weight, but he's "just barely doing anything," especially compared to costar Zoë Kravitz who's been working out five days per week.

"I think if you're working out all the time, you're part of the problem," Pattinson added, saying that such actors "set a precedent" for others.

"The Batman" star Robert Pattinson says he refuses to workout while quarantined, and thinks that people who exercise frequently are "part of the problem."

"I think if you're working out all the time, you're part of the problem," Pattinson, who stars as Bruce Wayne/Batman in Matt Reeves' upcoming movie, said in a new cover story for the June/July 2020 issue of GQ magazine.

"You set a precedent," Pattinson said of fellow actors.

In related news, he was hired to be First Swabbie at The Dispatch, replacing Jim Swift, who was immediately demoted to his old position of Assistant Swabbie in Training.

So anyway, they've now decided that Batman will be emasculated and androgynized.

I smell a Kathleen-Kennedy-level success a-brewing here.

I don't know if you saw this, but last week, the singer Adele posted pictures of herself after her weight loss -- she lost a lot of weight -- and was accused of "fat shaming" her fans who were still fat.

This society is mentally ill and lunatic societies do not prosper. They usually don't even survive.

BTW, I know there's a lot of news. I thought people might like a break with a lighter story.
