“I had about three months before the movie started, and then you train before and after work all the time,” Pattinson revealed.
“You just cut and cut and cut before a few scenes with your shirt off and counting sips of water,” the actor added.
The technique of counting sips of water is used in amateur wrestling for weight loss and by bodybuilders before a big show.

Training: “I had about three months before the movie started, and then you train before and after work all the time,” Pattinson revealed.
An article on muscle and fitness recommends that on the day of the show, a bodybuilder simply take “small sips” of water before considering a technique that Pattinson reflects on Batman’s appearance.
Although he only had a few months to get in shape, he revealed that “Shame is my biggest motivator, 100%.”
When Pattinson was not without a shirt in the film, he was often in his iconic Batsuit, revealing that it helped him connect with the character even more.

“It’s funny because you’re reading the script and spending a lot of time trying to figure out, ‘How can I play this character who’s doing such a daring thing?'” Pattinson began.
“And the closer I got to the pictures, the more paranoid I became – you know, it’s ridiculous when you’re just sitting at home in a T-shirt – and then you put it on. It has elemental power, “he added.
He went on to say that while wearing the suit: “People react differently to you, the crew reacts differently. Your whole world is suddenly changing.

Audacious: “It’s funny because you read the script and spend a lot of time trying to figure out, ‘How can I play this character who does such daring things?'” Pattinson began.
“And then you somehow catch that flash like the subtle reflection or shadow on the floor and you realize that the hero is just a lot bigger than you. It’s like wearing a crown or something, “Pattinson said.
