BATTY NEW BATMAN DOES MANUAL LABOR! Cute and clueless ROBERT PATTINSON has raised eyebrows for weird ramblings before, but this gem from the Twilight vampire is downright batty: “I love finding something where I have absolutely no idea how to do it,” says the next Batman. “I don’t approach parts if there’s something relatable. If I was going after parts which seem somehow relatable to my real self, I would be consistently playing chronically insecure losers.” Harsh. Fun fact: Rob’s current flick The Lighthouse is his fourth film that depicts the hunk engaging in scenes of sexual self-pleasure! “In the last three or four movies, I’ve got a masturbation scene,” he ponders. “I did it in High Life.
