Here’s why some are convinced Robert Pattinson’s Batman is an MCR fan
We may have to wait until 2022 to see Robert Pattinson as Batman. However, this hasn’t stopped My Chemical Romance fans from convincing the internet that Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne is a massive fan of the group.
This week, fans noticed that Pattinson’s Batman greatly resembles some iconic MCR album artwork. As well, they are convinced he blasts this particular album on the daily in his Batmobile.

There have already been a number of crossover theories and references to Pattinson’s Batman. Last month, Pattinson revealed how his new role greatly compares to his time as Edward Cullen in Twilight.
Now, Batman is getting compared to My Chemical Romance’s Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. Since the unveiling of the first Batman teaser this summer, fans quickly theorized that Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne is also a massive fan of MCR.
In the teaser, Pattinson sports some dark black eye makeup, reminiscent of the Three Cheers era. The minor detail sparked theories about how Bruce Wayne totally has a copy of the 2004 album in his Batmobile.
you know…..I’ve complained about the gritty superhero movie industrial complex in the past but they really just said checkmate and made Batman look like a member of MCR during the three cheers for sweet revenge era Siri play eisley’s “I wasn’t prepared for this” https://t.co/W4mHbQ0x1z

I really like the concept of “What if Bruce Wayne came up with the idea for Batman while listening to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge”.

Then, earlier this week, even more comparisons were made. Batman recently resumed filming after a crew member tested positive for coronavirus. It was reported that Pattinson was the member who contracted the virus, but it has not been confirmed.
Photos from the set were released and fans noticed that Pattinson’s look greatly resembles the Three Cheers album artwork. As well, others notice that the black umbrellas, the stairs and Zoe Kravitz‘s Catwoman outfit are reminiscent of the “Helena” video.

Speaking of Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, the album has re-entered the charts this week. The 2004 LP is at No. 185 on the Billboard 200 ahead of the one year anniversary of MCR’s reunion.
As for Batman, its 2021 release has been pushed back to 2022 due to production delays. Filming resumed this fall and Warner Bros. hopes to wrap production by the end of the year.
