Being skeptical of his acting skills and his body, the early announcements about Matt Reeves’ 2022 film received a lot of backlash. However, when Pattinson donned the role, people stared in wonder at the amazing masterpiece that they had just witnessed.
The Batman earned rave reviews and Pattinson was praised heavily for his acting skills and more. However, it was revealed that Pattinson was paid a considerably low amount of money for his role in the 2022 film!
As per a report by ScreenRant, Pattinson was paid only $3 million for his role in the 2022 film.

According to SCMP, the deal was a multi-year deal that spanned almost 9 years with Pattinson advertising the Dior Homme brand. As per the reports, Pattinson was paid a whopping $12 million for the multi-year deal!
