Shrug he's making millions of dollars in less than a year so cry me a river. I also think he looks really unattractive as batman.

That’s because he is really unattractive.

He looks like Daniel Radcliffe cosplaying as Trent Reznor here.

This comment rubs me the wrong way. Making millions doesn't make him immune from abuse.

What about this article implies the director's behavior is abusive? 50 takes sounds incredibly difficult in the costume, I'll give you that, but many jobs are incredibly difficult - at least RP is being compensated incredibly well for his hard work. Most people work much more menial, back-breaking jobs and will never in their lifetimes make what Robert Pattison makes in a single day of filming. A lot is being asked of him and they're paying for it. I don't want to handwave away bad behavior but having to do a scene 50 times doesn't immediately equate abuse to me without more context or information.

A lot of directors are assholes on a power trip who make people suffer for no good reason other than they can but I feel like that's a leap when all we have to go on is "RP has to redo this scene 50 times to get it right". Does this dude have a history of being a monster to work with?

I don't think we have enough information to say whether it's abuse or not, but comments that are basically "he can't complain, because he's making a lot of money" are kind of dismissive of the possibility that something shitty might be going on.

And I think he just had COVID, unless I'm confusing my superhero movie actors.

I think everyone's jumping to conclusions - there has to be a medium between "shut the fuck up and take it, rich boi" and "this director is abusing his actor for shits and giggles, what an asshole". I don't deny that 50 takes is a LOT and if he's being an asshole/yelling at RPatz Shelly Duval style, that's fucked for sure, but when you're spending $100 mil on a movie and filming a pivotal scene, you better make sure you get the damn shot. Maybe Marion Cottillard should have done her own Batman death scene 50 times over... I bet she wishes she had tbh

I think the line that signals bullying/abuse is “It’s like sometimes he doesn’t know when to stop” especially when coupled with someone reaching their breaking point because of it.
