In an interview withEntertainment Weeklyearlier this month, costars Kravitz and Pattinson reflected on their memorable chemistry test together.
“The chemistry read was really intense,” said Kravitz. “Rob was wearing the Batsuit, and it was a proper camera test with the DP there and everything on a soundstage. It wasn’t just reading lines in a room. So it was intimidating, to say the least.”
Pattinson was already cast at that point. He remembered, “The first time I’d even said lines from the script was in Zoë’s screen test. They had this idea that they wanted me to be taller at the beginning, so I basically had high-heeled sneakers on, and I’m tottering around in this strange Batman outfit.”

“The camera’s not even on me, it’s on the back of my head, and I’m literally having this major panic attack, just looking for emotional support from Zoë, who’s trying to get the part,” he continued.
Kravitz said of her onscreen chemistry with theTwilightalum, “There could be a lot going on in a scene, but if I was able to connect with Rob and look into his eyes, it would immediately bring me into the moment. I saw a look in his eye that I hadn’t seen before. Seeing something new and very vulnerable as well was really beautiful.”
