Now, Robert Pattinson is clapping back at critics.

In an interview with GQ, he said he had been working out twice a day to prepare for the role.

“[Everyone was like], ‘You didn’t work out at all.’ I worked out every f***** day," he hit back.

“Even after that, I still look like I didn’t work out," the actor quipped.

"I worked out twice a day at, like, three o’clock in the morning," Pattinson shared his fitness schedule.

"I’m like, It’s just because I said it in an interview [once that exercise was uncool]. I was trying to sound cool!”

As The Batman sequel gears up for production, Pattinson seems to have a problem: he has no idea when filming will begin.

In what appears to be a casual manner, he said a stunt coordinator recently told the production could involve "11 weeks of nights."

Pattinson's response was, "I’m like, ‘Excuse me?’ I’m like, ‘No one’s even sent me a schedule.'"

In the meantime, The Batman: Part II was quietly delayed previously. But as the schedule is reportedly in place, the makers dropped a first look at 'Batmobile' as a tease earlier.
