The actor has been working out extensively and maintaining a disciplined routine to embody the Dark Knight.
Comicbasics further clarifies that Pattinson follows a twice-daily workout schedule, sometimes starting very early in the morning, despite widespread misconceptions fueled by his earlier remarks on exercise.

Superherohype adds that Pattinson continues to train at home in anticipation of The Batman: Part 2, even as the production faces delays and an unclear filming timetable. Although the actor has not yet received an official shooting schedule, it is expected the sequel will involve demanding commitments, including several weeks of night shoots.
