Robert Pattinson wore "high-heeled sneakers" during Zoë Kravitz's audition for "The Batman ."- Pattinson told
Entertainment Weekly they originally wanted him to be taller.
The only thing that may be more uncomfortable than wearing the Batsuit is donning the suit with heels.
In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Robert Pattinson described the awkward combination of wearing a version of the Caped Crusader's suit with high-heeled sneakers during Zoë Kravitz's audition for March's upcoming "The Batman."

Despite any nerves, the chemistry between the two was apparent to director Matt Reeves ("Dawn of the Planet of the Apes") and Kravitz was cast as an early version of the Batman antiheroine, Selina Kyle.
In "The Batman," Kyle doesn't go by her famous alter-ego, Catwoman, just yet.

"With these iconic characters that we all love so much, it can be overwhelming in terms of, 'OK, now here's Catwoman,'" Kravitz recently told press, including Insider, during a Q&A for the film.
"I have this wonderful opportunity to kind of slowly develop her and the audience gets to come on that journey with me," Kravitz added.
"The Batman," also starring Jeffrey Wright and Andy Serkis is in theaters on March 4.
