The Batman actor and star Robert Pattinson, who is set to play the billionaire playboy aka Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne/Batman, in the upcoming Matt Reeves-directed film, has been diagnosed with Covid-19. This has caused the film to halt its shooting schedule to allow for the actor's recovery. News of this case comes mere days after filming of The Batman had resumed following the global pandemic severely restricting and halting film productions worldwide.

According to Vanity Fair, Pattinson was the cast member confirmed to test positive with the coronavirus. This comes in light of previous reports that an unknown member of the film's production had tested positive for the virus, though representatives of the film's cast failed to comment any further. Now that Pattinson has been tested positive, he will undergo the period of isolation, usually for around two to three weeks, before he is hopefully healthy enough to return to the set. "A member of The Batman production has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating in accordance with established protocols," said a Warner Bros. spokesperson. "Filming is temporarily paused."
