As per the recent speculations, Robert Pattinson is reportedly making something less than $5 million for his role of Bruce Wayne in the upcoming The Batman movie. Usually, it is not disclosed to the public as how much a particular actor is making even before the movie goes into the production. The reason why this speculated digit has surfaced is because of Jonah Hill's involvement with the feature.

Several fans are hoping to see Maniac star Hill playing either Riddler or The Penguin. Several reports are suggesting that Jonah Hill is in talks to play an important character in Robert Pattinson's first superhero movie.
As per the sources, The Batman movie producers wanted Jonah Hill to play an important role in the film from a very long time. However, his casting was kept on hold until the role of Bruce Wayne was filled. As of now, the deal hasn't closed and there are chances that Hill may walk out of this project but everyone involved in the project are trying their best to bring Hill on board, via The Hollywood Reporter.
"The talks with Hill are at an early and sensitive stage, not because of dealmaking but because the two sides can't decide which character the actor will play," the source added.
There are also speculations that Jonah Hill might play either Riddler or The Penguin in the much-awaited movie.
However, things are not looking too well as Jonah Hill is reportedly looking to make a whopping $10 million from The Batman, via CinemaBlend.
