During the latest episode of the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, Hoult was asked how his journey with auditioning for The Batman affected him before going in for another superhero franchise like James Gunn"s DC Universe. As happy as Hoult was to see that Pattinson was the right choice, the former X-Men star made it clear that it was an emotional rollercoaster to go through as he shared the following:

Yeah, of course it is an emotional blow because your imagination doesn"t know! [laughs] You"re aware on a practical level. You"re like, "I know that I"m auditioning against Rob," and Rob"s fantastic in that movie. I think that was the right decision but also, you get excited about the prospect - Matt"s a fantastic director, and the script and everything I was like, "This is going to be a cool movie. I want to be part of it, and a brilliant character." So then there"s obviously a weird period before you can get to the acceptance and see the movie and be like, "Oh yeah that works, that was the right choice." You have to go through the period of like, "Oh what could I have done differently?" You run through all those things, obviously.
