The Batman Halts Production Again After Robert Pattinson Reportedly Tests Positive for COVID-19
Warner Bros: “Filming is temporarily paused.”
The Batman crew member who was diagnosed with coronavirus is reportedly none other than the star himself, Robert Pattinson.
According to Vanity Fair, Robert Pattinson "tested positive for the coronavirus, causing filming of The Batman to be halted just days after the superhero drama resumed work at studios outside of London. Warner Bros. would not comment on any individual worker's health."
And while the studio wouldn't comment on Pattinson or any other crew member's health, WarnerMedia boss Ann Sarnoff told Deadline:
"We’re still in the middle of investigating what is the situation. We’re pausing temporarily for now until we have more information, but we have all the protocols set up to do contact tracing and hopefully get back up into production very soon."

The Batman has shut down production -- again -- due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Warner Bros. announced the temporary work stoppage in a press statement revealing that a crew member had tested positive:
"A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused."

The Batman first shut down production in England last March when industry-wide shutdowns began due to the spread of the deadly COVID-19 virus.
Director Matt Reeves disclosed that filming on The Batman was only about 25% complete at the time of the March stoppage.
Since then, The Batman made a huge splash at August's DC FanDome, revealing the movie's intense first trailer that left us wondering about its mysterious villain and the whereabouts of the Joker, while also clarifying when it's set.
