Just days after filming resumed on “The Batman” at studios outside London, it shut down again after the film’s star, Robert Pattinson, tested positive for the coronavirus, according to two people with knowledge of the production. In a statement on Thursday, Warner Bros. confirmed that filming was “temporarily paused” and that “a member of ‘The Batman’ production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols.”Warner Bros. declined to comment beyond the statement issued. In the title role, Mr. Pattinson, 34, plays a young Bruce Wayne early in his career as the DC comic-book vigilante. Work on the film first shut down in March because of the pandemic, which has staggered the entertainment industry. Filming began last September.
