I think the movie looks awesome and I can't wait. Robert Pattinson is a good actor. Ridiculous people bring up Twilight, it was over 10 years ago.

Nope. You are not. He is a damn good actor!

He is an exceptional Actor!

The cinema is so good here that it doesn't matter who they cast.

The millennial version of Batman...will he cry when the Bat Signal turns on and the check engine light is on in the Bat Mobile?

Naw, He'll buy $3k worth of mods, install them, and then come back asking if he really needs a TQ wrench to install spark plugs because he just changed his and is having a misfire.

Screw some of you guys, Pattison's a good actor, even in Twilight (my guilty pleasure).😀

He can do dark, like in that latest Johnny Depp movie (AWFUL film, but his role was good).

I dunno about the endless reboots though, did everyone lose their brains in Hollywood or are just lazy?

[Monster335]

I can see Pattinson play The Crow if they wanna remake that movie.

[gio14]

Emo Batman 🤦🏻*♂️ n why did they make him look like the crow. Bad casting...

BM went through re-boot hell back in the 1990's. While the franchise took an 8 yr hiatus between 1997-2005 it was only because WB kept scuttling scripts before settling on Nolan.

The only knock on Pattison is his physical size.
Wayne is allegedly 6'2" and over 215lbs.

Both Jon Hamm (6'1") and Ben Affleck (6'4") have the mass to fill their frame. Pattison at 6'1"(allegedly) is very thin.

Interestingly Bale is only 5'11" but big "aka Fatman" at the beginning of filming.

IMO both Affleck and Bale were great.

I agree with your statements on actors and direction in general, but IMO it’s still on Affleck. At least a big part of it. To his credit, he seems to realize that he’s supposed to play Batman with quiet menace and be all dark and brooding, but he doesn’t pull it off. He just imitates Bale’s growly voice and sort of just gets from fight scene to fight scene very stiffly and even a little thuggishly. He’s a bit better as Wayne but not as suave as Bale was.

One thing I’ll say about Pattinson (his name is misspelled in the title btw) is that he’s probably got the ‘dark and brooding’ part down.

One thing I didn't like about Affleck was his suit. Ben was a huge guy and the muscle piece attached to the front of the suit made him look chubby. Never mind the the suit itself weighed 75lbs.

At times Ben's stuntman looked better than Ben himself.

btw...the bat voice of Bale and Affleck were both tweaked at editing.

I really liked Ben Affleck as the character but after seeing this trailer, Patterson is looking damn good in the role!

Quick note. I read it's an adaptation of Hush. No originality here!

So, with all these critiques here about bad casting, tell us. Who would you replace with? Let's hear it.

Simple. Wes Bently, Michael C Hall (Dexter) or Josh Brolin

I was anticipating a continuation of Affleck as the jaded-batman but in a new original story rather than an adaptation of an existing (BvS had a lot of scenes pulled straight from Miller TDKR, and this new movie appears to be an adaptation of Hush).

I'm with you on this.

Ran across this at lunch. Feaking hilarious.

This is amazing, and I've never seen this.


Back on topic, Pattinson will make a horrible Batman. Just like the DC version with Afflek, I'll pass on this. Bale was the only good recent one.

I'm hearing rumblings from folks on the know... Ben Affleck has already signed a multi movie deal with DC. And depending on how the Snyder Cut of Justice League does... He may return as the Dark Knight. Which is fine by me.
