Let Michael Keaton play the old batman manning the cave alfred style and a new young actor play that role.

It’s 2019. Time to get with the times and expand what Bruce Wayne can be. HEEEYYYYYY!

What the DC universe really needs is some Asian american sassyness, and Awkwafina is my front runner.

I actually like the idea of bringing Keaton back.   

And id be good with Will Arnett going from LEGO Batman to DCEU Batman.   Have him be his LEGO Batman character plus his Flaked character.  

Wait, Flaked maybe his real persona.   He’d be perfect.

Kumar should play Wayne. He’s heavily investing in marijuana stock.

The next batman discussion begins and ends with Chris Pratt.

Warner Bothers booted their studio chief, just as AT&T is taking over.  Will affect DC stuff, but nobody knows how.  WB has had some recent issues, and Shazam better pull its weight and then some.

Warner Bros are Team Edward it seems. Ghost of Tom Joad will be pleased.

Robert Pattinson Cast as The Batman for Director Matt Reeves

Pre-production could begin this summer.

The Batman

 

 

Twilight star Robert Pattinson will reportedly star in the title role in The Batman, director Matt Reeves' upcoming DC Comics movie.Variety reports that pre-production begins this summer. Matt Reeves is still polishing the script.

"No official start date has been set for The Batman. Insiders tell Variety filming could start in late 2019 or early 2020," according to the trade.

Pattinson will be the sixth actor to play the modern incarnation of the Dark Knight on the big screen since Michael Keaton starred in 1989's Batman. He succeeds Ben Affleck in the role, who bowed out after playing the Dark Knight in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. Robert Pattinson will play the title role in The Batman. Pattinson's next movie will be Christopher Nolan's next film, which also stars John David Washington.

His film credits include not only his star-making turn as vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise, but in more recent years he has appeared in such indie films The Lost City of Z, High Life, Maps to the Stars, and Queen of the Desert.

The Batman swings into theaters June 25, 2021.

I have no issue with Pattinson or the director, but the issue with all of this is that you are chasing the dragon in that Batman peaked with Nolan and no one will ever top it.

Just like Star Wars will never top the OT. Just like no one cast as Iron Man will ever top RDJ. 

I get it's a business but my expectations are low. Maybe that's a good thing and I can be surprised at a decent film. 

[Patrick Bateman 3,918]

The issue with Pattinson is he hasn't shown the physical chops nor the proper physique to realistically look like a half crazy vigilante with "wonderful toys".  His rep is also as an emo tweener heavy petting symbol.  Now guys can break out of that stereotype (Leo and others attest) and certainly has been trying with his indie career.  Additionally, I'm sure they can bulk him if he's ready for it.  He's the proper age but this is an..... interesting choice.

 

[ChickenSandwich 9,844]

Might as well have cast Harry Potter. This looks like the Amazing Spider-Man. Meh

[Nivek 16,949]

Henry Cavill should be Batman and Superman.

[Hook1997 5,397]

Can Affleck come back cause that has to be better then this is going to be I think...

God dammit - why can't they get this right.  F-it, someone call Cowboy Cerrone.  

[Fozzz 152]

They should have gone with that guy who played the joker in Suicide Squad.  He could be a good Batman.

[Neonmoon 38,130]

Keaton and Bale are complete opposites physically, but had something in common that made them both good choices for Batman. They’re both incredible actors. 

Ben Affleck - nope 

Robert Pattinson...

[Fozzz 152]

Which one was the Batman with the nipple suit?  Kilmer?  They should bring that back along with Mr Freeze, the best bad guy in any of the Batman movies.

That's right.  It's funny, but I think you can draw a straighter line between the Schumacher Batman stuff and the current stream of MCU releases than from other 90s comic book movies.

Great idea. They need to bring back Val Kilmer as Batman.  

The world needs Fat Bat.

Bat Suit’s got pleats and verticals stripes. 

[Parliament 14,272]

Aflac did a good Batman. Old and disenfranchised.

[MoJames 8,244]

I don't see it, but whatever. I doubt I'll spend any money on it.

[nineliveslost 2,789]

I know im in the minority but i liked Afleck as Batman.

[mdmost 43,011]

Affleck's Batman was certainly better than Affleck's Daredevil. Shudder.

at least marvel didn't put nipples on iron man

[MoJames 8,244]

So now with a decent amount of movies by both the DC and MCU groups, who would you guys say is winning? And would you say hiring Diggory helps DC?

[Patrick Bateman 3,918]

I actually had no issue with Affleck's Batman.  The issue was the material, not really with Ben.  

This is just so fucking odd, I think he could have made a cool villain.

This was sarcastic and posted 3 months ago? Why am I getting neg reps on it today?

[Murfdogg21 4,413]

I remember Christian Bail saying that he would consider reprising the role but they were ready to move on from him post-Nolan. Seems weird they’d dump one of the top 2 (or 3 depending how much you love Adam West) batmen for this vampire tranny. DC keeps screwing up their Supermen too. At least they locked down a hottie for WW. 

[PilotsError 2,312]

I wouldn't hire Christian Bail either.
