Could He Be the Next Batman?


I'm reading that he's top of the list of actors being considered at the moment, and, you know what, I think they could do a lot worse.

Obviously, Jon Hamm would be the dream choice, but that's not going to happen, since they want a younger Batman, so, I'll say this: I could live with Pattison as Batman.

Me too. Great chiseled face, big huge square shoulders, nice and tall. And his acting work outside of Twilight is actually pretty good. And he's gonna bring a lot of ladies to the theater and box office matters.

Finally an actor who truly looks and feels like Batman, Pattinson is easily the most physically intimidating actor for Batman, I always imagined him as a monster in the Frankenstein story actually, watch his film The Lighthouse, he's also probably going to be the tallest of all Batmans. You dont need to be bulky to be Batman, actually the opposite would be more interesting for being cunning like a snake and stealth-like, like a bat. Notice how much Pattinson looks like someone who has two sides to him, living two kinds of lives, like there's a hidden shadow side that is very attractive, it's seen especially in Twilight.

Defending Robert Pattinson’s Batman Casting: He’s Way More Than A ‘Twilight’ Heartthrob

Affleck is pretty tall, I doubt Pattison is taller.

I don't understand the John Hamm thing. Outside of Don Draper his acting is very weak, hardly deep enough to do two characters in the same movie. Three really, Batman, Bruce Wayne and the public persona of Bruce Wayne.

Don't believe the hype. This foreign born former two franchise actor is on a short list but his team tried to force the studio into giving him the job with their PR push yesterday. The foreign born actor who has a current box office bomb is still the odds on favorite.

Is Batman your favorite movie? I've noticed that you often post in the Bat threads. 🦇

Was the OP Malkovitch? Whoever you were -- it looks like you were right.

This is the kind of casting that makes me wonder how many other actors turned the role down.
