This is Batman year two. Calm your tits.
Catwoman casting is questionable tho, I could care less about Zoe Cravitz after the Fantastics Beasts. Zero onscreen presence.
She's black, or half-black. In our times, that's enough. With the adequate skin color, acting skills or on screen presence are superfluous.
shareI never liked Boston Batman. I love Ben Affleck, i always thought he'd do a good job, but he didn't.
Time for a change. And from the trailer I think it looks good. Plus who would do a better job? Patterson wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd hate to have the job to choose. Keaton was a gamble, they've all been gambles. Give Robbie a chance.
How good do you think Affleck was going to be. When he was hamstring by a horrible script and a horrible director. If Bale had Snyder as his director. The results would not be that good either.
shareYeah I agree. Ben could have been awesome. Snyder did fuck it up. So did all the producers. Was a joint effort at fucking shit up.
shareBut like in all of the Batman movies, it does not matter if the person playing the character do not appear menacing out of the costume. In fact, the more normal they appear the better for Bruce Wayne's character.
Fundamentally, the suits always contain plenty of padding to beef the character up, and the fights and stunts will be done by professional, burly, muscular stuntmen.
Thats pretty much the way its been in all of the movies.
And there has always been an element of over-the-top theatricality to the Batman character. He uses all sorts of tricks and gadgets to try and distract his foes, to intimidate them and instill a sense of fear in them.
Hence why he dresses as a bat.
As Bruce he should wear a fat suit and hobble around with a cane.
sharePattinson is a way more realistic size and shape for someone whose suppose to be a legend-tier fighter like Batman, than how he's been typically portrayed. And I don't understand how it's any more ridiculous for Batman out out muscle a group of men than it is for a 120 lbs Black Widow. No one says her fighting should be kept to a minimum because she isn't blatantly intimidating. And that strange logic shouldn't apply to Batman either. Skill is enough. You don't need to be the biggest guy in the room to kick ass.
shareSkill is enough. You don't need to be the biggest guy in the room to kick ass.
Actually, weight is very important. Unless you're fighting somebody who has not training at all, a guy who is heavier than you will destroy you. That's why boxing has weight categories.
Pattinson would somewhere between lightweight and middleweight. I can go with him beating down a heavyweight in a movie. That doesn't break immersion the way it does watching a skinny girl beating down heavyweights, which has become kind of normal in movies. share
