Robert Pattinson to take over for Ben Affleck as Batman

[Landjones]

Another terrible choice of DCEU.

[Themerlin]

Twilight Boy better have PTSD from his fans after this experience.

[Itori]

There are far better ppl to play batman than sparkly vampire boy aka that one guy from harry potter, or is this hollywood trying to combat "toxic masculinity"?

[draynay]

DC hates money.

[maulgryve]

I thought he did an excellent job in High Life. He will need to bulk up is all.

[oplawlz]

Clooney was the worst.

"Batman credit card! I never leave the cave without it!"

Clooney was fine, the script was awful. Aflec is genuinely bad at playing the character.

[riptal]

Why another Batman why??? Batman already had the best trilogy a super hero could have… Can we just let it alone for a while??????

[Themerlin]

This guy will suck terribly.

Heath Ledger, Michael Keaton (Batman/Batman Returns), Kurt Russel (Escape from New York), there are plenty of times an actor took on a darker role than they're normally known for and it paid off splendidly.

Let us not forget, Bruce Willis was initially turned down for the role of John McClane, because people at the time only saw him as a comedy actor, and didn't think people would accept him as an action hero.

Just, think about that for a second.

[draynay]

I have no idea what the plot of the film entails. Maybe he’s perfect for the role. Time will tell.

If its anything like Spiderman 3, he'd be perfect.

[Jibjub]

Not that I'm saying he's going to be good or bad, but I remember a lot of people (myself included) whom thought heath ledger was going to be a terrible joker. Sometimes people surprise you.

Was gonna say this. I thought that was the worst casting ever. And it turned out to be, perhaps, the single best performance in the history of cinema... Henceforth, I reserve all judgement on casting decisions lol

[prwraith]

I actually enjoyed afleck as batman. It wasn't terrible, it wasn't great either though.

[Laerrus]

Kit Harington would have been a better choice IMO.

Any pick today still won't beat Keaton's Or Bale's versions of the Dark Knight.

[Bodonius]

Sound like a bad idea, a emo boy as batman

[Crillam]

Sure he was in Twiligt, but he has now done so much more than that. He is a really, really good actor.
So yeah, a good choice imo. Now he just has to workout, like a lot.

So fun to read all the hate... 13 year ago the same thing happend to Heath Ledger when he got cast as the joker, and we all know how that turned out.
Or 21 years ago when Hugh Jackman got cast as wolverine. "He is to tall. The broadway guy?" etc...

[Skizzit]

Kit Harington would have been a better choice IMO.

Any pick today still won't beat Keaton's Or Bale's versions of the Dark Knight.

Kit Harington is like 5 and a half feet tall. Could you imagine? A Batman who is dwarfed by The Penguin?

[Gaexion Ramza Beoulve]

Sorry is this the Oscar Isaac Wolverine thread?

How did I get here?

I am not good with computers.

[urasim]

He better start hitting the gym, and fast.

Haha, you make it sound like he's 100 pounds overweight and bed ridden.

[Gallahadd]

Haha, you make it sound like he's 100 pounds overweight and bed ridden.

I think they're trying to say he's too skinny, and Batman needs to be ripped, not that he's fat...

[Knuckle]

IMO Ben Afleck did good as batman. He was the only 1 in BvS I was impressed with.

Now his BATMAN was awful, killing people and not being what batman is all about. But he didn't write what he'd be doing and considering the content of that bad movie I think he did ok. I think he looked the part well.
