Are they just going "alright, we can't make movies better than Marvel so we'll just throw out ones until people get sick and tired of comic book movies." Are you Frkin' serious? Is someone intentionally sabotaging Worlds of DC? I will never consider watching Batman if Pattinson is Bruce Wayne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaHuman Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) I did a quick Google check. Pattinson is 1.85 cm tall, or just over 6 feet tall. Compared to the other DC heroes, he would be shorter than both Jason Momoa at 6'4" and Zachary Levi at 6'3". He's taller than Ezra Miller who is 5'11". Gal Gadot is 5'10", but with heels on her boots, she would be at eye level with Pattinson or a little taller. Edit: Forgot to add that Henry Cavill is only 6'1". So he could look Supes right in the eyes. Also, Michael Keaton is only 5'9" and never had the full head of dreamy hair Pattinson could grow.

When Snyder wanted Ben Affleck, and I know it's more-related to TDKR and not your everyday Batman, but he wanted his Batman to be "physically imposing to Superman" by way of height/weight (because Affleck is 6'4"). I think this Batman trilogy is supposed to be an inclusive event? Like Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. I just don't think it's a good idea since they've already fleshed-out the Justice League.

@therealsilvermane Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Like a lot of other people, I've been over movie Batman for a while, so I don't care that much. But I think Robert Pattinson is actually a decent choice. He gets too much unfair flack for the awful Twilight series which he himself hated. Apparently he's better in his other movies which I've never seen. He looks the part, anyway, whatever that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 He's not that much better in other movies. He's a mediocre actor. Batman deserves much better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he is far from being on the top of my Batman actor list, I have to trust in Matt Reeves as the producer, screenwriter and director. He's not a lightweight when it comes to producing solid films. There must be something there that he is at the top of the list. Though it will be interesting if then Reeves selects someone else.

@therealsilvermane Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I also think fan folks historically have taken the casting of Batman way too seriously. I mean, it actually doesn't take that much to play Batman. Just play brooding and gloomy, lighten up a bit when play acting as Bruce Wayne and you've got it. The actor who put the most nuance into his performance as Batman is actually Adam West, with Michael Keaton a close second. The villains are the ones who actually need more thought with casting, imo. With Batman movies, I think it's all about who is making the movie. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like this rumor/casting at all. I think Batman deserves better. Ok, you’re right, we might just disagree. Batman is my all time favorite character and I have been anticipating this announcement for a long time. As for “deserving better” I would have needed to be in that casting room and saw everyone’s audition to really have an informed perspective on which actor deserves the role the most. To me, the best Batman was already cast, which was Michael Keaton. So I’m not looking for anyone to be the best, I guess. Just something new. Of all the rumors I’ve seen nothing has really turned me off. Perhaps I’m just easier to please in this category. And I’m not a hater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
