Im actually glad Robert Pattinson was picked to be the new Caped Crusader. No surprise that alot of people are skeptical about this but with Matt Reeves directing and Pattinson’s acting prowess, this could be something special.

Write it down, this will end up much like Ledger’s casting. It’ll be met with a lot of skepticism and then he’ll knock it out of the park. He’ll be the perfect young Bruce/Batman. Let’s hope Reeves’ script does Pattinson’s acting skills justice. https://t.co/NZ7Efs9B9l

So Robert Pattinson's set to play the new Batman. Let's see how that goes. For now, the ultimate Batman for me is Christian Bale still. Heath Ledger, of course, remains the undisputed, most consummate actor to have ever played the Joker role. Ever. #Batman pic.twitter.com/vnI9r6vfjz

Honestly. I'm okay with Robert Pattinson playing Batman, and I'll definitely be there on its very first showing here…but the whole Batman origin has been played over time and time again…can't I just finally witness a Batman story with the Batfam in it?
