Knee jerk entitled fanboys will start throwing temper tantrum on the internet.

When you look beyond his Twilight movies, his filmography pretty solid and I did like him in The Rover, The Lost City of Z, and Good Time. On top of that, Christopher Nolan also cast him in his next untitled film.

Well most of those highly regarded film directors see him in a different light than your opinion.

Not saying he is perfect casting but wait till the finished movie to be the deciding factor.

Likewise, Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck and Heath Ledger also deems as dumpster fire casting choice by salty fanboys.

I would surmise majority won't seek out his impressive indie creds. Check out the vid for his range of works.

IMO he is one of those "chameleon" actor who can totally disappear in a role. He took ownership of The Rover and Good Time, just don't see anyone can replace him in those roles.

We live in a time when Common and Halle Berry went all in to train for John Wick films. So playing Batman is all a matter how much work being put into it. There some buzz on his next film that just premier in Cannes for his performance.

Pattison confirmed!

Paul Dano = The Riddler

Jeffrey Wright = Commissioner Gordon

Very Samurai Batman like the anime.

That batmobile drew inspiration from Sean Murphy's White Knight who likes to draw muscle car in his storyline. Yes it's confirmed this is a greenhorn Batman who still figuring stuffs out and multi villain arc ala The Long Halloween.

Take a chill pill. It's anyone's guess how well and bad this Batman gonna be. At least wait until the trailer drops then only raise your pitchfork...

Pretty sure the trailer broke the internet. Stoke that Paul Dano is the lead villain. Think you can catch a glimpse of Penguin in one of the cutaway. Getting serious Long Halloween vibe from what they're after.

Internet sleuths deciphering the trailer. If it's a trilogy they are planning, can see them using Court of Owls arc as final chapter to keep the theme of hidden hand influencing Gotham's corruption.

It's Year 2 Batman, he is still the rough around the edges version. It's charting his progression to be the full fledged Batman as mentioned by the film director's talk during the Fandome event. Not saying your point is not fair, just that they are portraying a different iteration. Batfleck also out of character with his branding of criminals and not holding back using firearms...just saying!

Just talking through my speculative ass, a follow-up sequel could based on Hush which again a multi villain arc that redefined things we comes to know about the Wayne's childhood trauma. As the rabbit hole leads to Court of Owls in the 3rd film. Also do wonder will Andy Serkis's Alfred takes inspiration from the Earth One version, his assertive VO kinda indicates he is not the servant type of butler. The Earth One Alfred, a badass ex-soldier who mentors Bruce Wayne rather than a caretaker.

So the internet broken again by Batman trailer....

They managed to give a personality to the batmobile. It's like a character in it's own, sorta like Nolan's Tumbler. Every trailer, there's drop the mic moments. The first one with unhinged punching of the joker thug. The second one with body tanking machine guns and the upside down walking pose. Now you have that car flipping and the fight at the end of trailer. MCU just crammed your screen with inconsequential cgi. Guess that's the difference between director-centric and studio-centric filmmaking. Also there's a rumour that Barry Keoghan is in an undisclosed villain role.

None of the Nolan's Batman are R-rated. You get r-rated for nudity, strong language and excessive violence. Just some over reacting internet morons got twisted in their panties. There are a lot of edgy movies that are pg13 but looks very much r-rated. Venom, first Suicide Squad, Edge of Tomorrow, etc...

Pretty intense clip.

First of all temper your expectations, this is not a crowd pleasing superhero movie. You don't get to see the playboy Bruce Wayne but just a very recluse Batman. He is the shadow that stalks you and still working out his psychological issues. Well Paul Dano's Riddler is one anxiety inducing villain and a capable foil to Batman's righteousness. To a large extent, the action sequences is not the main focus. it's the building up of Riddler terrorizing Gotham city. It's a very dense movie with many moving parts. Don't expect this is a fast paced movie, especially the second act. Catwoman and her chemistry with Batman is very sensual. Then the side characters like Alfred, Gordon, Penguin, and etc...were given enough emphasis to the mystery. At the end, you get to see a pivotal character growth to Pattinson's Batman. This is more like a 70's crime thriller as supposed to modern crash, bang, boom eye candy like MCU. I would believe this movie directed by David Fincher or Darren Aronofsky. So I'm really digging it and there's plenty of room for Pattinson to shape this Batman further as he transition to wearing the Bruce Wayne mask after his psychhological breakthrough. From comic book perspective, it's a pastiche of Batman Ego, The Long Halloween and Batman Year One all roll into one movie.

This movie is the testament why MCU will never get the critical prestige it was hoping to get. The filmmaking craft is something the mouse house can never achieve. This movie also shows you don't have to relegate good actors to just inconsequential secondary roles. Even limited screen presence Peter Sarsgaard and John Turturro able to act and be integral to the overall narrative. Greg Fraser's cinematography is in Roger Deakins level. The score by Michael Giacchino provide something different from the usual Hans Zimmer copycats and it's awesome. Pretty sure this movie will get nominated multiple times during awards season for technical achievements.

I've been scouring some press junket vids. So 2 HBO shows, "Gotham" focus on Batman Year One timeline and 2nd show is about Arkham. Riddler's cell mate was caught by Batman during year one. A deleted scene will be published near home release about Batman interrogating the cell mate.Should a sequel forthcoming, Matt Reeves want to explore Mr.Freeze.

Well...you are not a man of culture! No shame in admitting you are unsophisticated...lol...

It looks like Lee Bermejo illustration came alive. The exaggerated lips scarring. The other disfigurement shows someone took a dive in an acid pool. Glad Barry Keoghan killing it and supposed how much noise this will make to guarantee him in sequel.
