Another thing; I thought we trusted Matt Reeves as a director? The man hasn't come out with any trash to date.

The Eisenberg comparisons don't work. That's an instance of a questionable and controversial director (Snyder) casting an unusual choice for an iconic character. One sees the angle they were going for with Lex (evil genius silicon valley exec instead of traditional evil genius exec) but the physical appearance and demeanor of the actor didn't fit the nature of the character. It's generally accepted that Eisenberg was a misfire for that and for writing reasons.

Nolan and Reeves aren't questionable or controversial directors, even if you aren't the biggest fan of the DK trilogy.

Let's look at it quantitatively and objectively:

A director known for his polarizing films that are all over the place critically (Snyder) casts an unusual choice for an iconic character (Eisenberg). The actor's physical appearance and mannerisms don't match the character are all.

A director known for his work on quality films (Nolan, Reeves) casts an unusual choice for an iconic character (Ledger, Pattinson). The actor is not known to be a bad or untalented actor. The physical profile and demeanor of the actor are not inconsistent with that of the character (Rob is taller than Bale and Keaton. We presume he will build muscle as Bale did. With Joker it's literally a matter of makeup and hair dye).

And this is in no way comparing Ledger and Pattison's abilities so nobody hit me with that.

All Reeves got to his name are those ape movies. When has he been beyond reproach? Or just automatically trusted with any movie franchise he helms?

Since when are we putting his name next to Christopher Nolan? Nolan got a variety of great work which he earned with more than one movie franchise

I get that you want to say Reeves is not like Snyder and I agree but that doesnt mean that ppl cant question his casting choices.

And what would’ve of been the best choice to play Batman? No matter who was pick to play Batman it was never going to make everyone happy.

Yeah but there are plenty of actors that sre in better standing than Pattinson.

Its not about making everyone happy but clearly you have to know Pattinson woyld get this reaction. Lets not pretend otherwise.

We wouldnt be getting this level of criticism if Jake Gyllenhaal or even Ryan Gosling.

Damn I was hoping for some new villains

 

[slighted]

Kristen Stewart for Catwoman
Taylor Lautner for Penguin

reeves wanted a lot involved iirc, a la comic books so we might see more especially if its going to be detective-centric

articles does specifically say "includes catwoman and penguin"

 

[Master Zik]

It will be nice if we can finally get a Batman that doesn’t become overshadowed by his rogues gallery. Batman Begins was as close as we have gotten imo.

And that's really only cuz Nolan didnt cover the full scope of Ra's Al Ghul.

Made him more of just a mass murdering terrorist with absolute views instead of the centuries old mastermind that is more in line with Thanos.

Yeah I remember that and it didnt sound that different from the script when Battffleck was involved where the movie sounded like Batman taking on a bunch of his rogue's gallery with cameos by other villains. But the tweet singles out Penguin and Catwoman. We just saw Nolanversiom of Catwoman.

I just hope the detective part is played up more. To me it'd be easier to just adapt Batman Year One.

 

[pdino]

Pattinson needs to get in the gym and bulk up

 

[Doom.]

Hmm..

 

[lamekilla]

Lol and now they’re setting him up to do a remake of Batman Returns

This isn’t going to end well.

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

I hate that they posted this as if it were true and confirmed.

Technically the same goes for the Pattinson casting.

And rfx45 can you like actually update the thread title lol

 

[Mark Antony]

Unless I'm forgetting one, Doom Patrol is easily the best comic book TV series so far this year.

 

[Zainjal26]

The biggest thing with this casting is that this pretty much confirms that they’re going a new route with Superman. Cavill is outta there.

Not true

 

[Master Zik]

Yeah and the competition for 2nd place is pretty far behind DP.

 

[tay1]

No new villains?
