News Variety Reports Robert Pattinson is the new Batman

They're really going for an industrial look to the film aren't they? Seems like something Bruce made at a mechanics shop.

Who remembers the Alfred the Mechanic rumors way before "Batman Begins" was proposed?

 

I just noticed the top brake light, safety first!

 

I like the grounded appeal of this look. One of the main reasons I loved Bale's Batman is I could see how everything worked together.

 

Yep, kind of reminds me of the concept art for that film too.

 

More of a fun, realistic, and practical car and less of a tumbler (and I say that as someone who mostly loved it in the Nolan films). I think I like it a lot.

Yeah! I remember that. Too bad that didn't pan out.

"Remember Robin. When chasing Gotham's criminally insane it's always best to let people know that you will be braking"

"Gosh you're right Batman"

I like that the batmobile is like the batmobiles from the comics. It's not flashy with fins and bat logos. Sometimes it looks like a regular car on the outside

 

It seems like they're leaning heavily on it

I can see Andy Serkis being a more unpolished mechanic type of Alfred and not so stiff and proper like Alfred has normally been portrayed

 

I like it. More like the Batmobile I remember growing up. More car, less tank.

 

Definitely like the aesthetic of this film so far.

 

I would love a Batman movie that takes the material seriously but that doesn't try to be "realistic". Unfortunately, this looks to be another Nolan inspired "realistic" piece of shit, but with a somehow worse style and a worse cast. I'll never know how DC manages to keep up such a track record of hiring shitty directors/writers for Batman and Superman stuff nowadays. You'd think they'd hire someone capable of making a good Batman movie just by accident at this point, its like they actively don't want a good Batman movie to be made.

 

Nope, they don't.

 

Shitty cast? This has an amazing cast.
OK yes, Pattinson did do Twilight, but since then he's given acclaimed performances in other stuff, and Zoe Kravitz isn't a huge star, but I liked her in X-Men: First Class, and Mad Max: Fury Road. I can't remember Paul Dano from anything, but he is a pretty well respected actor, Jeffrey Wright has been consistently awesome in Westworld, and Andy Serkis was absolutely amazing in the Middle Earth movies, and the rebooted Planet of the Apes series. I'm not real familiar with Jayme Lawson or Peter Sarsgaard, but I am a big fan of Colin Farrell.
And I really enjoyed Cloverfield, and absolutely loved Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes, so I'm very confident Matt Reeves will give us an absolutely awesome Batman movie.

 

It never makes sense to judge an actor's entire ability based on one bad movie, especially one that old. Try watching Jack Nicholson's early Roger Corman movie roles. He was atrocious. Acting is a skill like any other -- you can improve with practice.

She was terrific in Fury Road. I think she's an excellent choice.

Never saw Cloverfield, but the Apes movies were fantastic.

 

She's quite good in "High Fidelity" (based on the movie based on the book) which is on Hulu.

 

Paul Dano was also pretty compelling in “Prisoner” with Hugh Jackman. Dano played a bus driver with the IQ of a child.

Why do constantly judge a book by its cover?

You haven’t even seen it yet you’re throwing it under the bus right away

How do you know we have a “shitty cast”?

 

Hate springth eternal ?

 

She's also very good in Big Little Lies, which can sometimes be forgotten since she's surrounded by acting giants.

 

Now, that is a cool fucking car.

 

For some reason I always confuse Paul Dano with Sam Huntington.
