The Batman

[AlexanderMBush]

Ugh Hoult has such a punchable face. Please let it be Pattison. Aaron Taylor Johnson was on the shortlist at one point too.

Apparently, Aarons still on that list.

I am 1000% behind Pattinson as Batman. He's one of a few actors I'll watch anything they're in just because they're in it.


Now cast Anna Kendrick as Selina Kyle.

And as the day continues, THR is posting more publicly that as of now; The Penguin is locked as a villain, along with, the tease of Catwoman also being in the film.

They also heard that number of rouges for the film is fluctuating, to potentially six villains depending on how things turn out.

Also to say..that would be choice that I would not mind, at all.

Now cast Anna Kendrick as Selina Kyle.

I would support this choice.

Like Anne Hathaway (who I also liked in the role), she has the dramatic chops necessary to carry any emotional beats, the comedic chops for playfulness and levity, and she would pull off the outfit.

and she would pull off the outfit.

R rating?

My vote is Hailee Steinfield for Selena Kyle.

But they'll probably go with Rebel Wilson.

R rating?

I didn't mean it like that!

My vote is Hailee Steinfield for Selena Kyle.

She's terrific, but I think too young to be plausible opposite Pattinson.

I have increasingly loved Hailee's acting chops..however, she is still very young for Selena. Especially if Reeves is planning to take a page out of Bruce and Selena's relationships from the comics.

I would also, low key, love Jonah Hill as Penguin.

Seymour Hoffman was always my pick for a new modern Penguin. Shame he's gone.

I agree with that.


I hope the subvert the Riddler casting, though. Like Anthony Mackie or Christina Ricci. Someone really unexpected.

Bill Skarsgård would be a good choice for The Riddler.

Pattinson is a talented actor who has been making interesting choices so this is a surprise, if a little too safe a choice of WB's part to get me really excited. I've seen a lot of talk online of him being too young which made me want to run some numbers, so assuming it is Pattinson and they stick to their release date here are the ages of the live action Batmen when they first premiered.

Robert Pattinson - The Batman - 35 Years, 1 Month, and 13 Days Old
Ben Affleck - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - 43 Years, 7 Months, and 11 Days Old
Christian Bale - Batman Begins - 31 Years, 4 Months, and 17 Days Old
George Clooney - Batman & Robin - 36 Years, 1 Month, and 15 Days Old
Val Kilmer - Batman Forever - 35 Years, 5 Months, and 17 Days Old
Michael Keaton - Batman - 37 Years, 9 Months, and 19 Days Old
Adam West - Hi Diddle Riddle - 37 Years, 3 Months, and 25 Days Old

Bill Skarsgård would be a good choice for The Riddler.

Dane DeHaan would be good too.

Vanessa Hudgens is reportedly being eyed for Selina Kyle.

Vanessa Hudgens is reportedly being eyed for Selina Kyle.

I... I don't hate this, actually.

I'm a fan of Hudgens though. I'm curious if she can pull off the occasional ferocity of Catwoman, but she's a believable jewel thief and can pull off "aloof" extremely well.

 

[Nick]

What a weird world we live in where Robert Pattinson is Batman and Vanessa Hudgens (maybe) is Catwoman...

I think both can pull off the performance, but my biggest concern is that Pattinson doesn't have the build most envision Bruce Wayne to have. He's rather scrawny.

He's spoken out about this, it has to do with the fact that for a while, he had anxiety/ depression and din't eat in order to make a better self image. But he did reveal in recent interviews for most movies he was dieting better and he wants to move past that stage of his life. I'm sure accepting the role of Batman will be the motivation he needs to push forward.
