It’s official that Robert Pattinson will play the role of the Batman/Bruce Wayne in a trilogy that will be directed by Matt Reeves. The report was confirmed by Deadline that the 33-year-old actor will portray the role of the Caped Crusader.

The fact that a vampire from Twilight Saga is our next Batman has drawn criticism from many fans because those movies are awful. And yes, those movies are not exactly good but who cares?

The last Twilight film was seven years ago. Since then, Robert Pattinson has completely reinvented himself as an Indie film star starring in low budget films that really showcase his acting abilities.

Most of the website’s on the internet are telling you to see Good Time– 2017, crime-drama movie starring Robert Pattinson as a bank robber looking to get his brother out of prison but the crew of DizzyNerd highly recommends you to watch The Rover first because this is a much bigger showcase of Pattinson’s abilities as an actor.

And to be fair, he’s not the first person in the DC Franchise that received any hate.

When Michael Keaton was cast as Batman, the offices of DC Comics and Warner Bros were overrun with letters about how Michael should not play Batman. He didn’t look anything like the character and at that time, he was primarily known for his romantic comedies but guess what, he went on to define the role of Batman for a whole generation earning incredible respect and to this day, Keaton is many people’s favorite Batman as well as favorite Bruce Wayne.

Remember when people said that Gal Gadot is too skinny to be Wonder Woman. But now after a few years, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is one of the highlights of the DCEU.

Ben Affleck was another actor who people felt was going to ruin the role of Batman but we don’t think that he did a horrible job in the role of Batman. He probably would have been a great Batman, if he had been surrounded by some good writers and directors.

Lastly, we have an example with which we all can agree. The internet went crazy when Heath Ledger was cast as the Clown Prince of Crime. He portrayed the role of The Joker and the rest is history.

So according to the crew of DizzyNerd, Robert Pattinson deserves a shot at playing Batman and here are the few reasons why we think that Robert Pattinson will be a great Batman

1) His Physical Appearance

Robert Pattinson’s physical appearance for the role of Batman isn’t really a big issue. He does have muscle tone, he just doesn’t have a big body structure.

But if this movie is gonna be about Batman in his early days, then they could use Robert Pattinson’s size as an advantage to show a younger version of Batman/Bruce Wayne. And if they need him to bulk up, then we are sure he’ll do it.

2) He has Acting Skills to bring Perfection to any Role

Anyone who is saying that Robert Pattinson doesn’t have acting skills, he is clearly judging him on the basis of his role in the Twilight franchise. But after since exiting the Twilight franchise, Robert Pattinson has done some serious work on his acting skills.

He has done some noteworthy movies including Good Time, The Lost City of Z, The Rover, High Life, Damsel and The Childhood of a Leader. We highly recommend you to watch Good Time and Rover as mentioned above.

With that being said, let’s review some of the accomplishments of Robert Pattinson that he achieved due to his acting skills-

In 2012, he was ranked in the top 100 most influential actors in Hollywood. In 2012, he won the award at the acclaimed Strasburg film festival for his role in How To Be. In 2014, he earned nominations from Australian Academy Awards (AACTA) and Canadian Screen Awards for his performance in The Rover and Maps to the Stars. In 2015, he won the Hollywood Rising Star award for his performance in Life, at the Deauville American Film Festival. In July 2018, Robert Pattinson received the Prestigious President’s Award at the 53rd edition of the Karlovr Vary International Film Festival.

In fact, go look at the majority of movies that Robert has done since 2014, most of the reviews I found on the internet stated that regardless of the quality of the film he was in, he was the standout star in the movie.

3) Low Expectations from Robert Pattinson as the Batman

To be very fair with you all, right now audiences have the least expectations when it comes to Robert Pattinson as the new Caped Crusader.

This gives more Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson more room to experiment with the character and exceed the expectations with something new and different.

After Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy, it is hard to justify that do we need an on-screen Batman again? Well, that might hurt the chance of reaching a wide level of the audience like Nolan and Bale did but it can also play as an ultimate advantage to Reeves and Pattinson.

4) Matt Reeves is a Proven Talent

Matt Reeves has been crafting some high-quality blockbusters from the past ten years and to be honest, we think that it is a weird expectation that he needs to prove himself while directing Batman’s adventures on the big screen.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Matt Reeves shared his vision that he has for The Batman movie and what he hopes to accomplish with his take on the character. He stated that-

It’s very much a point of view-driven, noir Batman tale. It’s told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it’s going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional. It’s more Batman in his detective mode than we’ve seen in the films. The comics have a history of that. He’s supposed to be the world’s greatest detective, and that’s not necessarily been a part of what the movies have been. I’d love this to be one where when we go on that journey of tracking down the criminals and trying to solve a crime, it’s going to allow his character to have an arc so that he can go through a transformation.

It is clear that the story will explore Batman’s early days when he got the identity as one of The World’s Greatest Detective. This movie will be different from any other Batman movies in the past. And in order for the movie to stand on its own, it’ll need to be done.

While Christopher Nolan’s trilogy portrayed the Caped Crusader as a bat suit-wearing crime fighter, it seems like Matt Reeves will be continuing that trend while adding some more genre elements to portray Batman as the World’s Greatest Detective.

And since Robert Pattinson is good at playing different roles in different genres, it’s likely that Robert Pattinson will adapt both the superhero elements and the noir elements as well.

5) He has the Batman Chin

For other movie characters, an actor’s chin might not seem a very big factor but in the case of Batman, everyone notices the chin. Not everyone with good looks can put on the cowl, You also need to have a prominent chin to make Batman look more badass.

You can’t have any guy with no chin in the role of Batman and thankfully, Warner Bros. doesn’t have to worry about it. Robert Pattinson has a good chin and there’s no denying that whenever he’ll wear the costume, he’ll stand out, even under the mask.

6) The 2021 Release Date gives Time to Improve

Have you ever wondered why so many sequels suck? The two main reasons behind it are high expectations and rushed release dates. Well, it’s not in the case of The Batman.

The movie isn’t coming out until 2021, which gives Matt Reeves some time to work on his script to give us a Batman movie we all deserve. Additionally, it’ll give Robert Pattinson more time to explore the character of Batman.

One of the biggest problems with the last couple of Batman movies was that they were rushed. The studios were eager to meet the public demands as quickly as possible which hurt the final production of the movie in the long run. But it’ll not be the case in terms of Matt Reeves’ The Batman.

These were some key points by which we all can think that Robert Pattinson’s Batman might be one of the greatest Batman’s ever.

But the success of The Batman movie depends on many factors, not only on Robert Pattinson. So if Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. wants The Batman to be one of the best Batman’s movie ever and a hit on the blockbuster too, then they need to focus on the other castings, movie characters, script and on many other things too.
