I'm going to go with no. And this coming from someone who had pictures of him as Cedric Diggory posted in my dorm room.

I also feel like he’s not a great actor and might suck badly at this. I don’t know.

I saw him in the 9/11rom com and he was bad. I feel like his face doesn’t change at all during the scenes. Lol |

His hatred of Twilight gives me life but I just dont know. Ive never seen in anything but. But I also feel like Batman is expressionless and monotone so maybe he will kill it.

Ummmm no. Batman is from Gotham AKA NYC. Pattinson is British and sucks at hiding his accent. The only positive is that he is always broody like Batman. Other than that, I’m giving him a big nope. I thought they couldn’t do worse than Affleck. I was wrong.

Initial reaction:  But I do agree with the monotone grunting and brooding looks. So who knows. |

I think part of the problem is I always picture him as a skinny scrawny young person and it’s hard to picture him bulked up a bit for Batman. I don’t expect him to reach Christian Bale levels physically but surely he’ll put on some muscle right?

Eeeeeh I'm hesitant. But also sick to death of batman movies so maybe I'm more tired of the character.

I don't know....but I didn't see any auditions. I read somewhere that a lot of Marvel fans where aghast when Chris Evans was announced as Captain America (I guess that Fantastic Four role wasn't terribly impressive to them).
I think it's tough to cast any of the truly iconic characters like Batman or Superman (or, now, Captain America or Ironman - caveat, I now agree with the writers/directors that Mackie was the way to go taking on the shield at this point, but I know Falcon. A brand new actor I'd probably be hissing all over the place).
I guess I've been wrong so many times when I thought a particular actor wouldn't be a good match for a role, and then saw the finished product. Then again, there has been no true Superman for me since Christopher Reeve; the other guys have been ok at best :-) I actually didn't care for Christian Bale that much, as good an actor as he is - I did like Michael Keaton and that surprised even me.

I just read they are wanting to go more noir with where Batman is more detective than ninja. It could be amazing.

My knee jerk reaction is I don’t like this casting, but then I turn around and ask myself well who would you cast? And I don’t really have anyone in mind so maybe.

Who knows though. The Harry Potter fan in me wants him to really succeed in this and prove everyone and me wrong. I root for all the hp actor alums.

Also, why do they keep making Batman movies? I feel like we've had a million in the blink of an eye. And I like Batman! But why do we keep needing new Batmans?
I liked Bales' Batman. Haven't seen Affleck and don't plan to. For the people in the back. |

I agree.
I also told my husband that Batman has the best superpowers. Money. I need money.

Pick one batman and stick with him. We just got a new batman. now we get another batman? RDJ was iron man for like forever and it was awesome. Hugh Jackman was wolverine. Pick a dude and be like boom Batman. Then in like 15 years you can pick another. |

I mean, they've done the same thing with Spider-man too. Hopefully we're good with Tom Holland from here on with the MCU |

I'd be that superhero until the day I'd die. They'd have to bury me in my fucking costume. These assholes don't know what their missing out on. |

I think I decided that Matthew Lewis would be a better Batman than Pattinson.  |
