Warner Bros. Pictures has made the decision to officially decide on Robert Pattinson as the new Batman. All after some confusion as to whether he really was going to have the role. Actor Nicholas Hoult (“Mad Max: Fury Road,” “X-Men: First Class“) was said have screen tested for the role previously.
Ben Affleck (Batfleck) was seen by many as a good choice for Batman. After Affleck officially stepped down from the role, the majority of fans blamed the studio for the missed opportunity of developing him in a stand alone Batman film.
With the script in hand, director Matt Reeves is scheduled to start filming “The Batman” later this year.
Half of us are excited for yet another fresh start, the other half…well, let’s just say they’ll see it anyway because it’s BATMAN!
We should see an official announcement or press release by Warner Bros. Pictures in the next few weeks.
