It’s Official: Robert Pattinson is the New Batman on Film – UPDATED!

7267

Per DEADLINE, Warner Bros has made their choice and Robert Pattinson will star as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

The trade notes that director Matt Reeves and the studio plan for a trilogy of new Batman films that — and everyone read/listen carefully — will have nothing to do with Ben Affleck’s Batman from BATMAN v SUPERMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE.  In other words, it’s NOT a prequel.  Reeves’ THE BATMAN will feature a Bruce Wayne in the formative stages of his career as Batman.

 

Personally, I am 100% on board and this is some very good and inspired bit of casting.

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
