I had such high hopes for this movie based on what the director had been saying

The Dark Knight All-American

A detective driven story...point of view...younger Batman in his prime. It all sounded good.

And then this. What the heck?!

Can he beef up and be physically imposing? He's just not intimidating. At all.

This is so so sad.

He'd make an ok Robin/Nightwing. But the caped crusader, himself? What the?

Warner Bros. cannot get out of their own way. What a bad BAD casting choice!

Pee Wee Reese

5/16/19 7:43pm

This could be really interesting. I'm kinda excited to see what he could do w/ this role

^^Hates Batman^^

Pee Wee Reese

5/16/19 7:44pm

Take solace in this thought TDK

I think he gets a bad reputation for Twilight

KingDave

5/16/19 7:44pm

We'll see. Seems like a really really poor decision.

RSL

5/16/19 7:44pm

So DC is garbage. Wow.

LaVellIfIKnow

5/16/19 7:44pm

Not like Ben Affleck was a great choice.

WJCougar

5/16/19 7:46pm

Exactly. Two awful castings in a row.

LaVellIfIKnow

5/16/19 7:47pm

It's due for a reboot? Are they serious? Wow. Do they already have scripts in

Batman is like James Bond. He will always have movies

The Dark Knight

5/16/19 7:49pm

But James Bond is never a reboot.

WJCougar

5/16/19 7:57pm

I don't think it will be an origin story again, just a younger Batman

The Dark Knight

5/16/19 8:00pm

Craig's Bond was a total reboot. Even an origin story.

I really miss Christian Bale.

eddog

5/16/19 7:49pm

And Christopher Nolan

The Dark Knight

5/16/19 8:13pm

Hmmm...vampire, vampire bat, Batman... not a coincidence.

LaVellIfIKnow

5/16/19 7:50pm

Maybe they are doing this story line, where Batman is a vampire bat...

The Dark Knight

5/16/19 7:52pm

He's pretty well respected for most of his roles

Gustav

5/16/19 7:50pm

Fantastic as Cedric Diggory!!!!!!!!!!

pistol12

5/16/19 7:53pm

He has done some interesting roles in recent years.

Cougar-Duck

5/16/19 7:55pm

He needs to gain 30lbs of muscle... I'm open to the casting, younger guy

UberDeek

5/16/19 7:52pm

Heath Ledger is the only hope I am holding on to.

The Dark Knight

5/16/19 7:52pm

Um. You do know he is ........

BYU Grounds

5/16/19 8:15pm

Just referencing that his casting as the Joker came out of nowhere

The Dark Knight

5/16/19 8:17pm

Sparkly Batman rocks!

Let’s see..what actress could play Cat Woman?

rocker

5/16/19 7:55pm

If you say Kristen Stewart, I will punch you

Pee Wee Reese

5/16/19 7:57pm

Why not? She’s a very versatile actress.

KingDave

He was really good in Lost City of Z. I actually think this might work.

CapCougar

5/16/19 7:57pm

I think he’ll be great actually. It’s not like Stephanie Meyer is writing the screenplay

YIsForBrigham

5/16/19 7:58pm

Enough with the reboots already.

IceCreamButt

5/16/19 8:00pm

Gotta reboot if your gonna keep making Batman movies. I hope they never stop.

The Dark Knight

5/16/19 8:02pm

I wish they would stop and batman is one if the few "superheros" I enjoy. It is

IceCreamButt

5/16/19 8:05pm

Cue the response: "then don't watch them" but seriously

The Dark Knight

5/16/19 8:11pm

To prove everyone wrong who said Ben Affleck was the worst choice ever.

tony

5/16/19 8:10pm

Val Kilmer and George Clooney would like a word.

Left Shark Coug

5/16/19 8:13pm

Much better than Ben Affleck. Casey Affleck would have been better than Ben.

tony

5/17/19 5:43am

No, they weren't. Those movies were terrible.

People felt the same way about Michael Keaton 30 years ago

Windward_Coug

5/16/19 8:14pm

Bruce Wayne sure squinted a lot

TNT

5/16/19 8:36pm

True. Keaton was mainly a comedic actor before he played Batman.

eddog

5/16/19 8:42pm

He did a solid job

TNT

5/16/19 8:45pm

Probably the first gay Batman

BIG XII Coug

5/16/19 8:17pm

Keep in mind we all thought casting the guy from Brokeback Mountain as Joker was

swingcat

5/16/19 8:24pm

Another Batman reboot? At least it’s not Ben Affleck or George Clooney, I guess.

chilango

5/16/19 8:49pm

And people thought casting Ben Afflek was bad...

D.T. Survivor

5/16/19 9:03pm

Or not. This update says otherwise.

jreid191

5/16/19 9:31pm

Pattinson would be better

Gustav

5/16/19 9:35pm

Because he looks like a rodent?
