The Batman (Matt Reeves) spoilers from post 1030

Apparently it was part of his contract that he'd star in and direct a new solo Batman movie, he's due to start when he completes his next project which I guess would give it a 2019 release date.

Personally, I don't think we need a new vision of the series. I think Batman at this point would be better returning to TV alongside the likes of Arrow and The Flash.

I've no issue with the batman physique, bale who is arguably the best onscreen version was never buff either. I think people need to be patient and just rate it when released in theatres. Pattinson has always delivered in role's given so I can't see this being any different.

I'm liking the dark gritty Gotham feel to this movie so far, very like the older 90s movies

I'm a self confessed Batman fanboy but I don't get the obsession with Pattinson's physique, as really the comics have portrayed that character with numerous ones; some sleek, others monstrously muscled.

Indeed what I do find strange is grown male adults fawning over the condition Affleck was able to get himself into. Fair play to Ben and all that as it obviously took a lot of effort, but jaysus did he not half look like he was about to pop in the suit. Couldn't have been healthy.

I like the idea of a "small" Bruce Wayne, Christopher Reeves transformation from Clark Kent to Superman was fantastic and didn't need special effects

I'm basing that opinion on the picture above, not on any pre-existing ideas of Twilight. In the picture, he looks pasty, and frail - almost sickly. Certainly a good bit less powerful than any Batman that has come before him.

As someone said it's a funeral scene, but also it's a bit premature to judge ANY film based on a set photo when you're basically looking at actors, sets and production without any of the final "movie magic" polish added. Or even the final lighting for a scene; it's worth reposting the trailer for a reminder of the Before & After effect. There's snippets of the funeral scene and it looks completely different.

Besides, why wouldn't Wayne be pale? The guy has an almost entirely nocturnal life. Can't imagine he gets much Vitamin D

This looks like a funeral scene they're filming, so there could be a very good reason why he's looking frail. Besides which, we've already seen him in the suit, and he looks fine.

Goodshape

I'm fine with all that. He's a ninja detective, doesn't need to be a lumbering hulk of a man.

He's also (potentially) a bit of a grumpy recluse living in dreary Gotham. Pale and pasty probably makes more sense than tanned and glowing.

Pattinson has proved time and time again that he's an incredible and versatile actor, but people still cling to this weird notion that because he was in Twilight once upon a time, we shouldn't take him seriously.

So what if he's pale? So what if he's a lean build? He's an amazing actor with great screen presence and he is athletically lean, not "skinny".

Anyway, his physicality isn't much different from Clooney, Kilmer or Keaton - similar body type (perhaps more muscle definition) though Pattinson is taller than all 3.

So, personally I can't wait to see Pattinson as Wayne/Batman.

You'd also think after the ludicruous social media "outrage" over pretty boy Heath Ledger cast as the new Joker, people might wait & see what the final film looks like.

Will say the same thing as said with Dune; there's a huge backlog building up so it'll become increasingly hard for these blockbusters to get good box office if they're all competing against each other for the slowly dwindling space of a presumed safe 2021. Going double for films like this that are still shooting - and was already shut down twice over CoVid. 2022 feels generous!

The presumption of a safe 2021 is also not particularly sound right now!

There is a new poster out for The Batman. Pattinson's sideburns are in it.

Pictures of him out and about with his other half over the last few days hint that he is recovered anyway masks down and very public displays of affection.

I'm honestly stunned that both The Rock & Pattinson now have Covid-19. I hope they both get well soon.
