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

    I take it Pattinson has recovered, or are they filming around his absence?

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 ;)

    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 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'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

    Bale was absolutely buff.
    He wasn't Chris Hemsworth/Chris Evans levels of buff, but he wasn't some little weeb either.

    Plus he went from the Machinist to Batman Begins in a fairly short space, and actually had to lose weight cos he was too big, which is more impressive given how he looked in both films.

    Cillian Murphy was first choice to play Christopher Nolan's Batman and, from the screenplays, he looked and acted like a damn good Batman.

    He's as skinny and as pale as they come so, no issue whatsoever

    I watched the released screen tests and his Batman was interesting, but his Bruce didn't resonate with me. Nothing to do with physique of course just giving my 2 cents. :P

    Bale doesn't get enough respect for how he managed that duality.

    I've always thought the idea of getting different actors to play Bruce and Batman would be interesting, completely impossible to pull off I know but still fun. To me Keaton is Bruce and Bale is Batman, I think there was too much backstory and moody teenager to differentiate between Batman and adult Bruce, they did try to get it across with the ballerina/buying hotel/panic room bits but they undid it by having him appear at Harvey's press conference and with him taking back control of Wayne Industries.

    I thought Affleck and Cavill got the dynamic of Bats/Supes from the justice league cartoon spot on, the throw away line at the end of "I bought the bank" was great, I'd liked to have seen an Affleck Batman but it would have needed to have been a Killing Joke era Batman rather than an origin story

    I'm iffy on Batffleck but the trailer for the Snyder Cut gives me hope. As you say it reminds me of how Bruce was in the cartoon Justice League War where he's essentially a weary but likeable leader of the JL.

    I didn't like how much of a meathead he was in BvS but I understand that was a choice made by Snyder that he would have built upon in sequels

    WB announced that they would be simultaneously releasing films on HBO Max and in cinemas next year (as they are doing with WW84 this xmas).

    I know HBO Max isnt available here yet but its an interesting move for them.

    I think the international rights to the Snyder Cut were sold to Amazon so I'm sure WB will be doing similar with their 2021 slate.

    Not a bad way to recoup by taking a lump sum from international providers.

    The look and vibe reminds me of his depiction in the Hush animated adaptation with an added angle of "this guy may have a point" (can't remember if it's line with the GN itself).

    I trust Dano anyway to do something memorable but I hope to see plenty of his face. With the expressions he can pull it'd be a travesty to have that largely lost under a mask.
