Hey y’all.
Looks like we may have a new Batman in town. According to Variety, Robert Pattinson
has been cast (pending final contract negotiations) as the newest actor to play
the role. He is set to star in the Matt Reeves-directed The Batman film. Let me tell you how interesting I think this news
is. Because Pattinson is a pretty good actor. No, I am not basing that on his
turns in Harry Potter or Twilight, but rather on the smaller films
he has done since the conclusion of Twilight.
Films like Cosmopolis. Pattinson has
really turned his career into something completely different than what it was
while I was in high school. He has become an actor that I believe is to be
respected and can have an interesting take.
The other
rumor is that if contract talks with Pattinson break down, Nicholas Hoult is the
choice. I have exactly zero feelings about this rumor. Hoult seems to be a fine
actor, although I have not seen most of his catalogue. About a Boy, Clash of the
Titans, and the various X-Men
films are not enough to judge his quality as an actor. The one I remember clearest
his his turn as Beast and he is good in that role. Hoult pulls off nerdy and
charming very well. But a Peter Parker-esque charming, not a Bruce Wayne-type.
It certainly would be interesting, but not as exciting for me personally.
Either way, the new era of Batman
films seems to be shaping up as something I can maybe get invested in.
