The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson is now out and has been praised by critics. This return to Pattinson is likely to strengthen his status as Hollywood’s top actor.
It’s very difficult to let go of the shadows of Edward Cullen from Twilight and Cedric Diggergory of Harry Potter. Robert Pattinson managed it. This week, we saw the premiere of Matt Reeves’ Batman. Pattinson is now an actor that people want to be rooting for. Although Pattinson does not seem like the typical charismatic wealthy playboy character that other Batman actors have portrayed, however, he brings something unique to the role of Bruce Wayne that can be admired.
Although he’s been absent from his characters in the past Pattinson’s character is the Caped Crusader. He was cast in roles such as Good Time, Tenet, and The Lighthouse after completing the Twilight saga. Each of these films showed his acting skills and in turn, earned him a lot of respect in the field of taking on more mature content.
In Good Time especially, you can see that he’s not the dark and brooding character that comes off as far away or intimidating. He has tried his hand at the water with regard to his versatility. He’s not a typical actor in any of his performances.
Batman also stars Zoe Kravitz and Paul Dano as Catwoman, The Riddler as The Riddler and The Penguin as Colin Farrell. The version that we have of Gotham is drastically different in terms of tone and character from the grandiose Christopher Nolan trilogy. It’s more gritty, darker, and less tense in comparison.
After Justice League’s disaster, The public is optimistic that studios will take more time to flesh out their films. While Ben Affleck did his best perhaps it was better than studios went forward with another actor, in Pattinson. They will each have their own moments of glory, rather than having to divide their time between famous characters like Wonder Woman, Superman, Aquaman and The Flash. They will have more solo films in their repertoire and will have an opportunity to gather for their second ensemble movie. We’re hoping Pattinson will join us.
Although there isn’t much revealed about his plans to appear within the expanded DCEU It is nearly sure that there will be an additional installment. It’s up to us to see and keep an eye out for The Bat.
