Yeah, in a perfect world we would've got a perfect mix of both, Arkham Origins style, but it's probably not going to translate well to the big screen.

Great choice. If he decides to put on weight for the role, it'll be interesting to see a buff Pattinson that's for sure.
Bale to Affleck made sense. A trilogy wrapped up and they wanted to make a cinematic universe.
This just feels weird. I don't mind the casting, but their cinematic universe is still happening considering how Shazam ended. It just feels like there's no plan anymore. Joker seems to be its own thing, not sure what WW is anymore, and Suicide Squad 2 is some weird sequel reboot thing.
Give me a take on the Beyond suit. Would fit Robert's frame perfectly:
Unless otherwise stated (which is so far just Joker) everything still exists in the same shared universe. WW84 and SS2 are sequels. Aquaman and Shazam are obviously connected to the same universe. The shared continuity is still there, they're just not making a big deal of it anymore. There won't be any crossovers like BvS or JL for the foreseeable future.
"This film will in no way carry on the work that Ben Affleck did as the older Batman in Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League."
This should be the headline and never be forgotten as well. Heh, it seems the DCEU is truly a dropped subject now :)

Variety say that WB have confirmed this to them
But Shazam directly references events from past DCEU films and so does Aquaman. And BoP is picking up from SS.
Well ok I guess. I sort of don't want to have another Batman Begins though. He should just already be Batman
Aaight. Well I hope they make the first movie watchable then, otherwise we're gunna get another near decade of great DC memes.

Why would you do this? Now I want it and I know I'll never have it.
People doubting Pattinson hasn't paid attention. His latest performance in The Lighthouse has been compared by many to Jack Nicholson's performance in The Shining and Daniel Day Louis's turn as Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood. He's an incredible actor who is only getting better.
They are dropping what didn't work from previous films and moving on. What works will at some point get mashed together, and if the movies are good then it doesn't matter what is still canon and what isn't.
Yes please by all that is sacred let this not be an origin story.
If I have to see those fucking pearls falling in slow motion one more time I'm going to fucking scream.
Really excited for this, Robert seems like a great guy and he has the face for it. Just all depends on reeves direction

Its speculated that Warner Brothers are working on an animated movie
It's direct from the article, Deadline isn't an outfit that tends to make up stuff.
I hope they delve into the fantastical elements this time around. We already got a grounded take with the Nolan trilogy.
Damn. Literally the last sentence that I elected not to read. Now I feel like an idiot.
Yep. We are in for something ridiculously special here and I can't wait to see how it pays off!
This is probably the most excited I've been for any Batman movie news since the lead up to The Dark Knight Rises.
Ideally, they'll handle it like Spider-Man: Homecoming —simply allude to his origin story, but don't waste 10 minutes retelling it.
