I think the lolpattison crowd could be a problem for the success in the box office outside the us, i feel that stigma is stronger in some foreing countries.

Can't really blame them. Twilight is still the biggest thing the guy has been in, his most prolific role and the one everyone knows him best for. It's nice an' all to point out a list of indie movies he's been in since that he's actually good in, but the vast majority of people won't have seen them and will only remember that he was terrible in Twilight.

So yeah it'll be a hard sell but not an impossible one. I doubt most people will care that much anyway. Just means the movie can't really draw in a crowd with its lead actor because nobody that wasn't going to see the movie will do so because Robert Pattinson is in it.

I think he'll be fine. I would ideally like to see him be more muscular though.

People getting triggered over this is funny

A lot of people, me included, were "ehhh" on Affleck as Batman until Snyder released that promo shot of him in the suit. He looked like an absolute beast. I mean, look at this, it's crazy good:

Wait until the promo shots hit the web, I'm sure the same thing will happen here and Patterson will look great in the suit.

He's going to be the co-lead in a new Nolan action blockbuster before Batman comes out

After that, that'll be what audiences will be familiar with

I mean WW and Aquaman didn't sell based on the lead actors either, and Pattinson is by far the best actor of the three.

After so many casting decisions fans got upset about (including the huge fracas over Heath Ledger which a lot of nerds pretend didn't happen) that turned about to be nonsense, I will never judge a movie based on its casting decisions upfront again.

I just hope the Batsuit isnt trash just like every other suit besides BvS and Batman.

You're kidding, right? Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa are quite popular. Gal Gadot especially made her name in Fast and Furious movies and was well liked in them. Jason Momoa made a huge impression as Khal Drogo too.

Their names definitely carried weight. Dunno why you'd have to insult them to defend Robert Pattinson.

Nothing is ever going to top that suit. Is was absolute perfection. I hope they don't go back to the black armor for this one.

Only thing I didn't like about it was it being straight up bullet proof in universe. Love the warehouse scene, other than when he starts taking shots to the head. Fuck that. But, looks-wise... perfection.

They wanted a younger Batman so they cast someone who would be 35 by the time the movie comes out?

Okay..
He has the sort of face where they could easily make him look a decade younger, his actual age, or a decade older. If they're planning a trilogy with continuity of time, he's a brilliant fit.

I like it. We desperately need to see the Bat family develop on this go around.

All I.want is one good movie with this Batfleck. It has/had so much potential, mainly because I like the Batmen comics where he is old and jaded the most.

I'm so happy that because of this, the debate about vampires sparkling has once again taken on my Twitter.

I'm not insulting them, I'm just saying 800/1 billion for their solo films was not rooted in their box office prowess. There's very few people on this planet who guarantee huge box office on name alone.

I don't like this because I'd rather Pattinson not 'waste' his talents on friggin Batman, but good for him I guess. Cash those checks.

What's up with the image of a face on the vehicle to the left of him?
