It seems Robert Pattinson may be the one to break that curse.Īfter Matt Reeves took over to direct The Batman in 2017 (when it was still a Batfleck movie), he told New Trailer Buzz that he was aiming for a “noir-driven, detective version of Batman,” which immediately had comic book purists trembling in their capes. While Michael Keaton beautifully captured his brooding inner turmoil, Ben Affleck matches the aesthetic and fighting style perfectly, and Christian Bale honored the no killing rule, Batman’s reputation as “the world’s greatest detective” is not something that has been recognized to its full potential on the big screen. I could, however, use every live action Batman movie so far to argue why Hollywood still hasn’t really nailed the character. The Batman Is Bringing The Detective Out Of Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne The sneak peeks so far strongly suggest that we are in for a grimmer take on The Riddler than we have seen on the big screen (and Jim Carrey in Batman Forever is not my only source of comparison). The official trailer for The Batman opens with a murder investigation, at which a note with a riddle is found inside an envelope addressed “To the Batman.” This is the just the first of several notes associated with gruesome crimes in Gotham City that will likely serve as one confusing thorn in Robert Pattinson’s side. There are actually a few notably villainous characters in The Batman (such as Colin Farrell as a pre-Penguin Oswald Cobblepot and John Turturro’s Carmine Falcone), but Academy Award nominee Paul Dano’s enigmatic Edward Nashton (the villain’s original last name before it became “Nygma”) is the main antagonist. I wonder if Robert Pattinson’s Batman and Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman will also bond over a mutual hate for the Riddler. Robert Pattinson’s Batman Is Tormented By Paul Dano’s Riddler Judging by a glimpse of Zoë Kravitz breaking into a penthouse safe from the trailer, it appears that The Batman is bringing that image of Catwoman back to the mainstream. While Bruce Wayne has shared the big screen with his anti-heroic love interest before (as played by Michelle Pfieffer in Batman Returns and Anne Hathaway in The Dark Knight Rises most recently), less often has Hollywood nailed her traditional comic book portrayal as an elusive burglar. But he’s just a great actor and he brings so much to everything he does. He can relate in that way, and he looks good in the suit, man. So just in that, I think he’s perfect for this role. We have the illusion of Bruce Wayne, and then we have Batman in the shadows that has a lot more complicated things going on. He’s a really interesting artist, and that is very much Batman in a way. While promoting her Hulu original series High Fidelity in 2020 on Variety's The Big Ticket podcast, Zoë Kravitz dished on how Robert Pattinson fits inside the cape and cowl (both literally and figuratively): Lenny Kravitz's talented daughter also has a few words about her co-star as well. And I think that is where Batman and she connect. She really wants to fight for those who don’t have someone to fight for them. Selina can take care of herself, she’s incredibly tough. Kravitz promises in the following quote from a video found on Twitter that the romantic connection between Robert Pattinson’s Batman and Selina Kyle's alter ego in the upcoming film is uniquely rooted in a mutual desire for justice: Robert Pattinson’s Batman Is Intrigued By Zoë Kravitz’s Catwomanīatman is not without his weaknesses, but his true Kryptonite may be the tempting femme fatale known as Catwoman, who is portrayed by Zoë Kravitz in The Batman.
