The announcement that Robert Pattinson would play Batman in the upcoming DCEU The Batman has been met with the same kind of criticism that seemingly every actor has gotten when they were announced as the Caped Crusader.
Going back to the ’80s, Michael Keaton being chosen was even highly lambasted by some.
One thing you can always count on in the world, besides death and taxes, is that whomever is announced to play a live-action Batman on film will get shredded online and in the media.
The Christian Bale decision was criticized, Ben Affleck got crushed when he was the pick.
