While reports weeks ago claimed Robert Pattinson was the final choice to replace Ben Affleck as the next movie Batman, according to Deadline, that decision was delayed for one final round of screen tests where Pattinson faced off against actor Nicholas Holt.
But apparently the decision is now final (pending signing a contract, of course), and the next Batman will be Robert Battinson.
So it will almost be like a movie about how Batman begins. Say, that’s a good title for a movie!
Hoult, who starred in Tolkien and is about to reprise in the latest X-Men: First Class film Dark Phoenix, was impressive, but Pattinson will be the guy and negotiations will get underway any moment.
