While many were quick to ridicule the choice of actor to be next in line as the Caped Crusader, the movie\u2019s director Matt Reeves had no doubts at all about the casting choice, and he also knew exactly what kind of people were upset about the choice. As the sixth actor to take on the part of Batman on the big screen, Pattinson joins the likes of Michael Keaton, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck in putting his stamp on the role, and once footage started to emerge, many more people seemed to believe that he was more than capable of bringing something new to the franchise.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><\/p>\n<div id=\"adsninja-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"adsninja-ad-zone\">\n<div id=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone\">\n<div class=\"ad-current\">\n<div id=\"ad-zone-container-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"ad-zone-container ad-zone-container-content-character-count-repeatable-1\" data-no-fill-collapsable=\"false\"><strong class=\"ad-zone-advertising-tag\">MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --><br \/>\nMatt Reeves and Robert Pattinson will be bringing a violent and disturbing vision of Batman to screens in March, taking inspiration from the <em>Year One<\/em> comics and <em>The Long Halloween<\/em>, with a new-to-the-role Bruce Wayne facing down some of the worst villains Gotham City has to offer. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>earing with Pattinson, the cast for the film includes Zo\u00eb Kravitz as Selina Kyle\/Catwoman, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as Gotham Police Lieutenant Jim Gordon, Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/uk\/culture\/a38791912\/matt-reeves-interview-the-batman\/\">Esquire<\/a> magazine, Reeves explained why he believes there was a great divide in opinion about Pattinson\u2019s casting, and he believes it simply comes down to whether people have been paying attention to the actor\u2019s post-<em>Twilight<\/em> career or not.
