THE BATMAN Director Matt Reeves Wants You To Know Robert Pattinson Will Be a Great Brooding Batman

For the first time since it was announced Robert Pattinson was cast in the role of The Dark Knight in The Batman, director Matt Reeves shared his response to the casting on Twitter.

He posted a gif of Robert Pattinson from one of his films showing us that the actor can capture that brooding Batman look. Having seen most of Pattinson’s movies, I was already convinced that he will be able to handle this role in a way that I think most people won’t be expecting.

While this gif offers you an intense look at Pattinson, I recommend watching some of his other films to give you a real taste at the range that the actor has. Films like Cosmopolis, The Rover, Maps To The Stars, The Lost City of Z, Good Time, and High Life.

Reeves’ Batman movie “tracks Bruce Wayne in the formative stages of Batman,” and we know that the film will tell a Batman noir story that focuses on the character in detective mode.

The Batman opens in theaters on June 25th, 2021.
