Robert Pattinson Gets Dark Knight Batsuit To Replace Ben Affleck Batman

Robert Pattinson seems to be the top choice to replace Ben Affleck as Batman amongst fans, and new art gives another idea of what to expect should the former Twilight star take on the role of the Caped Crusader next.

Robert Pattinson’s name recently popped up amongst rumored contenders for the role of Batman which include  Ansel Elgort, Dylan O’Brien, Logan Lerman, Noah Centineo, Jack O’Connell, Kit Harrington, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Richard Madden, and Armie Hammer after Ben Affleck said goodbye to playing the character in the DCEU last month.

Plot details for Matt Reeves’ The Batman have yet to be revealed, however, rumors have pointed to a previous version of the script once featuring Ben Affleck bookending the film as his current Batman while the film introduced a younger version of the DC superhero. Reports suggest the studio is looking for an actor in his mid-twenties to early thirties. The film is also rumored to feature The Penguin as well as a rogues gallery of Batman villains. The only known information is that the film will not be directly based on Frank Miller’s Year One comic and will also focus on the Dark Knight as the World’s greatest detective more than previous films have before.

The latest bit of fan art takes Robert Pattinson and puts him in a Christian Bale batsuit rather than the Frank Miller inspired suit worn by Ben Affleck in the DCEU. Check it out below!

 

The Batman is one of the many projects currently being developed by Warner Bros. and DC Films, including The Flash standalone film, Green Lantern Corps, Black Adam, Cyborg, Supergirl, New Gods, and Nightwing.

Following Aquaman, which is now playing, the DCEU continues in April with Shazam! on April 5, 2019, which will be followed by Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) on February 7, 2020, and Wonder Woman 1984 on June 5, 2020. A standalone Joker film set outside of the DC Films universe starring Joaquin Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Crime is also set to hit theaters October 4, 2019.

Directed by James Wan, Aquaman stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, Amber Heard as Mera, Willem Dafoe as Vulko, Patrick Wilson as Orm / Ocean Master, Dolph Lundgren as Nereus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Ludi Lin as Captain Murk, and Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director, James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be… a king.

Aquaman is now playing. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news on the future of the current DC cinematic universe as we learn it.
