    I'm currently watching HIGH LIFE, a 2018 sci-fi horror film starring Pattinson. Perhaps not the best film to assess his potential as Batman, but at least it increases my confidence in the man's acting abilities.

    So, Robert Pattison is going to be Batman, right?

    The world has truly gone bonkers.

    Justin Bieber would be bonkers, Pattinson is a smart choice a popular actor who can act very well. He can do the Bruce Wayne character and wearing the suit we will find out.

    Smart choice commercially, and whatever choice the fanboys and girls will always be moaning.

    To be fair, Affleck's acting abilities increased drastically since getting his first few parts. And he was a terrific Batman. Pattinson has also been learning a great deal in recent times. I'm sure the choice wouldn't be entirely bonkers.

    I'm getting mixed feelings. I hope that some of those villains we haven't seen before.

    I agree with much of this article. Not necessarily saying I'd never want to see a new Batman movie ever again, but I wish it would take a long break (earned after Nolan's TDK trilogy IMO) at least.

    I disagree with it almost entirely and fundamentally on the basis that there's lots of Batman material that has never been on the big screen. We don't need another origin story or a Batman/Joker film. There's plenty of room for something new, just like there is with each Bond film after 24 of them.

    There hasn't been a good Batman film since 2008. He doesn't need a break, he just needs to stop falling back on his crutches.

    Batman hit the top in 1989 & 2012. Let's see if he can do it again...

    Matt Reeves is a great choice for director, but I would love to see what Frank Miller could do. His work on SPIRIT was outstanding, and what he contributed with for SIN CITY was commendable as well.

    Mmmmm... have you read "Holy Terror"? That was originally intended as a Batman story. I wasn't all that impressed with Miller's direction of The Spirit either. I thought the full title of the movie was "Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT"... and it should have been "Frank Miller's THE SPIRIT." As far as I was concerned, the television version starring Sam Jones was closer to Eisner's work than was Miller's film (and I'm not a huge fan of the TV version.) I've long been a fan of FM's work but he's definitely got his own take on stuff, and in my opinion should concentrate on his own creations rather than adapting someone else's work, either on the page or in live action.

    Never read Holy Terror, and never saw that tv series, either. Will check them both out if I get the chance.

    The TV Spirit was a one-off TV movie, not a series. Check it out if you get a chance, it was done in the mid-80s and may or may not be available elsewhere.

    What do you guys think of the unused H.R. Giger designed Batmobile that wasn't used in Batman Forever?

    Anything Giger designs is worth seeing. Weird but cool!

    Yes, it does. But to be fair, most of them do.

    By the way, the Batman Versus Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated film turned out to be much more enjoyable than I expected.

    Well, Gerry Conway has written more good Batman stories than any of us ever will, so we shouldn't automatically dismiss the idea. Maggie Smith would be a very interesting choice, though the character's name would have to be changed. Perhaps she could play Leslie Thomkins instead?
