Oh, I will grant that many different iterations of Batman 'exist' -- DC has had Earth-1, Earth-2, Earth-Counterpoint, Earth New 52, and so many different incarnations of its more popular characters that it would be a full-time, crazy-making job to try to keep them all straight. The question is, which iteration makes the most "sense" of the character? For me, he can't really be a hero if he's a lunatic -- but he DOES work for me as a traumatized child who has grown up to become a major control freak. That's why he's got a contingency plan for everything and an army of lieutenants who have to toe his line (even if he himself does bend the rules from time to time.)
Because Bruce Wayne only wears grey suits?
Agreed. Batman and Bond are characters that seem more realistic than those of an outright fantasy, but they still live in a fantasy world. It's a world that seems more like ours than Oz or Narnia, but a fantasy world nevertheless. The Nolan films took Batman as far as any films could into a realistic world, and I think they came up to the limits of that approach, excellent as they were. Burton placed Batman in a gothic-operatic phantasmagoria where someone like Batman made sense. And in the comics Frank Miller made Batman relevant by placing him in urban dystopias where his presence seemed necessary. Bond's stylized world of opulence, futuristic technology, and vast villains' lairs is similarly a fantasy world, all the more alluring for seeming to arise from our own, though it's still a fantasy. At times the Bond films have pressed too hard on the fantasy and came off as cartoonish; at other times they have leaned too hard on reality and disturbed the audience.
Iam just hoping Joker is not included in the villains

That s cool, but the way this is phrased is weird. Why would he ask Nolan for advice?
Yeah, I think because he's still the most successful Batman director....commercially and critically.
Sure, but it is Reeves who calls the shots now. He is the one Pattinson asks.
What kind of advice?
That's very cool. Nice riddle with a funny answer.
Does this mean that we see Batman sitting in his office for ten minutes and finally cracking the code?
I think it kind of does, doesn't it? It's not their film so they shouldn't really direct an actor on it, and advising someone of how to play a role is, basically, directing them. Unless it is purely technical stuff like 'make sure you drink plenty of water' or something.
Yes it's a good proper riddle! :)
Good point though, how will the pictograph thing work in a film? If he's just going to come out of a darkened room and say 'I solved it!' there's kind of no point in it being there, but watching him solve it will be really boring! :D
Either way, I'm sure Pattinson greatly respects Reeves, and that they have full control over what's going on.
They are professionals and, but they're also human and I'm sure it was an elephant in the room at some point that they likely both acknowledged without undermining anyone.
That being said, it's often been the norm for actors to ask previous actors of the same part for advice. Didn't Reeves' mention that Pattinson had spoken to Bale?
