When Ben Affleck announced he was done playing Batman last year it was received with disappointment and relief. For a while, it had become clear that he wasn’t invested in the role or very enthusiastic for being a part of the new Batman movie that has taken forever to get under full production but now, with Ben Affleck gone, and a script ready to be realized, the hunt for the new Batman has begun.
And it seems that Matt Reeves has finally found which actor he now wants to play the iconic superhero. Wait for it, wait for it. The actor who is setting up to be the next Batman is…
*drum roll*
Robert Pattinson, star of the Twilight Saga and Harry Potter alumnus is set to place his stamp on Hollywood as the next rendition of The Dark Knight.
I, for one, am very pleased with this potential replacement for Batman. Matt Reeves wants to tell a different story with Batman, showing him as a young detective in Gotham instead of the usual dark hero sort of storyline that we’ve continued to see since Michael Keaton’s The Batman, making Robert Pattinson a brilliant choice.
I’m also very excited because I like him. He was one of my favorite characters in Harry Potter as Cedric Diggory. I’m always devastated when he’s killed at the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It’s just such a sad development.
Secondly, doesn’t he look perfect for this role? The dark hair, the chiseled features, he will surely make an awesome Batman.

Sparkly Batman?
While the first films were a nod to the original TV show I watched as a kid, Christian Bale’s Batman put it on the right track in my opinion. Ben Affleck did a great job as an aging Bruce Wayne, and I’m willing to entertain a bridge between the Gotham series, and where we’ve seen the more recent films.
