Keaton's Batman Reimagined With Pattinson's Trailer Song Is Haunting
Michael Keaton gets the Robert Pattinson treatment in a new fan trailer for 1989's Batman set to Nirvana’s “Something in the Way.” It’s been over three decades, and multiple Caped Crusaders, since Keaton made his debut as Bruce Wayne alongside Jack Nicholson's Joker in Tim Burton’s gothic, noir-style film. Long before Sam Raimi and Christopher Nolan gave audiences Spider-Man (2002) and Batman Begins (2005), respectively, 1989’s Batman was arguably the first film to take comic book adaptations seriously. Burton’s follow-up, Batman Returns (1992), doubled down on all this, making Keaton's live-action take on the Dark Knight a definitive one.
Following in the footsteps of Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, and Ben Affleck, Pattinson recently took up the mantle of Batman in yet another cinematic reboot. Initially, the casting of the former Twilight star drew mixed reactions online. However, the release of The Batman’s first teaser during DC FanDome in 2020, set to “Something in the Way,” seemingly silenced many of the naysayers. Writer/director Matt Reeves’ gritty thriller has since proven itself to be a faithful addition to the franchise and Pattinson a worthy successor to Keaton. Now, an intrepid fan has taken The Batman’s unofficial anthem and applied it to Batman.
