Robert Pattinson Defends All Batman Movies (Including Batman & Robin)
Robert Pattinson is showing his support for all the Batman movies that came before his, declaring that none of them are bad, actually. Though the character of Bruce Wayne has been brought to the big screen numerous times over the years, one of the most anticipated movies of 2022 is The Batman, indicating there is no franchise fatigue here. Directed by Matt Reeves, The Batman stars Pattinson as a Bruce in his second year of being Gotham's vigilante, just as he finds himself facing a new challenge in the form of a serial killing Riddler (Paul Dano).
The new film is only the latest in a long line of Batman-centric movies. The character has been depicted in film ever since 1943, when he was the lead in a serial film from Columbia Pictures. In terms of the more modern day Batman movies, Bruce Wayne has been played by Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, and Ben Affleck. Unsurprisingly, fans have their opinions about which ones were the best and which ones (often Clooney's) end up at the bottom of the list. And yet, it's the latest addition to this ever-growing list who has a fondness for everything that came before him.

Pattinson said:
