Robert Pattinson Secretly Replies To The Batman Trolls On Fan Forums
Robert Pattinson reveals he secretly goes into The Batman fan forums to anonymously defend himself. The movie featuring the latest incarnation of Gotham's hero, coming out this week in theaters, is helmed by director Matt Reeves, who previously worked on the Planet of the Apes franchise. Warner Bros. gave Reeves the creative control to create his gritty vision, which stands apart from Justice League and the other DCEU releases.
The Batman takes place just two years into Bruce Wayne's vigilante career, and Pattinson's Batman will be facing the Riddler (Paul Dano), who the trailers show to be the movie's primary villain. The younger Wayne is accompanied by a younger Alfred (Andy Serkis), will interact with Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), and looks to have a close working relationship with a not-yet-commissioner James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright). Colin Farrell will also be joining as Penguin. Reeves is delivering a return to Gotham in detail, focusing on Batman as the World's Greatest Detective. So far, The Batman reviews are very positive, showing Reeves' take on the DC hero was a good one, but the movie has yet to receive the official stamp of approval from an often demanding fanbase.
