Robert Pattinson “The Batman” Reportedly Set On DCEU’s Earth-2 ~ ScreenRant

*UPDATED WITH SOME BACKGROUND INFO*

Screen Rant gives background to most of the lead characters, I say most because it’s not telling us who the Carver twins are portraying and I’m wondering if they are lead and who they might be. Here’s what they have to say about Rob, but to read about Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Jim Gordon (Jeffrey Wright), Oswald Cobblepot aka The Penguin (Colin Farrell), Selina Kyle aka Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz), Edward Nashton aka The Riddler (Paul Dano), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), District Attorney Gil Colson (Peter Sarsgaard), Officer Stanley Merkel (Barry Keoghan), Commissioner Peter Savage (Alex Ferns) and Bella Real (Jayme Lawson) click on the link above:

The Batman will be a semi-origin story for Gotham’s caped crusader, with Robert Pattinson playing the lead role. Story details for The Batman confirm the movie follows Batman during his second year as a crime fighter, giving audiences another chance to see a version of the Dark Knight who is still learning the ropes. The movie will also put more of a focus on Batman’s detective abilities to establish why he’s known as the world’s greatest detective. This story will take place outside of the main DCEU continuity, allowing Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson to reboot Batman in a brand new franchise.

With the start of a new franchise, The Batman has the ability and necessity to introduce a completely new set of characters. This includes allies of Batman, some classic villains from the comics, and much more. All of these characters can help The Batman build its own world and mythology around Pattinson’s brooding hero. Here’s a complete breakdown of every character confirmed for The Batman.

Bruce Wayne Aka Batman

As a Batman solo movie, it should come as no surprise that The Batman features Bruce Wayne in the leading role. This Batman is in the early days of his crime-fighting career and has a lower-tech quality than more recent big-screen interpretations of the character. His Batcave is much smaller and less impressive than what was featured in the Dark Knight trilogy or Zack Snyder’s DCEU movies. In his short time protecting Gotham, Batman has already established a working relationship with the GCPD. Robert Pattinson plays the titular role after spending years making unique independent movies and Tenet after his days with Twilight.

BAFTA Rising Star Nominee Conrad Khan Talks Admiration for Robert Pattinson

Bustle recently spoke to BAFTA Rising Star nominee, Conrad Khan and this is his response to which actor he looks up to the most:

Someone he’s not worked with who he looks up to most at present is Robert Pattinson. “I think the calibre of films he has been a part of in the past five years has been really impressive, and he’s worked with some really cool directors,” Khan says.

With his career going how it currently is, I’m thinking both Pattinson and Haneke may be knocking on Khan’s door any day now…

Not going to lie, I would love to see Rob in a Michael Haneke film, just putting it out there.

Robert Pattinson is easily the most successful child star to come out of “Harry Potter”

According to The Insider, although Rob only appeared in one Harry Potter film “The Goblet of Fire” (well two technically if you take the pics of Cedric into account in the Order of the Phoenix), he is the most successful child star to come out of the franchise:

Could it have been anyone else? Pattinson spun his one-movie role into the leading man of one of the other biggest franchises of the 2010s: “Twilight.”

After a decade of distancing himself from big blockbusters by starring in films like “Good Time” and “The Lighthouse,” Pattinson is ready for his big, mainstream comeback. He starred in “Tenet,” “The King,” and is going to become Batman next year. There’s no one else that compares, honestly.

Christopher Nolan’s 35 Best Shots According to IndieWire

IndieWire posted an article of 35 shots that define Christopher Nolan’s career and there are quite a few from Tenet including this BTS shot with Rob.

Post-Climax, “Tenet”

“Tenet” is one of Nolan’s busiest films when it comes to visuals. There’s constant motion in the majority of frames to emphasize the narrative’s momentum forward and backward in time. No wonder it’s such an effective choice to mark the end of the movie’s climax with this expansive still shot of Aaron Taylor Johnson, John David Washington, and Robert Pattinson. Recalling the scope of Nolan’s favorite filmmakers David Lean and Sergio Leone, the still feels almost otherworldly and suspended in time due to its vastness and the brownish, almost-apocalyptic hues of the color scheme. It’s at this point in the film where Nolan allows the viewer to start breathing again, and it’s the perfect image to exhale on.

IndieWire Explain Why There is No #Tenet Oscar Campaign

IndieWire have provided an explanation on why there is no Tenet campaign and as they explain we don’t have to look further than Christopher Nolan. Below is an excerpt, but you can read the full article by clicking on the link:

“Tenet,”…has two Oscar nominations for VFX and Production Design. It received one Golden Globe nomination (composer Ludwig Goransson); five Critics Choice craft nominations; sound editing, VFX and production design guild nominations; and one BAFTA nod, for Special Visual Effects. It has not won any to date.

…

Last summer, as all studios delayed their big-budget releases, Warners was ready to wait on “Tenet.” Nolan was not. Driven by a fervor to release his baby and/or single-handedly save movie theaters, he campaigned the studio to release the film and made his own statements that positioned his glossy puzzle box as the make-or-break movie of the pandemic.

…

This wasn’t Warners’ game plan. According to sources, the studio tried to calculate ideal theatrical release timing that would yield the most return on its investment. Distribution executives measured pandemic case rates against possible theater openings. This turned out to be a zero-sum game, but studio executives are also known to christen those gifted filmmakers who have global-brand bonafides as the smartest people in the room.

“Tenet” scored strong overseas numbers, but middling reviews (Metascore: 69). Limited access to theater seats over the next six months led to disappointing box office ($363.3 million worldwide so far). As theaters reopened around the country last weekend, the movie sold out on some New York and Los Angeles screens (playing to 25 percent capacity), just in time to play for vaccinated Academy voters.

It’s too late for that. Back in November, a bruised Nolan told Warners to put money on extending its release, not an Oscar campaign. Warners put its “Tenet” money into theaters where possible and published a Blu-ray as well as HD DVDs. Warners did not mail screeners to Academy members, did not plunk down $12,500 to upload the film on the Academy portal, placed no FYC ads, and mounted no digital screenings or Q&As.

…

After “Tenet” received its two nominations March 15, Academy voters who clicked on the screening portal for links to the film saw that “Tenet” was “unavailable.” That meant any Oscar voter would have to find a DVD or a theater playing the film, which reaches HBO Max May 1 — six days after the Oscars ceremony April 25. It also means that Nolan’s Oscar campaign ban was depriving his own top-tier craftspeople of career-buttressing support. A 69 Metascore is more than respectable; Oscar-winner “Bohemian Rhapsody” scored 49. “Tenet” should have easily scored five or six nods.

Nolan finally relented; “Tenet” will be uploaded to the Academy portal March 29. “While we actively chose not to campaign the film,” said one Warners source, “at the filmmaker’s request, we will be supporting the nominations by putting the film on the AMPAS platform and passing members through the theaters.”

It’s a very slow news day in the Rob world (as has been for some time), but Ciro Guerra mentions Rob in his intro to CGHomeVideo’s VOD premiere of the film in Italy.
