Word is officially out. There’s a new Batman! The dark
knight will be played by Robert Pattinson. Uh, Robert Pattinson?
Do not get me wrong: Whether you like the first Twilight
movie or not, it is a model for inciting incidents, try/fail cycles, and of
course, the climactic moment when the hero desperately has to perform a forbidden
act to save the day.
But it seems to me he lacks the gravitas to play Batman. He’ll
have to bulk up a lot to play the part. I’m not sure millions of people will
pay a lot of money to see him as the caped crusader.
What next, Kristen Stewart as Wonder Woman?
That might attract a few people.
But who would play Superman?
