Pattison is a much better actor than he generally gets credit for, I actually have hope for his performance. Check out The Lighthouse, even if for no other reason than to see Willem Dafoe's off the wall performance but Pattison is spot on in it.
Black catwoman is a fucking abomination though. Black anything is.
These roles should be cast by people who are believable in the role. Batman needs to be a physically impressive and intimidating male. Pattison looks like I could snap him like a twig... I argue that this is a worse casting choice than Catwoman. It is way more believable that a black woman could be a thief than to believe Batman is a little scrawny guy.
Pattinson would make a great Batman Beyond. That’s what they should have done. He’s got more of a Terry McGinnes (sp?) vibe. Though his acting is a lot better than he gets credit for. Just would be a better fit for Beyond, not to mention would be nice having a new Batman rather than yet again a reboot.
