So the next Batman has been confirmed and its going to be Robert Pattinson. What do you guys make of it? Batman is my favourite superhero character and the dark knight trilogy my favourite superhero series but I must say I am doubtful whether Robert Pattinson can be a great batman. let's see how he performs.
What do eds and others think of this? Would you have preferred someone else? Also which is your favourite superhero movie/series?

I didn't know you edited this site too ed2!! Well I meant in movies but ok. Any movie suggestions? Got some free time so thinking of watching a few movies.
Cheers

{Ed002's Note - There was the Batman movie made with Adam West. The only true Batman.}

Well I only ever liked Christian Bale as Batman but that is more to do with the Nolan series which I think had a really good cast overall. Not seen the Adam West version of Batman movie. I will definitely do so now. Have you watched the dark knight trilogy ed2? If yes do you like it? Also could ask you which is your favourite movie? (Doesn't have to be just 1 can be a few names off the top of your head)

{Ed002's Note - No, all of that new stuff is very far fetched. I like very few films after the late 1960s. My favourite would likely be different tomorrow, but for now Zabriskie Point.}

I think its another bad casting choice. Affleck was a poor choice previously and Pattinson seems to be another.

Re Adam West used to watch them when younger. Its an alright film.

{Ed001's Note - they never get it right, clearly they are just trying to get the middle aged mum market into Batman now.}

Yeah me too doubtful. However, Reeves is a great director, IMO. From his last two films, I am kind of confident that this Batman might turn up to be good as well. The Dark Knight trilogy is the benchmark though.

Justice League ruined the Batman, and even other DC characters as well.

I'm suprised they didn't try and get someone like armie hammer, but Pattinson has done some gokd indie stuff in the past years since twilight. And as far as casting goes there's always a controversy or complaining when anyone is cast in certain roles but quite often they turn out to be latest fine and sometimes great. As far as on screen portrayals of batman for me there have been great movies called with batman name in, but never a great on-screen portrayal do batman/Bruce wayne. The best portrayal was probably in batman begins but I als felt like Ben Affleck did a good job in batman vs superman

You have to watch Adam West batman, it is a thing of beauty 😂!

I’m willing to give him a chance as Batman, but so far bale is the best Imo, the games to a better job with all the characters though.

Always thought Keaton was a good batman. Kilmer an Clooney were awful. Bale was alright as batman but not as Bruce if that makes sense. I'll reserve judgement till I see the new one.

{Ed001's Note - Keaton? Really?}

Fairly recently I watched the Batman movies from 89 to 97, and none of them were any better than Bale in my view. I think Nolan did a great job with the Dark knight trilogy and had a really great cast too.
Now I am going to watch the Adam West batman movie as suggested by the legend himself ed2. Seems it is universally regarded as thra best batman so let's see.

Also ed1 (and ither readers) what is your favourite movie?(off the top of your head will be fine) I plan to spend my holidays watching some movies so let's see.


Cheers

{Ed001's Note - for me it is either Enter The Dragon or Ong Bak.}

Ed your not going to convince the 9 year old version of me that Keaton wasn't a good batman.

{Ed001's Note - even as a kid it was an abysmal film mate. I have never seen him act well in anything.}

Keaton was on in Spiderman homecoming ed1, imo

{Ed001's Note - he was dreadful in that I thought.}

I meant OK ed1.

{Ed001's Note - ah right. I thought he almost ruined it personally. I just don't find him believable, he is still doing Beetlejuice and it was crap back then.}

Never seen Beetlejuice ed1, but it seems to have good ratings on IMDb and rotten tomatoes.

Also ed1 have you ever considered doing top 10s about movies? Like let's say your top 10 best movies, or top 10 best characters, or even ranking the Batman casting, etccc.

Would be a fun article to read but I do understand there aren't enough hours in a day for you to do all the things you already do with your review, edits, profiles, etc.

Have a great weekend eds

{Ed001's Note - it would be nice to do stuff like that but it is difficult finding the time. I would have to split movies into genres as it would otherwise just be 10 martial arts films as they are my first love. I ended up watching The Raid again last night as it was on just as I was about to switch the TV off and go to sleep. I had forgotten how great a film that is.

I will have a go at trying to do one every so often when I get a few minutes spare, as I can do them off the top of my head, rather than needing to research them, they would not take too long. I know it would mean I would probably forget ones, but at least people can have some fun reminding me of the ones I missed and making me want to tear up the list and start again!}

Ok thanks ed1. Also just like to say it, I would also prefer it if you would do them off the top off your head. Because when you start thinking about them then it would take days to even remember all the ones that fit the criteria.

Even when someone asks me what is your favourite film, I will always come up with 5_10 different names every time.

Also your lists and articles are always a fun read.

Cheers

{Ed001's Note - cheers mate, I will do that then. More fun to write that way as well.}
