Good hire. Pattinson is a good actor from the small indies I've seen. I trust Matt Reeves. He got me to care about cgi monkeys.
He got a bad rep because of that trash Twilight but he is actually a really good actor. I think he will do great as Batman.
I just watched a movie of his called "Good Time". I thought he was great in it. Vampire + Bat = Vampire Bat It adds up.
The boy can act, definitely gonna have to add some weight. Bruce Wayne doesn't need to be hulked out, but he certainly can't be twigboy. As usual how good he will be depends on the material. It seems that DC is slowly pulling their act together, so I'm cautiously optimistic
