Matt Reeves’ The Batman hits theaters this weekend with Robert Pattinson making his debut as the film’s title hero. It’s the first big screen appearance of Batman since 2017’s Justice League (where he was played by Ben Affleck), which fans would do well to skip and watch 2021’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League instead, which premiered on HBO Max last summer. There’s no bigger comic book character than Batman, and a new Batman film release will always be cause for nerd celebration.

The more realistic you make your Batman movie, the more he looks like the Babadook at a grownups-drinking-wine party whenever he goes to a crime scene pic.twitter.com/muLNUMxpIv

Robert Pattinson is the first Final Fantasy fan to play a version of Batman that would definitely be a Final Fantasy fan

Robert Pattinson does not work as Batman. He has THE most recognizable chin of all time. If Robert Pattinson in our reality started fighting crime undercover in a suit that revealed that jawline, we would all immediately know.

Do you think there are, like, regular clowns in Gotham city who have to struggle make ends meet and have to preface every engagement with “not affiliated with the joker (please don’t call Batman)”?

about to go watch THE BATMAN and I swear to Christ if this thing has any less than 4 Spider-Mans in it I will rip my theater seat loose from its moorings and shotput it through the goddamn screen

Enjoyed The Batman *but* was distracted by the constant presence of the Batman Calzony. It’s in EVERY scene. More than once, Batman ignores a crime because he’s “busy calzonin’”. Pattinsons gruff Batman voice made worse by his mouth constantly being full of marina and pepperoni.

It’s called The Batman, T. I know, they make one every couple of years and it’s always the same thing, but I hear this one is darker and grittier than all the others. pic.twitter.com/3swa2vqlH9
