I’m not sure if you know this, but a lot of the information out there that we take as fact isn’t even officially confirmed by studios. I’m talking about stuff reported on by Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and Deadline — some of the biggest and most reliable entertainment outlets out there. However, the track record with these guys is so clean that we now take most of what they say as fact, regardless of whether or not the studio has made a statement. And it’s usually not until months or weeks later that a studio says anything.

I say this as kind of a lead-up to the news surrounding Robert Pattinson. In case you missed it, virtually everyone and their mother was reporting on the news that he’d been hired to play the Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman. However, while everyone was reporting that it was on course to be a done deal, it was never confirmed by anyone actually involved in the project (at least not publicly). Until last night.

I mean, the implications here seem clear enough. Whether or not you’re on board with it, Pattinson is likely going to be playing Bruce Wayne in the very near future. If nothing else, he has the jawline for it, and if you take a look at the dude in a lot of his indie flicks, you’ll know he’s got the chops to carry scenes from an acting perspective.
