I'm willing to give him a chance. I hear he has been in some good movies since Twilight ended. I won't judge him based on one role.

No the internet didn't exist then. The eighties were a simplier time. People had to actually watch a movie.

I haven't seen Robert Pattinson's work after Twilight, but I've heard he's a really good actor.

Also remember that Robert Pattinson hates Twilight more than everyone else, so hopefully he does a good Batman so he can put the Twilight series behind him.

Was that really their fault though? Suicide Squad was just a terrible film. And Lex, he was just badly written. I don't know how much of that was the fault of the actors.

It was an incredibly bad miscast for both of them. That is not only the director's/writer's fault but also the actor's as well. You get someone like Bryan Cranston to do BvS Lex and just the thought is already more compelling than Eisenberg's whole performance.

Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam already broke the mold.

I have no idea if The Batman is good or not. It's too early to tell. But chances are if the director/script is good they've also made a good choice here. If they're not then the movie is going to be bad regardless.

Everything I'm hearing so far does sound good. It's taking a long ass time to get off the ground though.

Jared Leto didn't choose his style or script. The director did. I think he'd do a better job if he was in a better movie and had better direction.

Jesse could go either way. But again Snyder was awful as handling Superman stuff in general. Totally wouldn't surprise me if Snyder wanted Lex to be like he was.

Cranston wouldn't have been able to save BvS anyway.

I remember being loving the casting of Leto as Joker until they saw what he looked like. Eisenberg yes no one ever wanted him as Lex. That was always bad. However it doesn't matter who played them since it writing and direction that really sucked and would have sucked regardless.

I originally thought he was too scrawny to be Batman but after seeing a recent picture he's bulked up considerably. He's not quite as broad as Affleck, but he's big enough to play the role.

I only saw the first Twilight before I tapped out so I don't really carry the hatred that a lot of folks here do. I know him more from like Water for Elephants and stuff. I think he can fit into the part well enough.

Kinda funny how people blame directors yet compare these casting decisions to Ledger. Nolan gave all the credit of Ledger's performance to Ledger. Even 8 minutes of Ledger Joker out of context is better than 8 minutes of Eisenberg or Leto's roles. Even with bad writing and a bad director a character like Lex or Joker should fucking shine lol they're just making awful casting decisions.

Leto's offscreen antics basically confirmed he didnt know wtf the character was about to begin with.

Lex in BVS was the worst portrayal of the character bar none, and as soon as he opened his mouth you wanted to repeatedly punch him in his stupid face for being so annoying, he was a non threat, and would have made a great choice to portray "The Riddler".

Star Wars made Natalie Portman look like a bad actress.

The point is those movies were never going to be good because the flaws were all there from the start.

If this director has a good vision for the movie then that would mean Robert was the one who managed to meet it.

Kinda an unfair comparison. Either way, even so you dont get the same complaints about literally any of the other characters from the BvS or SS movies. Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Mamoa, Margot Robbie just had good direction? Lol

Eh Ben Affleck clearly checked out in Justice League. He was awful there. Outside of his fight scenes I wouldn't say he was anything special either.

You can see why Leto and Jesse were both chosen as well.

Leto was not a controversial choice. He can play charismatic weirdos well. People thought he would do a good job. Maybe the problem there was that he just wasn't a good fit or maybe the problem was that the director wasn't right. It doesn't really matter. He was destined to fail. Nothing went right for that role. Smith was fine being Smith and Margot had a lot more to work with. She also was a completely new for live action movies.

You can also see why Jesse was chosen. Snyder wanted him because of The Social Network. Technically that could lead to an inspired creative decision but it didn't lead to an inspired casting choice. We've seen him do that. So he doubled down on an awkward eccentricity.

The major difference with people like Keaton, Ledger and Pattinson is that they're completely out of the left field. Nobody expected them. So how did they get the part? They probably nailed their audition or they convinced the director they've got something special. As far as I know Pattinson hasn't done a role like this so I'm interested to see what he brings to the table.

I mean, he was a lot like Frank Gorshin. And Riddler was just a minor villain prior to the 1966 TV show.
