Robert Pattinson IS The Batman

[OutOfBoose]

Affleck is larger than average guy. Even without a ripped body (just a regular or dad bod type) he would still look impressive just due to his frame, wearing regular clothes.

But there's no photographic or video proof of his achievements. Unlike Jackman, MCU dudes, Momoa or Cavill.

Adam West the ideal physique.

I always did find it odd ... then obsessing over physique in here

The opposite can also be true. Batmen sheds some pounds as he gets older to put less stress on his knees.

This is actual logic. This is what beyond 30 pro athletes typically do ...

It tends to be the opposite with professional fighters, boxers at least. As they get older and reach their peak, they tend to fill out more, which often continues during their decline because they start to lose endurance and become more efficient with their movements and burn less energy. (Eg. See Ali for instance, starts out pretty lean, almost wirey, then fills out as he heads into his peak, then as he gets older and slows down, he packed on more pounds.)

Just a bunch of manly dudes, celebrating each other's strength....

I'm more concerned with whether or not his hair will be black/dark than his physique tbh

Which might be a petty nitpick but idunno

Based on the limited set photos we have, it looks like you will not be disappointed on that issue, Pattinson's hair, while not black, appears to be a dark brown as Bruce:

I would've preferred straight up black but I'll take what I can get lol

That mop on Pattisnon looks a little boyish. I wonder if that's a flashback to his very early vigilante days and later they give him a shorter, more suave do.

Nah, it's probably just not styled as a result of wearing the helmet.

I doubt it is a flashback as Penguin seems to have been on set for the same scene. I don't think it is a good enough photo to characterize the style as a "mop" or "boyish". Bruce appears to be going incognito in the scene and the hair is likely messier and different from his usual style. That is probably further exacerbated by the scene apparently involving him taking off a motorcycle helmet.

If his hair is going to be a bit messier, I'd suspect we are getting a Neal Adams-style for Bruce:

Or you know, BTAS Bruce (who with his messy hair... and more heroic personality... is way better than TNBA Bruce with his cold personality and perfectly slicked hair):

It definitely looks shorter and closer cut that Pattinson's hair for Tenet or Bale's hairstyle for TDK and TDKR.

 

[Schlosser85]

I don't think we should read much into Bruce's hair not being all debonair while he's just been riding around on a motorcycle.

 

[Enriquespy]

Also, is that a set pic??

 

[Boom]

Also, is that a set pic??

It is.

Yep, based on the grey military pants and black boots worn by Pattison, there are some who are speculating that he is wearing the Batsuit under the jacket, with the cape and cowl in his backpack. the thought is it might be a gritty military Batsuit a la Zero Year.

They could also go for something like Gary Frank's, Brian Bolland's or Lee Bermejo's hairstyles for Bruce.

And since you mention Neal Adams, here's another haircut he gave Bruce in an issue, though I think this one risks making Pattinson look too mild-mannered but you never know.

 

[The Guard]

I don't know why anyone is focused on one hairstyle. You don't cast Robert Pattinson and then not do all kinds of things with his hair.

That and he's literally on a motorcycle and people are "his hair is messy, what does it mean??"

A real burning question...how sexual is Pattinson's Bruce gonna be?

Bale's Bruce seemed practically asexual for the most part, doing that act where he puts on a show of always parading around with a couple of models on his arm but is implied to be reclusive and mysterious, meaning he's probably not actually going to bed with any of them (which, honestly, would only add to, not detract from, his air of mystery, though to be honest people's suspicions would probably run more to "he's gay" than "I bet he's Batman"). Though after two movies of getting cockteased by two consecutive Rachel Daweses, he finally, eight years later, got a tastefully discreet PG-13 roll in the sack in front of a crackling fireplace with.....a woman plotting to kill him. And made out a little with Anne Hathaway. Git it, Christian.

It's been a long time since I've seen his movies, but I'm pretty sure Keaton's Bruce at least gets it on with a few women here and there, despite being far and away more neurotic than Bale's Bruce. See Christian? You can have a sex life. It's okay.

Batfleck had at least one lady friend in his bed at his lakehouse or wherever.

 

[Invader Joker]

I always assumed that Bale's Bruce Wayne had sex with a couple of the models and ballerinas he was seen around with. I don't know, it never seemed to me like he dreaded that part of the playboy persona, he kinda seemed to be into it. Nolan just never showed a sex scene because it wasn't relevant to the story.

And Keaton screwed Vicki Vale in the first film and almost had sex with Selina in the second one so yeah, that Batman has sex.

To me it was always clear since Batman Begins, that it was all an act for the sake of appearances.

Particularly this exchange:

Bruce Wayne : And what does someone like me do?
Alfred Pennyworth : Drive sports cars, date movie stars, buy things that are not for sale... who knows, Master Wayne? You start pretending to have fun, you might even have a little by accident.

Then the next very scene, Bruce goes on to do every single one of those things, in order, to the tee.

It was very much like a child who didn’t know the intricacies of what it meant to be another persona, so they simply followed the exact instruction provided to them by their guardian.

I still think he probably had sex with some of those models. It just seems natural and there's nothing to really imply he didn't. But who knows.
