Reeves saw the state of this thread and thought he'd help us out.

Peter Sarsgaard Joins Robert Pattinson in ‘The Batman’

Warner Bros. is set to open “The Batman” on June 25, 2021, and has started shooting in the U.K. Earlier this year, it was announced that Ben Affleck would not return as Batman and was no longer involved in any capacity. In May, Variety reported that Pattinson was the frontrunner to replace Affleck. Wright and Kravitz became the next cast members to be announced during the fall.

Well, I was wrong, The Batman has just started shooting according to Variety.
I'm a bit disappointed, but whatever, hopefully the film is good.

 

[Boom]

Good we can finally let that **** rest.

Lanky Batman incoming.

Wow. That soon huh?

 

[Arachnerd]

Can't wait for the anorexic Batman comments. You know they're coming.

 

[Boom]

May still just be early prep work.

On the plus side, if it has started shooting in earnest we are that much closer to the batsuit reveal.

 

[Pennywise]

Hopefully he won’t be skinny by the end of filming.

 

[Schlosser85]

They're already shooting?

 

[Pennywise]

They're already shooting?

According to Variety, yes.

 

[Invader Joker]

I'm not at all optimistic about the batsuit reveal with these news, to be honest. If Bale looked skinny in his batsuit, I can't imagine how Pattinson will look in his. Maybe I'll be wrong but agh.

But yeah, it could just be prep work if we take into account that in just 2 weeks they're gonna have to stop because of the holidays. So it really could just be setting up shots and stuff and how the city is going to look, rehearsals, etc.

‘The Batman’ Adds Peter Sarsgaard To Cast – Deadline

Deadline says "production starts soon".
It could be that, as suggested in another thread, they're doing makeup tests and stuff of that nature, prep work.The studio typically releases a press release when they actually begin filming.

Bale being skinner in TDK/TDKR was the least of that batsuit's problems.

 

[Gut0nez]

We still need confirmation on Farrell's and Sarsgaard's parts, but casting for this movie has been truly incredible so far. Not a single bad actor in the bunch and even though most of them are rather outside the box choices (that's a plus in my book, specially for this movie), they all have the right essence and screen presence for their respective parts. That's casting done right, bravo. I'll still reserve my final judgment for after I've seen the movie, but sight unseen, this is without a doubt my favorite Batman cast ever. Kudos to the casting director.

 

[Invader Joker]

Bale being skinner in TDK/TDKR was the least of that batsuit's problems.

In my opinion it was the biggest one, it lost the imposing factor of the Begins suit. It's honestly the biggest reason as to why I disliked the TDK/TDKR suit.

Robert Pattinson be all like:

 

[Sawyer]

The TDK suit looked bad because the TDK suit was bad. The shape of the actor underneath it is almost entirely irrelevant. They could’ve just padded it if they wanted to match BB. What we got was due to ugly ass design choices, not Bale.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I don't think they're in principal photography. If they're filming it could be just second unit stuff at most.

 

[Boom]

Hollywood basically shuts down from Christmas to New Year so there's only so much they can get done in two weeks.

 

[shauner111]

Where do you think Gotham will be set? What city will they use?

 

[NotNickFury]

They'll use Gotham.

Don't tell me Gotham City isn't real. I won't have it.

Lindy Hemming: "You see that mesh undersuit?"
Chris Nolan: "Yeah."
Lindy Hemming: "We're gonna glue rubber plates all the **** over it."

She struck gold with the BB suit, I really don’t know why they ****ed around with it.

She struck gold with the BB suit, I really don’t know why they ****ed around with it.

Because Christian Bale didn’t like how he couldn’t turn his head.

 

[I Am The Knight]

He was more comfortable in the Puzzle suit.
