Lol, sorry, what do you mean has been done to death? That's, I suppose, meant to be an insulting description of Pattinson but who in God's name thinks he can barely act and also applies to literally no one who has been cast as Batman. It's not just about literal physical size in a movie, it's screen presence - Keaton was wildly more intimidating than Affleck because (and I say this as a huge fan of Affleck's perfromance) he's a much better actor who has more of a menacing presence in the suit.I still say Alan Ritchson, every time I turn on the internet there is news about fan-casting batman and his name pops up, and memes etc. He is basically Batman in Reacher. He is imposing, over 6 feet and looks like he can scare criminals. Picking another skinny whiny pattison type figure from europe who can barely act or prove believability has been done to death before. Let Damian move into that territory. Bats in the comics especially drawn by Smith was over 6 feet and super muscular. It doesn't make sense not to do this. Heck, even Affleck's Batman came at least close to being imposing. So was nolan.
I'll take it a step further about Ritchson and size: you know who is more intimidating than him on screen, having played the same character? Noted lil guy Tom Cruise. Because Cruise is a real actor and Ritchson is a tree stump carved into something vaguely man-shaped.
Yes but what if we went from one of the most acclaimed, respected actors of his generation to a dude with the talent and screen presence of the average lead of a Godfrey Ho movie?Alan Ritchson really is one of the worst popular Batman fancasts I’ve encountered in quite a while, though.

I really love the idea of beliavbility when it comes to Batman. That some people think being a muscle bound dude who is a massive target and can't move is somehow a more believable ninja. As if you know, he wouldn't die the first time he ran into someone with a gun in the first place.I still say Alan Ritchson, every time I turn on the internet there is news about fan-casting batman and his name pops up, and memes etc. He is basically Batman in Reacher.

That makes no sense at all. Chris Kyle was a massive rather large man and real-life Navy Seal sniper when most SEALS are smaller and thin, same with other force recon soldiers and the like. Batman has been drawn in the comics for decades as being large, tall broad shouldered and heavily muscled. So, I don't see some frail actor giving sense to the brave and the bold. Corensweat was asked to bulk up so why would they not do that with Bats? In comics they both have very similar physiques. Ritchson is many people's pic, and REACHER is awesome as hell, as the ratings show. He would fit Punisher or Batman perfectly in all aspects.I really love the idea of beliavbility when it comes to Batman.

Tom Cruise Jack Reacher is an effin badass!I'll take it a step further about Ritchson and size: you know who is more intimidating than him on screen, having played the same character?

It's "comic book big." It's not quite the Alan Ritchson physique. Like, Jim Lee's Batman is musclebound, but comes across as more as more svelte and thinner in a way real human anatomy doesn't really work.Granted, there are a lot of mainstream artists such as Jim Lee, Mikel Janin, and Jorge Jimenez who tend to draw Batman with a massive physique akin to Ritchson's build, but I just don't find him interesting (as an actor) at all. That said, if he's your guy for this, more power to you.
I didn't say it was exactly the same, but all of those artists I mentioned tend to depict the character with a massive/musclebound physique. And as far as actors are concerned, Ritchson's physique comes as close to that as you can get. That's the main reason he's being pushed for the role. It certainly isn't because of his acting chops!It's "comic book big." It's not quite the Alan Ritchson physique.

Because Batman is a NINJA. Not a hulk. He's a detective who hides in the shadows. He's not suppose to kaiju the joint.That makes no sense at all.

My dude, Corenswet isn't some ****ing huge freak of nature beast in Superman. He got pretty close to it but clearly cut down a ton for the actual movie. Pattinson isn't frail, he's just not a steroidal freak like Ritchson. Dude isn't Timothee Chalamet. No one is saying Batman can't be huge, Begins Bale and Batfleck looked great - it's just not a selling point for casting.That makes no sense at all.

All of this is also irrelevant because Alan Ritchson is not a real actor. Please explain to me what makes Ritchson suit playing Batman as a performer and not an anti-charismatic slab.
Also not gonna touch the Chris Kyle thing. 'Cause when I think of Batman, I think of a pathological liar and serial murder fantasist lol
