Film Features Robert Pattinson
Being Batman has its perks, including an overall first-look production deal. Robert Pattinson, known for his upcoming role as the next Batman and former role as teen vampire Edward Cullen, signed an expansive production deal that could lead to film projects with Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema as well as television work with Warner’s TV division and HBO Max.
“Warner Bros Pictures and HBO have always been synonymous with groundbreaking filmmaking,” Pattinson said in a statement published by The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m thrilled to be working with them to discover the most exciting new voices in film and television and help bring their visions to life. I’ve loved working with the studio over the years and have so much respect for their dedication, their willingness to take chances and their desire to push the envelope creatively.”
This is the actor’s first production venture. Since coming to prominence in the Twilight films, he has co-starred alongside Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse, played a predatory preacher in Netflix’s Devil All The Time, and bent time in Christopher Nolan’s Tenet. He’ll appear as Bruce Wayne and Batman in Matt Reeve’s The Batman, which is set for a March 4, 2022 release.
“We have been incredibly impressed with Rob’s eye for identifying dynamic new filmmakers. Additionally, he is continually nurturing exciting story ideas into compelling screenplays. We are so excited that Warner Bros and New Line will be his home and that we get to benefit from his creative, commercial passions,” said Courtenay Valenti, President, Production and Development for Warner Bros Pictures, and Richard Brener, President & Chief Creative Officer of New Line Cinema.
Please, please let this somehow lead to the an expansion of the Twilight cinematic universe. Robert I’m begging you!

Man, Tenet really sucked, but The Lighthouse and Devil All The Time did not. I have high hopes for The Batman though.
I watched Tenet. It’s like they spend all this time at the beginning explaining the “artifacts”, the objects with inverted entropy. And then they do… Pretty much nothing with that and focus the entire movie’s plot on the turnstiles.
i also didn’t understand why elizabeth debecki didn’t just grab kenneth branaugh by the scruff of his neck like a puppy and shake him around. she looks like she’s 2 feet taller than he is.
There was a lot about Kenneth Branaugh’s character I didn’t understand.
I feel like, back in the day when producers didn’t instantly start tonguing Chris Nolan’s prostate the moment he walked into the room, both he and his writer, Chris Nolan’s Brother, were still bound by some sort of convention of good writing and movie making that kept them under control. Now that they’ll let them do whatever they want with zero fucking restrictions, we get shit like you said.And, of course Chris Nolan’s Brother is the exact kind of nerd who would spend ages coming up with a “concept” like you said, expositing the shit out of it to prove to viewers how very smart he is, and thinking that’s enough because he doesn’t know what to do with it.See: Westworld Season 2.
I thought Tenet was alright. Not great cinema, but diverting enough.
Devil All the Time sucked. it wasn’t as baffling/headache-inducing as Tenet, sure, but it was just such a pointless parade of miserable things happening to miserable people with no attempt at engaging the audience or giving them respite. about the time of the suicide scene I just totally checked out, like I had no reason to care about what was happening at allgreat cast, bad movie
