No, Really. This Time It IS the END of the Batman Franchise!!11

[Mini-rant] People get so angry about a particular actor being given an acting role in a film and

Will the real Batman please stand up? Please stand up?

asked to act!

It's almost as if they've only seen that actor in one thing and can't think of him/her acting in anything else. And yet, they do. They do act in other things. That's why their job is called "acting" and they are called "actors" and they take on roles that they like (or want) and that other people casting them in those roles believe they will do well in. 

It’s almost like the people making these movies have some sort of “process”. 

The most recent in a long line of actors who “fans” claimed could never do justice to their favorite characters is Robert Pattinson who has won the dubiously coveted role of playing yet another iteration of Bruce Wayne/Batman. It’s hilariously facepalm-worthy to watch people fume and fuss over an ACTOR who has also ACTED in a series where he played a wholly different dark and brooding character who seemed rather fond of the night. 

While there certainly have been miscast actors, I can’t believe this is one of those times. Viewing the trailer this morning, I saw absolutely nothing objectionable about Pattinson in the role. In fact, I saw nothing OF Pattinson. I saw Batman doing Batman-y things. 

Before Affleck was going to destroy the franchise, it was Bale would couldn’t carry the cowl. Before him, Kilmer and Clooney were going to trip on their own caps. Before that, it was Keaton who the studio insisted on replacing. 

Yet, here we are, with the 12^th film The Batman looking to release next year. [/Mini-rant]
