2022: THE BATMAN (AKA Vengeance)
Manage episode 322700757 series 2865408
When news broke that Robert Pattinson, the sparkly vampire from the "Twilight" franchise, was cast to play Bruce Wayne in the latest Batman film, some fanboys were in a tizzy. What those fans might not have realized, however, is that, post-"Twilight," Pattinson broke away from the mainstream to make a series of art films (like "Good Time" and "The Lighthouse"), many of which explored the darker side of the human psyche.
That experience is part of what made him a perfect fit for this version of the caped crusader.
In this episode, Mike and Brian explore how this darker, more damaged version of Bruce Wayne worked for them, dig into the world of Gotham created by director Matt Reeves and his special effects team, and then rank where "The Batman" fits in their favorite Dark Knight films.
