CinemaBlend Twilight film series, Robert Pattinson is now boosting his Hollywood profile playing one of pop cultureâs most famous superheroes. Weâll see the actorâs take on Bruce Wayne when Matt Reevesâ The Batman arrives next year, with Pattinson being the seventh actor to play Gotham Cityâs Dark Knight in a live-action feature film. While it stands to reason that Warner Bros and DC would be interested in making a sequel to The Batman based on the characterâs popularity alone, Pattinson having just signed a new deal with WB could indicate that The Batman 2 is indeed on the way.
