Filming on the upcoming Warner Bros. and DC Comics flick is expected to start in late 2019 or early 2020, according to Variety.

The Batman is set to hit theaters on June 25, 2021.

Milo Ventimiglia is explaining why he wasn’t in the running to take over for Ben Affleck in the upcoming Batman film.

The 42-year-old actor says that he wanted the role but he was told by Warner Brothers that he was too old.

“Do I see myself in a cape and cowl?” Milo asked on Variety‘s “Big Ticket” podcast.

While his answer was certainly yes, “Warner Brothers didn’t. They said, ‘Ventimiglia, you’re too old.’”

Milo jokingly added, “It’s okay. It doesn’t matter. By the way, I’m kind of busy.”

By now, we all know that Robert Pattinson was chosen to play Batman in the upcoming movie The Batman.

But, did you know that director Matt Reeves is planning a trilogy of films?!

Matt opened up to THR earlier this year about what his take on the character will be.

“It’s very much a point of view-driven, noir Batman tale. It’s told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it’s going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional,” Matt said.

“It’s more Batman in his detective mode than we’ve seen in the films,” he added. “The comics have a history of that. He’s supposed to be the world’s greatest detective, and that’s not necessarily been a part of what the movies have been. I’d love this to be one where when we go on that journey of tracking down the criminals and trying to solve a crime, it’s going to allow his character to have an arc so that he can go through a transformation.”

Matt Reeves, the writer, director, and producer of the upcoming movie The Batman, has confirmed that Robert Pattinson is the star of the film!

Matt confirmed the news with a tweet showing a GIF of Robert from the movie Good Times with three bat emojis.

The Batman is set to be released in 2021. Originally, Ben Affleck was attached to the role of Batman in the DC Universe movies, however, he stepped away from the iconic character.

News broke late last week that Robert had booked the role, but it wasn’t 100% confirmed until now.

Robert Pattinson reportedly won the battle to become the next Batman!

Reports surfaced earlier in the month that Robert and Nicholas Hoult were both in contention for the role in the upcoming The Batman among other frontrunners, but the 33-year-old Twilight actor has reportedly been approved by Warner Bros. for the role according to Deadline on Friday (May 31).

“Pattinson has been considered a front runner because the filmmaker liked him, but the studio was torn between him and Nicholas Hoult, and wanted both of the actors on tape because this is such a big decision on a cornerstone Warner Bros DC franchise. Those meetings happened yesterday, I’m told, and the decision was made. Hoult, who starred in Tolkien and is about to reprise in X-Men: First Class, was impressive, but Pattinson will be the guy and negotiations will get underway any moment…expect an announcement imminently,” the report reads.

The Matt Reeves-directed movie is set to be released in June of 2021.

Robert Pattinson or Nicholas Hoult will take on an iconic new role!

The 33-year-old Twilight actor and the 29-year-old Tolkien star are on the short list to play Batman in the upcoming superhero film The Batman, according to Deadline on Thursday (May 16).

An earlier report from Variety declared that Robert was the pick, but Deadline reports that “the bat suit isn’t filled yet” and “they like both guys, with Pattinson holding the edge.”

The Matt Reeves-directed film hits theaters on June 25, 2021. Pre-production is expected to start this summer. A final version of the script is still being drafted, according to the report.

Filming “could start in late 2019 or early 2020.”

The news follows Ben Affleck‘s decision to leave the character behind after initially signing on to star, write and direct.

“We worked on the script, I was trying to figure out how to crack it, and I was never happy enough with it where I thought it was worth going out and making it because I just didn’t want to do a version that I wasn’t really excited by, so I still don’t know,” he said recently of exiting the project.
