Alleged First Reaction to ‘The Batman’ Leaked Online
It feels like Robert Pattinson’s The Batman was announced forever ago, but we’re still several months away from it being released. Matt Reeves was hired to direct the film all the way back in 2017 and it’s been a slow process. Little is known about the film outside of the teaser trailer that Warner Bros. dropped last year. However, a bit of information may have leaked.
A Twitter user named BluRayAngel claims to know a person who has seen a cut of The Batman. The alleged person described it as a “horror movie” and praised Paul Dano’s performance as Riddler.

This person also referred to the Batmobile “f***ing slayed” and Pattinson’s Batman voice was “perfect.” You can watch the full video breakdown of what he had to say below.

Obviously, take all of this with a grain of salt. BluRayAngel isn’t a known Hollywood insider and I personally don’t know of any scoops he’s had in the past. That isn’t to say that what he’s saying isn’t true, just remain cautiously optimistic.
There are reasons to be excited about The Batman. Reeves is a talented director and Pattinson has completely rebuilt his image since Twilight. Warner Bros. has also let them take their time with the production. It would’ve been very easy for them to try and fast-track a new Batman movie as it’s the studio’s most popular superhero character. While it’s far too early to tell if the film will actually be good, the signs are promising.
