Down To Two For The Next “Batman”
It appears that the race is down to two people as to who will be the next actor to take on the dual role (on screen) as “Bruce Wayne/Batman.”
Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult are the finalists and both will be shortly screen-testing IN COSTUME. Hey, it ain’t real til we see you in a cape and cowl, yes?
BATMAN UPDATE: Robert Pattinson & Nicholas Hoult are screen testing for the role. I suspect they're screen testing in the Batsuit because Wardrobe Department will need full wardrobe test. Additionally, the film will now start production in Q1 2020.🦇 pic.twitter.com/eekafrqomL

Director Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” is said to be a take on Batman’s early years and will start production in the first part of 2020.
Pattinson, of course, is known for his work as the vampire “Edward” in the “Twilight” films. Hould is now most recognized for his work as “Beast” in the current “X-Men” films.
