We now have the new Batman. Robert Pattinson has officially signed the former Twilight star to play the Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. The new Warner Bros. superhero film is set to come out on June 25, 2021. The studio confirmed on Friday that Pattinson signed the deal. Pre-production for the film is expected to start this summer, but we don’t know yet when filming is going to start. Reeves, who directed the last two Planet of the Apes films, took over directing duties of this film from Ben Affleck in January 2017. He will also co-produce the film with Planet of the Apes collaborator Dylan Clark.
