We don't want Robert

Robert Pattinson has been linked with the title role of Batman in the next film to feature the Gotham City vigilante. However this news of Pattinson even being considered caused bit of a backlash with some fans launching a petition to dump Pattison from the role. The reason for this extreme reaction can be traced to Pattinson's role in the teenage vampire romance film series Twilight. Though the Twilight films were a massive box office success they were predominately seen by teenage girls and looked down upon by male viewers. Since the end of the Twilight series Pattinson has mainly worked in low budget films. Other actors being considered for the role of Bruce Wayne are Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Arnie Hammer. Hoult and Taylor-Johnson have comic book experience through the X-Men and Kick Ass films while Hammer played another mask wearing avenger in 2013's infamous The Lone Ranger co-starring Johnny Depp as Tonto. We should be hearing who is wearing the cape and mask in the next few months.
