Inevitably, some folks struggled to see past the fact that he’d starred in The Twilight Saga almost ten years previously, but they didn’t have much of an issue with rom-com veteran Chris Evans playing Captain America for a decade, or the guy that played the Tooth Fairy headlining Black Adam.

We’re due at least one more trailer from The Batman before the marketing campaign kicks into high gear, and it can’t come soon enough after the rapturous reception that greeted the DC FanDome spot. The Dark Knight gets rebooted for every generation, but we’re confident that Reeves and Pattinson will find a way to put a brand new spin on a comic book icon that never goes out of fashion.
