Why Fans Hated These Batman Movie Castings

[@thinktankstudios]

No matter what you do, Not everyone's going to be happy until they actually see the performance. I feel like filmmakers making comic book movies just have to accept that.

[@albertokorogu1258]

fans have to accept that and realize their patterns too

[@batboythecool]

They did not have to roast Keaton like that😭

[@WarpingFist]

WSJ had no chill back then lol

[@AndrewCereijo]

And now people have stayed quiet praising each actor in this video. Love it. Pattinson did great and I'm excited to see more of him

[@hectorgabrielsanchez6929]

Robin Williams actually lobbied for the Joker in 1989, then was tricked into casting Jack Nicholson in the role.

[@WarpingFist]

Yeah, I heard about that. Studios were so dirty back then.

[@brandonspain12345]

Recently, Michael Biehn revealed that he was being auditioned to play Batman and an executive told him that they had two picks. Keaton and Nicholson as Batman and Joker and the other was Biehn and Williams. So had Nicholson still said no and they had to keep Robin Williams, they would've automatically had to let go of Micheal Keaton as Batman. (Which I'm sure would've pleased the haters at the time if Kyle Reese was Batman instead of Mr. Mom. Lol.)

[@AbrasiousProductions]

son of a bitch.. as much as I love Nicholson, Williams would've been amazing, I've always wanted to see him in a more villainous role (any suggestions for a villainous Robin Williams movie by the way?)

[@AbrasiousProductions]

@@WarpingFist still are.

[@Maxime_G]

​@@AbrasiousProductions One Hour Photo or Insomnia, these are movies where he plays the villain

[@brandonspain12345]

Damn, with this many hate, fake rumors, hate art, or preferring other fancastings is still something we're gonna get with social media now. ESPECIALLY with James Gunn's DCU. People's whining and complaining Kyle Chandler is too old as Hal Jordon, David Corenswet being too scrawny or fans wishing they kept Henry Cavill is not too dissimilar to fans hating Tobey Maguire for being "too whimpy" to be Spider-Man or wishing they kept Christian Bale. It's like what they always say: Those that forget the past are damned to repeat it...

[@WarpingFist]

Its crazy because there was a dude who created a petition to remove Ben affleck as batman, and they did the same ting the pattinson years later. It's like they had short term memory.

@@AaronPablos-ll3vk Dunno, I kinda just make as I go. I don't really have a schedule

[@HunterShark300]

Same thing happening again with Barry Keoghan as Joker. Some fans already hate his portrayal despite barely seeing him for a few seconds in two scenes. They also hate his appearance because it's not "comic-accurate", when we didn't even get a clear look at him. And I'm telling you, Barry is gonna NAIL it in the sequels, perhaps even get an Oscar for it as well. He's one of the best young actors working today.

[@mittensthekittens]

There’s stuff that shows his face, and ngl he looks like Temu Heath ledger

[@DarkBowserr]

after that deleted scene his appearance is the most faithful and realistic that’s what I expect someone who fell into a vat of chemicals to look like

[@batboythecool]

Its a cycle that won't end. Its pretty much inevitable.

[@Vendaxel]

I think creatives should not be afraid to do what they want, as long as they keep the soul of the source material

[@WarpingFist]

Exactly my feeling on it

[@gameover9390]

Amen

[@alphonso4714]

I loved Pattinson's version of a younger and angrier Batman, and I personally thought his physique was fine, his physique also resembles the Batman Year One look a lot, this universe is also supposed to be a lot more grounded and realistic, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to see a 6'4 230 pound jacked guy fighting super fast and being agile. My dad who trained MMA for over 10 years said that his physique was fine and his fighting style was realistic, which was mainly boxing and Muay Thai.

[@NyctoPhobia197]

The fans saying that Ben affleck looked nothing like Batman even tho he was a spitting image of Bruce Wayne from the animated series will never not be funny 😂

[@tobiaspegues7318]

Imagine how much hate when James Gunn cast his Batman for the DCU.

[@BuryTheLight-tds]

Well, there's already some hate for David Corenswet from the Snyder and Henry Cavil meat riders

[@Lancehendrix813]

@@BuryTheLight-tdsexactly. Cannot wait to enjoy that movie next year and as for my personal honeymoon; reading all the posts on twitter of people absolutely seething over it

[@JoeChillton]

All a cycle. It's tiring from complaining about the new Superman to the inevitable recasting of Wolverine. Around and around

Pattison's Batman was great and he's my favorite live action Batman

[@Maxime_G]

The movie was good, definitely not bad at all, but not amazing

[@NorvandaTrell]

I see no problem with Pattison I'm looking forward to batman 2

[@DarkBowserr]

I was one of those who hated Pattinson’s casting until I saw the film for myself now he’s my favorite Batman and The Batman is my favorite Batman film the best in my opinion.

[@WarpingFist]

why did you rewind to look huh?

[@KabirBrooo]

@@WarpingFist 🤫🤫

[@nexfilms97]

ermm actually the highest quality of this video is only 1080p so it should be "i caught you bro in HD"

[@brewmaster2912]

If there’s one lesson Batman has taught us, don’t disregard the casting until the movie comes out. We still haven’t learned this lesson yet.

[@Anonymous.Throne]

LMAO. The Keaton slander will always be hilarious

[@sm4carnageihope]

"People questioned Tobey Maguire's acting ability" I still do

[@ultimateslinger9857]

I love this video. I really like how diverse your content is. Always trying new things👍

[@BucketSoup2023]

Fan casts are always so shallow. Every single black person to exist gets fan casted as Miles Morales. And Willem Dafoe would make a great Joker because... he can laugh?

[@Maxime_G]

Yeah, people just want Willem Dafoe because of the Green Goblin

[@joshfactor1]

how could anyone hate heath? he was great

[@WarpingFist]

There are people out there who hate his Joker

[@shhh5743]

It happens every time. Definitely gonna happen when Batman is casted for the DCU

[@madmau]

12:39 this aged poorly.

[@Not-spelt-like-at]

Why I don’t actually know what happened?

[@sad_dream]

John Campea must have some of the worst takes on cbm yt

[@WarpingFist]

I like his videos most times. However, sometimes the dudes rants leads him to say some stupid things.

[@eagc7]

Like the dude is going they won't do Young Avengers despite the clear set up in the films, even with the Marvel's, he's still they will never do it.

[@traplord1829]

I mean aye Christian bale as Batman was perfect

[@bettercallytp]

Love the Batman videos! Keep going man! 💪🏻

[@davidfraga191]

crazy how his jaw wasnt square enough like jesus u casting the crimson chin

[@alessiorando100]

"Fans" should shut their mouth and let creatives do their job. I'm so happy when these so called "fans" are proven wrong... And this happen almost all the time... Will ever they learn?!

[@LoverOfManyArts]

I love the fact that Burton chose Keaton for Batman, a match made in heaven! 😁 🖤💛

[@neutralbychoice3584]

Batman is a ninja, not a wrestler. He should be more lean to allow him to do all the ninja stuff.

[@ToaAxiomMan]

This feels like a cyclical cycle

[@tomhanson4008]

I want a funny/serious Batman movie with Jon Hamm as Bruce Wayne and Aaron Paul as Red Hood. It would be written by Matthew Weiner and Raphael Bob-Waksberg. Jon Hamm’s Bruce Wayne will be revealed as an imposter and we’ll find out that Will Arnett is the real Bruce Wayne.

[@Marchew1200]

Even for the 60’s show the first choice for batman was an actor who had a much more muscular and taller physique but Adam West was just a better actor in the way he said his lines with emotions.

[@WarpingFist]

@@Marchew1200 yeah, another example of intent winning over physique

Same thing will happend when ethan peck gets cast as batman

[@EonKM24]

[@stephenlaurie759]

Listen every Batman casting was perfect especially Keaton, he was the perfect Batman as far the look, Pattinson did great for the aesthetic of the Batman they were all great when it came down to the style of the movie scenario , everyone has to whine and complain no ones good enough until you see the performance, it's like just wait until you can see what they really got IDC once that suit is on its game time for them

[@Macaco_Gotico]

15:08 great way to make someone watch a film and give it a chance, say it's not for the fans

[@michaeljordan5630]

And then Ben affleck happen and prove to us why we can’t have the Batman we need

[@Macaco_Gotico]

13:29 he's fucking right. A batman that doesn't care to be strong, only to have a big glove to punch. This shit is azrael, not batman

[@themadtitan7603]

In fairness to the John Campea clip at the start, he was complaining about the infamous interview where Robert Pattinson claimed he's not working out for The Batman. And even then, he prefaced this is only in case he's being serious & not saying it in jest. Unless you just included because it fit the the theme, which then fair enough imo. I just thought I'd point it out just in case.

[@WarpingFist]

Yeah, the rant was form the GQ interview, where pattinson was clearly being very sarcastic the whole time so I was very disappointed when John reacted in that way. That rant didn't do anything but add to the negative views of Pattinson and his work ethic at the time. The rant' s only in here because it fits the theme yeah.

[@irvinreevesinbaraj6134]

I don't even watch John Campea. I just think he's another shill on YT

[@hazzboytv6568]

I’m sorry but if you ever actively lobbied for Scott ‘accident man’ Adkins to play the Dark Knight then you have no right to complain about casting decisions

[@skersein]

this shows how shallow comic book fans are

[@Macaco_Gotico]

14:23 he's also right, he seems to not give a fuck about the role he got. He is in fact a bad actor

Pattinson did suck as Batman. He could have been alright in the part, but the writing was atrocious in that movie.

[@Maxime_G]

Actually, he wasn't the problem ;) if the movie has big flaws, Pattinson isn't one

[@DarthKato]

@@Maxime_G I disagree. He was very poorly written in that movie. He came across as bratty and an idiot. Pattinson could have done the role well, but he was letdown by the writing team.

​​@@DarthKato that's... exactly what I said 😑 You're just confusing actor and character right now.
