All DC Comics fans had been holding onto their horses for the biggest reveal of 2020. Everyone had the same question- who will play Batman? Of course, expectations were high because of actors like Ben Affleck and Christian Bale. But when bat-fans found out that the next Batman is Robert Pattinson, well, things went awry.
People have been debating over whether or not Pattinson aka Edward Cullen is the right fit for this role.
Batfans took to social media to troll the producer’s choice. And needless to say, there was a lot of disappointment. While some were outright angry, many relied on humor to get of this shock.
The famous Twilight actor revealed in an interview that he will not bother working out or training for this role. So batfans should not expect an Affleck or Bale level of Batman.
Literally, I’m just barely doing anything. Yesterday I was just googling, I was going on YouTube to see how to microwave pasta.
Memes started to pour on social media, and we couldn’t help but laugh. Here are some of our top-favorite new Batman memes:
Is he old enough for this?

Listen I know this is about "The Batman" but I'd be lying if I said this wasn't closer to how I pictured Edward looking when my emo ass read "Twilight" for the first time in the 9th grade: pic.twitter.com/vXsYs72dWm
