Robert Pattinson has been chosen to play Batman in the new superhero film. Affleck took to Twitter in January to confirm he was departing the role of Batman. Michael Keaton played the titular character in 1989's 'Batman' - which was directed by Tim Burton - and Val Kilmer and George Clooney have also taken on the role, in 'Batman Forever' and 'Batman & Robin' respectively. What's more, Christian Bale played the character in Christopher Nolan's trilogy, 'Batman Begins', 'The Dark Knight' and 'The Dark Knight Rises'. Although many people will be thrilled to hear that Pattinson has secured the role, Clooney recently said that Armie Hammer would make a great Batman.
