Ben Affleck's version of the Dark Knight was arguably one of the better elements of the first few movies in the DCEU, but the films themselves were middling to disappointing. Now that he's hung up his cape, it's time for another fresh iteration of Bruce Wayne.

The latest actor to don the outfit is Robert Pattinson, who is probably best known for his turn as vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight series. Some fans weren't particularly pleased with the casting initially due to his association with the teen franchise (but then no-one liked Michael Keaton at first either).

Regardless, Pattinson will appear as Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves's The Batman, due out next year. He'll play a younger version of the character, which is an era of Wayne's life we haven't seen in a while and should be fascinating to watch.

A teaser released this week of Pattinson in full costume for the first time has also got fans talking, with the new suit proving quite popular at a first glance.
