Is anyone? Haha.
I mean, he was fine as Digory and he seems like a nice enough bloke. And he's embarrassed at his bad work and has said so. I think he's an odd choice for Batman, though.

Batman & Batman Returns are still my favorites.
Christian Bale did alright with Batman Begins, but I didn't care for the other two he did.
I say if Pattinson wants to give it a shot, let him... just hope the director has a good story to go with it.
