The Bat-news (or at least Bat-rumors) are coming very quickly this week. Hot on the heels of the news that Robert Pattinson is the top choice to become the new Batman in Matt Reeves’ upcoming reboot of the franchise, The Hollywood Reporter now offers some new details about who will be his nemeses in the film...
Robert Pattinson’s latest movie is wild. A gritty New York crime thriller that’s as exhilarating as it is straight-up disturbing in its acts of violence, Good Time is easily Pattison’s best role to date. As Connie Nikas, a small-time crook desperate to get his mentally challenged brother (Benny Safdie) out of jail, Pattinson gives a performance that’s not too showy or loud, but grounded in a composed and unshakable intensity. The latest film from the Safdie brothers (Heaven Knows What) is brimming with sequences that push the limits of its audience’s comfort, but there was almost one scene that would’ve gone much, much further.
