The Batman 2 Cancelation Rumors Addressed After Robert Pattinson’s Latest Movie Role Report

As Robert Pattinson is being eyed for another major Hollywood franchise, the rumors about The Batman 2 being delayed or canceled get addressed.

It would be a disappointment if Sklenar could not take on the role of Batman in the DCU.I believe he’d do a great job with the role, and would bring a fun and unique charisma to the iconic character.Fortunately, it is clear that Sklenar will continue to become a bigger star in Hollywood, and the actor will soon be a household name. Whether or not he is eventually cast inThe Brave and the Bold, I’d wager that audiences will be hearing more from Brandon Sklenar for a long time to come.
