You're a Good Cop
I love that moment in the film. He thinks it's all coming to an end, and what more can he say? Such a perfect line at the perfect moment.
shareI absolutely loved that. I think naysayers are underestimating both how this Batman/Wayne was written, and how much Pattinson is putting into this character, and that scene was one of the reasons why.
It was so awkward, but it was all he could say, and he felt like he had to say something.
The way he was growing so uncomfortable, while everyone around him was ignorant to what was before them, was powerful, as was his subsequent confrontation with Riddler. Pattinson was able to convey so much with body language, as well as with his eyes. Most superhero films rely on having the hero remove his mask for long periods of time, in order to let the actor act. Pattinson is the first I've seen who is able to do so much while in a mask.
shareUnrelated, check out Dredd if you haven't seen it. Karl Urban does fantastic with only half a face :D
Yeah, I totally agree. This movie didn't showcase Pattinson's range, but it certainly did show his ability to act within limited constraints. As I was watching, I actually thought of the movie Rover (also starring Pattinson lol), where Guy Pearce was able to convey so much of his emotional state with very little words, and only his expressions and body language.
Dredd is one of my favorite lesser-known superhero films, and Urban is great in it. I watched it when it was new in theaters and was shocked by how good it was, and finally had a chance to watch it again about a year or so ago, and it definitely held up overtime.
