Is the new Batman worthy of the Dark Knight title?

Through the glorious years of Adam West all the way to Ben Affleck.

The universe has had its run of good (and bad) Batmans. In the upcoming years we will soon have Robert Pattinson leading to the ultimate question, is this new actor going to be better or worse for the future of our beloved Dark Knight?

While we all have our different opinions on the actor, his acting skills are much broader and serious before and after the Twilight series. His many portrayals in other films have made him a much better role for upcoming movies such as his recent role in High Life (2018) which received an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. W

hile many fans and critics believe Pattinson has no right to claim the role of the mysterious DC crime-fighter due to his past role as a self-loathing and depressed vampire in the Twilight series. It's hard to argue his acting skills couldn't fight the same emotion as an overly depressed and wealthy hero.

I mean generally speaking Edward Cullen was pretty much the same as Batman besides the expensive suits and crime-fighting. However, the two both find common ground in regards to bats (in the sense vampires suck blood and so do bats) and a depressing, dramatic past that represents the way they act, behave and live in everyday life.

While I firmly believe we should all learn to accept change and positively embrace the new Batman we are getting (because they aren't going to change it over some whiny men who didn't enjoy a supernatural romance movie series).

Robert Pattinson is a diverse actor and whether you're still stuck on a movie that even he hated or learning to love his acting skills in all the other films he is amazingly doing so well with I highly advise you embrace what is to come and prepare yourself for the upcoming DC movie, The Batman.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
