The Batman trailer was the big centerpiece of DC Fandome, and it has certainly generated the necessary hype since its debut. Matt Reeves’ dark, vision of Gotham City and Batman’s world is drawing comparisons to films like David Fincher’s Se7en, while DC fans and mainstream moviegoers are all coming around to the idea that Robert Pattinson can truly take on the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. However, this being a big DC movie, not everything is warm and positive praise – The Batman is already generating plenty of jokes – such as the growing comparison between Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne, and Garth Brooks’ alter-ego, Chris Gaines!

If you need to look twice at the picture above, that’s entirely the point. It’s crazy how much Pattinson actually does look like Chris Gaines.ย

In a world where Chris Gaines isย The Batman,ย his alter-ego can only be one man: rich, musician, playboy, Garth Brooks.ย
