Plenty of people want to be Bruce Wayne, but only a few had tackled the task. With the release of ‘The Batman’ on Mar. 4, it’s worth looking back at who has put on the mask.
Robert Pattinson is a British actor most known for his role as Edward Cullen in the ‘Twilight Saga.’ He also appeared ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ in 2005 — one of his first, bigger credited roles. Robert went on to star in films like ‘Water For Elephants’ alongside A-lister Reese Witherspoon and ‘Bel Ami’ opposite Uma Thurman.
In 2019, it was announced that he would be the new Batman in the upcoming 2021 film, ‘The Batman.’ In an interview with ‘Variety,’ Robert expressed just how he felt about playing the iconic role, which has also been played by George Clooney, Michael Keaton, and Christian Bale, just to name a few. “To be honest, it was less vitriolic than I was expecting,” he said. “It’s much more fun when you’re an underdog. There’s no expectation of you.” Ex-girlfriend and former ‘Twilight’ co-star Kristen Stewart praised the actor for landing the role, saying, “I am so happy for him, it is crazy… I’m very, very happy about that. I heard [the news] and was like, ‘Oh man!’ Yeah, it’s awesome.”
