I don't really follow today's movie stars. I know he was big in the "Twilight" series and did a few arty films after that, but - was he succeeding before landing this role? I feel like you never really heard much about him anymore.

Fans Wants Kristen Stewart As Catwoman Alongside Robert Pattinson’s Batman

The recent reports that Robert Pattinson is all but locked in as the successor to Ben Affleck in The Batman sent shockwaves throughout social media. The sadly predictable reaction touched on Pattinson’s time in the Twilight franchise, as folks behaved with puzzled dismay that anyone who’d appeared in something so disgustingly feminine could ever be their rock-solid man’s man Caped Crusader.

Perhaps they’re forgetting that this whole scene played itself out just over a decade ago though when Heath Ledger was announced as the new Joker. Sure, he’s now considered the finest actor to play the role, but at the time fans were positively howling with derision.

But if this new campaign bears fruit, that howling might reach a new volume. That’s because Twilight fans, hopped up on the news that they’re going to get to see Pattinson in a sculpted rubber suit,

No, people don’t want to see a black Batman. People do want to see a black Captain America because Falcon was Captian America in the comics. But they do not want to see a black Steve Rogers.

That’s why people were up in arms over a black Johnny Storm but embraced Miles Morales as a black Spider-Man. Miles was welcomed as a black Spider-Man in Into the Spider-Man because he wasn’t playing a black Peter Parker but an original character. No one wants to see a black Bruce Wayne, just like no one wants to see a black Clark Kent. But if it’s about the character in R236, then that’s fine since he isn’t Clark Kent.
