Robert Pattinson is rumored to be about to sign up to play the titular role in the upcoming The Batman, scheduled for a 2021 release.
Pattinson’s claim to fame stems from his part as angst-ridden teenage vampire Edward Cullen in the sanitized and horror-lite Twilight series, raising deep concern among hardcore Batman fans about the actor’s ability or suitability to take on the role of Gotham City’s dark and menacing persona.
The Twilight star is up against English actor Nicholas Hoult, whose credits include the acclaimed Skins TV show and Mad Max: Fury Road.
