Batman Casting Backlash Wasn't as Bad as Twilight, Says Robert Pattinson
The Batman star Robert Pattinson reveals the casting backlash he received for playing Batman was not as bad as when he was cast in Twilight. London-born Pattinson first came to public attention in the role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005). Three years later he shot to international fame when he was cast in the role of vampire Edward Cullen in the big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's smash hit YA novel Twilight, as well as the subsequent sequels The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 & 2.
