Robert Pattinson remembers an airport worker inquiring as to why he gave up acting following Twilight: “My name is Batman.”

Robert Pattinson is still alive even if he no longer sparkles in the sunlight. Regretfully, the memo has not reached everyone.

While traveling to St. Vincent and the Grenadines with his fiancée Suki Waterhouse, the Mickey 17 star recently told.

The New York Times that he discovered this firsthand when an immigration official recognized him and stopped him at passport check.

She said, “Hey, you’re the guy from Twilight,” Pattinson remembered. “What made you quit acting?” The performer was unsure about how to fix her error: “I was like… ‘I’m Batman?'” To which he said, “She just laughed.”

Despite being well-known for playing Edward Cullen in the YA vampire series, Pattinson has been quite active since the story’s conclusion with.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 in 2012. To the credit of the immigration officer, Pattinson also stated that he didn’t anticipate success for such a long time.

He said, “When I got my first job, I never in a million years thought I’d still be doing this.” “It’s unbelievable that this is still going on.”

Pattinson first shifted her focus away from franchises after Twilight’s widespread popularity, concentrating on independent projects and collaborating with auteur filmmakers.

His parts in David Cronenberg’s thriller Cosmopolis, Christopher Nolan’s twisted spy epic Tenet, Claire Denis’ science fiction feature High Life, Robert Eggers’ psychological horror.

The Lighthouse, and the Safdie brothers’ crime drama Good Time won him praise. Then he played the title character in Matt Reeves’ Batman as he attempted to tell the airport worker.

The 2022 movie is rumored to be a part of a trilogy, with the following episode expected to be released in theaters in 2026.

Pattinson said, “I might actually be retiring by the end of them.” Pattinson eschewed the typical Bruce.

Wayne playboy attitude for his depiction of the Caped Crusader, choosing instead to play the role in an emo, off-kilter manner while not wearing his bat suit.

That was the only suggestion I had for Bruce, Pattinson said. Up until now, he has been characterized as a playboy. However, what if he has agoraphobia and is utterly socially awkward?

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly before to the movie’s premiere, the actor reinforced this attitude, saying he like the concept of Bruce not having complete control of his anti-hero character.

“It made more sense with the grieving process if he hasn’t gotten over being the 10-year-old boy who, in his mind, let his parents die,” he stated.

“What he feels is himself, he thinks is an incredibly weak and vulnerable child, and he needs to have an entirely different alter ego to survive himself, let alone fight all the criminals of Gotham.”

On April 18, 2025, Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17 will be released in theaters, marking Pattinson’s second big-screen appearance.
