Robert Pattinson established himself globally, with his role in the vampire romance movie – The Twilight Saga. He portrayed the role of the vampire, Edward Cullen, and became a teenage sensation. But despite the fame, this role brought with it, it also led to a problem of typecasting where he struggled to find deep and meaningful roles after this. He first broke away from typecasting with the 2012 movie – Cosmopolis, and then an even more haunting role in the movie – The Rover. Since then he has done many dark roles, but what managed to establish a new image of Robert Pattinson was the 2022 movie – The Batman. This role managed to give him a completely different sector of fans and in fact, he was even appreciated for his excellent portrayal of the iconic figure - Batman.
