Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson: The Joker‑in‑Bat‑Dream Team
Kristen Stew‑S-? — the woman who gave us a power‑full “I‑will‑fail‑with‑girl” look as Bella Swan— says she’s buzzing about the idea of playing the Joker in the Batman franchise. The talk is back‑and‑forth between a former love‑story that could’ve turned into a rom‑com thriller and a blockbuster about a caped crusader.
What’s the hype?
- The online cast‑call for a Joker‑in‑Batman came out, and rumors swirled that Kirsten might team up again with her ex‑partner Robert Pattinson, who’s snagged the role of Batman.
- Kristen praised the online energy, bragging it “feels like we’re just rolling the dice” and was up for a “freaky, scary” role.
- When ET asked “No?— you shut the gate?” Kristen answered that she wasn’t a total “no sir” but nothing like “thrilled”. “Let’s spin something brand‑new,” she joked.
They’re Torch‑Burners, Not Fire‑Chasers
That teasing romance with Robert lasted four years, sizzling until 2012 after Kristen was spotted kissing director Rupert Sanders. Now, Robert, 35, embraces his Bat‑suit assignment with a mix of odd reverence and a sense of adventure.
- He calls it a “strange‑but‑exciting” experience and loves the idea that he’s putting a new spin on a legend that has roared on screen – from Bale to Affleck to himself.
- “I guess I’m caught between a “I’m the real hero” moment and a “this ain’t real, but I’m having a blast” one,” he says.
The Takeaway
In short, both stars are exploring fresh territory, even by remembering that they were once a high‑profile duo. They’re laughing about how the storyline at this point could be shining a spotlight on their new paycheck and not their old romance.
