Kristen Stewart’s Playful Batman Remark Sparks Twilight Reunion Buzz
Kristen Stewart’s recent interview took an unexpected turn when she joked about taking on Robert Pattinson’s Batman role. As she discussed her directorial debut and the possibility of a Twilight reboot, fans were left wondering if a reunion with Pattinson could be on the horizon.
During a lively Carversations chat with Suzie Riemer, Kristen Stewart opened up about her first full-length film as a director, The Chronology of Water. The conversation quickly shifted gears when Stewart reaffirmed her interest in helming a new Twilight project. But the real surprise came when Riemer suggested Stewart should play Robin in a Batman film, prompting Stewart to quip, “Maybe I should play Rob in Batman.” Her clever wordplay—hinting at stepping into the shoes of her former Twilight co-star and ex-boyfriend Robert Pattinson, who now stars as Batman—had everyone laughing.
While the idea of Stewart donning the cape and cowl is a stretch, it ’s sparked plenty of speculation about whether the two could share the screen again in a future Batman installment. Stewart’s quick wit and willingness to poke fun at her past relationship with Pattinson only fueled the excitement among fans.
Could Stewart and Pattinson Team Up in a Batman Sequel?
James Gunn has already dismissed rumors about Robin appearing in The Batman: Part II, noting that only a select few have seen the script and that any talk of Robin’s involvement is pure guesswork. Still, fans can’t help but imagine the possibilities. Traditionally, Robin is a male character, but there are alternate versions—like Carrie Kelley—where Robin is female. If director Matt Reeves ever decided to explore that storyline, Stewart stepping into the role would be a bold move that would definitely grab attention.
One potential snag is the age gap—or lack thereof—between Stewart and Pattinson, since Robin is usually much younger than Batman. Both actors are close in age, which could make the dynamic a bit unconventional. Even if Stewart doesn’t end up in the film, the idea of a female Robin remains an intriguing option for the franchise ’s future.
Stewart Eyes a Return to Twilight—This Time as Director
In a recent red carpet interview, Stewart was asked if she’d consider directing a new take on Twilight. She expressed admiration for the original directors but felt they didn’t fully grasp the scale of what they were creating. Stewart mused about what could be achieved with a bigger budget and more support, saying,
Imagine if we had like a huge budget and a bunch of love and support. I would love to readapt. Yeah, sure. I’ll do the remake. I’m doing it. I’m committed.
Though her comments were off-the-cuff, the thought of Stewart reimagining the saga that launched her career is an exciting prospect for longtime fans. It would be fascinating to see how she would reinterpret the characters she once brought to life alongside Pattinson and the rest of the cast.
