Actor Kristen Stewart is "happy" that her Twilight series co-star and ex-boyfriend Robert Pattinson has bagged the role of the iconic superhero Batman. Pattinson is set to portray Batman in filmmaker Matt Reeves' upcoming film about the caped crusader. Talking to Variety on the sidelines of Toronto International Film Festival, where her movie "Seberg" will be screened, Stewart said Pattinson is the only actor who could do justice to the role of Batman. Oscar-Winning Director Danny Boyle Suggests Robert Pattinson to Be Next James Bond.

"I feel like he's the only guy that could play that part. I'm so happy for him. It's crazy. I'm very, very happy about that. I heard that and I was like, ‘Oh man!' It's awesome," the actor said. Pattinson, 33, and Stewart, 29, broke out on the Hollywood scene after playing vampire Edward Cullen and Bella Swan respectively in Twilight series. But after the franchise ended, both the actors switched to indie projects.

Pattinson starred in films such as Cosmopolis, Good Time and most recently High Life, while Stewart garnered attention for performances in movies like Clouds of Sils Maria and Personal Shoppers. Pattinson is set to work with filmmaker Christopher Nolan on his next Tenet, which also features John David Washington and Elizabeth Debicki. Matt Reeves Confirms Robert Pattinson Is the New Batman
