Ever since the Twilght Saga gained public spotlight, I have been one of those anti-Twilight girls. I have a huge list why I loathe that series, with its inconsistenies and teenage angst. However, in all fairness, I have come up with a slight change to the character of Edward Cullen that would minimize a good deal of my complaints.
Complaint: If Edward Cullen is 200 years old, why is he still in high school?
Okay, I get the need to lay low so the villagers won't hunt you down with pitchforks and stakes. But really, 200 years old and still in high school with no real aspirations in life other than "protecting Bella" tells me he lacks ambition. I mean what did he do before he met Bella? He seems to settle.
If I were Edward Cullen, I would have invested. AT&T, Intel, Microsoft, plastics!!! He was alive and mature at the conception of the New York Stock Exchange. If he had invested early he could have been a billionaire by now. But nooo, why do that when you can lurk around in the trees of small town America. If Edward Cullen was a billionaire, he could be like Bruce Wayne, wealthy, excentric philantropist. Pay your taxes on time, donate to charity and the natives will be satisfied. At night, like Bruce Wayne, Edward could become Batman fighting crime and evil-doers.
There are other reasons too that Edward Cullen would be better if he were more like Batman:
1.) Volvo vs. Bat Mobile...Need I say more.
2.) Lurks around tree vs. Fighting evil
3.) High School vs. Wayne Enterprises
4.) Robert Pattenson vs. Christian Bale, George Cloony, and Val Kilmer, etc.
Add your own reasons why being Batman would help Edward Cullens rep.
