Do you think Chris O'Donnel played a good Robin?

Do you think Chris O'Donnel played a good Robin?

The script obviously wasnt great for him, and was awful in b&R, but overall do you think he did a good job as Robin?

[Two-Face]

No, I think he was too old and wasn't a good choice by Shumacher.

[Rockbottom]

Well to be fair, it wasnt really his fault he was too old...

[Two-Face]

And I also said, he wasn't a good choice.

[DocLathropBrown]

I thought he did a great job in Batman Forever, only he was too old.

Him being a whiny prick in Batman and Robin bugged the Hell outta me, though.

[Rockbottom]

Imagine if Bale had got the part for Robin, wasted in B&R and never got BB. How awful would that be.

[Catman]

O' Donnel was fine. He was a little too old but he was fine. Kilmer and him had some decent chemistry.

[Kevin Roegele]

Kilmer and him had some decent chemistry.

Agreed. I love the clashes between them. It's the older brother telling the younger brother not to follow in his path. After Forever, I was so looking forward to seeing this version of Batman and Robin again....and sadly, they never did.

[Catman]

I love the clashes between them. It's the older brother telling the younger brother not to follow in his path.

I see that as somewhat of a flaw. Bruce and Dick have a father-son relationship. But, since O' Donnel was so old, I guess, an older and young brother relationship was the next best thing.

[union_jak]

I think he did well with what he had to work with.

I don't see how it is a flaw. They changed the relationship. It works. Bruce Wayne, the ultimate orphan, finally gets a brother.

[Bat Attack]

He did the best he could with what he was given. I really don't like the character of Robin (in the comics and film, the only time I really liked him was in BTAS) so I can't say much.

[CConn]

While he was too old, he did a fine job in BF as Dick Grayson, and an even better job as Jason Todd in B&R.

[Two-Face]

Chris O'Donnel was better off playing Nightwing not Robin.

[CConn]

But Nightwing is Robin...just older.

[Lord Doom]

But Nightwing is Robin...just older.
See, if they made a movie ABOUT Nightwing, O'Donnelle would be perfect.
But they're not, so he's gonna be unemployed for quite a while.

[Kebab gud]

he was a bad robin and a bad nightwing.. even thou he was still calld robin

[Lord Doom]

I agree with Lord Doom. Not just because he's sexy, funny, and a god among men, but because he makes a damn good point.

[CConn]

You know who would've been an even worse Robin and Nightwing?

Joss Whedon.

[Bat Attack]

P.S.

I voted "It was okay at best".

[Mr.E.Nygma]

I liked it...in BF ONLY!!!

[Mr. Socko]

I thought he was decent in Forever. Hated him in B&R

[fabman]

He did a fine job in 'Batman Forever'.

[CaptainStacy]

He came off a bit too whiny for my tastes....

[Lazlo Panaflex]

I'm not a fan of Robin but O'Donnel did all right.

[The-Dark-Knight]

I agree with Lord Doom. Not just because he's sexy, funny, and a god among men, but because he makes a damn good point.

i did a double take when reading that, lol

[El Payaso]

O'Donnell for me was good as Dick Grayson on Forever, but once inside of the Robin suit he was Burt-Ward-awful. Happily Grayson had the most screentime and was maybe the only version of this character that didn't make me wanna puke.

[larryfilmmaker]

I enjoyed some of the run-ins between he and Batman (Kilmer only) but I think that ultimately he didn't LOOK like Robin. He felt too old to be taking orders from a guy who was really just the same size as he was. Who's to say who would have won if they'd fought in the movies? I know that's Batsphemy to say on here but all I'm saying is he was too old to be learning humility the way a 15 year old does. I don't think O'Donnell really fits well as Nightwing OR Robin, but that's not to say I didn't like the costumes. I thought they were both great. Better than Batman's even... but not Keaton's Batsuit.

[mjbull23]

I went to high school with Chris at Loyola, I remember him being a heck of a nice guy, ultimately that may have been his undoing. I think when i see him in his robin performances, he never strikes me as a suitable side kick to a Batman. In order to be Bats sidekick you have to convey a menacing persona, ...maybe menacing isn't the right word, but whatever I envision Robin being, I think Chris fell short of the mark. Good actor, but he never embodied the character. To me...

[Batman2k7]

he was alright they could have chosen someone better dunno who though

i dont like robin anyways batgirl is way better though

[The Shredder]

I felt O'Donnell was a little too old for the part when I first saw Batman Forever back in '95, but I felt he did a fairly decent job with what he had to work with.
