What if...

Chris Wallace · 10-18-2008, 02:00 AM

they were to just omit Robin altogether & go straight to Batgirl?
Discuss.

Abaddon · 10-18-2008, 02:43 AM

she's still an infant.

ScarecrowMan666 · 10-18-2008, 02:55 AM

agreed, she's still too young for that. I don't think we'll see Batgirl or Robin in Nolan's series.

How do we know it'll even be Barbara? It could be Cassandra.

spiderral · 10-19-2008, 10:01 AM

No, I don't think Nolan wants Batman to have Batgirl, nevermind Robin. And yeah, just like 'Abaddon' said, she will be pretty small so there's not really and point at all.

I'm not a fan of Robin.

mavsmaniac21 · 10-24-2008, 11:44 AM

agreed. robin is an outdated character and doesnt work when you are trying to take this stuff seriously. i know many will disagree but i dont think it works in the comics either. i have trouble reading anything with robin in it.

I'll agree

The idea of Robin is reckless in 21st century terms and overall tone of the comics and movies. I don't think there's anyway to make him work in the Nolanverse.

Chris Wallace · 10-24-2008, 12:46 PM

I argued back in '89 that I couldn't see Batman dragging a kid into his world, but nobody listened then, either.

RoboAmish · 10-24-2008, 03:12 PM

The idea of introducing Batgirl before Robin reminds me too much of that godawful "The Batman" cartoon show

Chris Wallace · 10-24-2008, 08:03 PM

They did that?

RoboAmish · 10-24-2008, 08:37 PM

yep. Introduced her start of season 3 along with Gordon (who they always criminally underused). Robin didn't make his appearance until season 4...

She may be too young but she woudnt be an "Infant".

Abaddon · 10-25-2008, 12:15 AM

she's only been referred to as "the baby"

markstrange · 10-25-2008, 12:34 PM

What if robin never meets batman until after he becomes nightwing?

DeGenerate10 · 10-26-2008, 02:34 AM

Please no Robin or Batgirl period. Just not a good thing for this franchise. Stay away from the bat nipples and side kicks please.

I think that would be even less well-received.

I just watched "Batman vs Dracula" tonight; are you sure that was your only reason?

don't get me started. That show is just...eh....a waste of a Batman series..

Chris Wallace · 10-26-2008, 02:47 AM

That's what I thought. Bad art, bad voices, bad stories. Just bad.
