The Dark Knight Rises Christian Bale Rules Out Robin For Batman 3 (and beyond)

[zenith16]

LOL what ever. the titles were screwed up any way. It should have been batman and Robin first from the jump, and then 4 should have worked as "for ever" and ended it. batman 4 ever says it all and you know it. the wording is final.

And as you know it wasn't just bat girl that got screwed over. Other wise they wouldn't have changed Harvey dent now who was played by Billy D willams and and then Tommy lee jones. face it they had screw ups started befor Robin and bat girl were brought in.

It had nothing to do with the characters it was the producer's and writers bad chose in the change of the character's historys and a few bad casting idea's as show with Billy D willams and flip flopping from there. stop punishing the characters cause of bad holly wood screw ups and chose prior to ruin the movie franchise. sheesh. it's the over changing of things that killed the franchise. Pay attention.

Giving Batman a young sidekick IMO is what caused him to be ruined for so many years, so hearing that Christian Bale hates the idea of Robin being in the movies is a sigh of relief for me. He is not a necessary part of Batman's character, and I think Batman is a much more effective character without him. A very large aspect of Batman's story is how lonely he is, and when he's got an adopted teenager living with him and working as his sidkick, that kind of undermines him.

Also, no matter how hard you try, you can't make Robin seem as scary as Batman, and Batman becomes less scary whenever he's with Robin. In fact, the harder you try to make Robin look "intense," the sillier he ends up looking.

And yet Frank miller pulled off the opposite of what your claiming. ahhhhh well this will be a never winning argument. until that comic is shown to those three in the movie. or until they meet up with frank Miller again and he gives them a dark script. and you know frank miller , he does that well.

Ah, lonely Batman... with Lucius making equipment for him, Alfred as a father figure, pining after the enamoured Rachel and Gordon as, essentially, his sidekick... its a wonder he can even survive on his own!

I do agree that having Grayson live with him in the mansion can remove that tension though, although it can be maintained if the situation is A) temporary, B) unwanted by either one. C) all of the above.

And horror movies have been making kids scary for years.

Seriously, if people could just get it through their heads that Robin is not a tag-a-long and that Robin doesn't need to be a mini-Batman, these discussions would sound a lot less ridiculous.

Many people believe this, and it is the silliest, most backwards, illogical and unproven if not disproven thought in this entire discussion.

Batman is far more interesting by himself. Robin is a corny character.
Just the sound of it is plain awful, Batman and Robin

If you really really really think about it...it's so stupid it's ridiculous.

"Robin"? Come on. Corny cheesy little dandy running around with Batman in what looks like the stupidest superhero costume ever designed.

Batman is far more psychologically interesting by himself.
He scarier and it makes sense. He is trying to strike fear in the criminal underworld. He would be defeating the purpose with a corny little dandy by his side.

And then there's the whole Dick Grayson hanging around Bruce Wayne all the time. It's stupid, really really really stupid.

Robin was only thrown in to soften the Batman character, but today we don't need that. Today, we are interested in the dark brooding character that Batman was always meant to be.

Keep Robin out. Please.

I commend Nolan and Bale on their desire to keep that character out. It shows that they really care about the character and drama that is Batman.

Thank you for being completely wrong and restating the same disproven points that have been repeated throughout this thread. Thank you.

Nolan doesn't need to introduce Robin in the third film, i think Robin should be introduced when Batman gets extremely vengeful and angry and so far i don't think Batman gets extremely vengeful and angry in TDK (even though i haven't seen TDK).

“If Robin crops up in one of the new Batman films, I’ll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work.”

Yeah, tough talk for someone who audtioned for Robin.

That's why Bale is now laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[strikerbatman2]

Ya but nthey could make movies for 100 years without robin

 

[El Payaso]

Yeah, tough talk for someone who audtioned for Robin.

And that for being rejected not only saved himself some bad career afterwards, but got the main role in a fantasic bat-franchise.

 

[Monstera]

My opinion: No Robin, but I would still be tempted to see what Nolan & co. would do with him/her.

After you watch finish the dark knight...you will know why you should not have a robin in this version of the film.

If batman allows someone to be robin...then he can't be considered batman anymore...it will destroy what batman under this circimstances stood for.

The ending will tell you why

If Christian Bale hates Robin so much . Then how come he audition for the role in Batman Forever . That does not make sense
