I like this choice. He definitely has the build.

That’s true of the comics and why I never got into the comics - for me. However - as an idea, a story - I think it’s cool and I like the way Nolan did it.Gah, hope we never get a Robin on film again. Probably will, if this is loosely connected to the Snyder stuff before continuity wise, but ehh.
Always just felt so out-of-character to me, Bruce exposing a protege to all the risks of his own pretty-insane life. Especially when they all seem to start out as kids. "Bruce Wayne taking a 12 year old with a staff out into Skid Row to fight La Cosa Nostra with uzis" kinda...automatically takes him out of "good guy" sympathetic territory to me, pretty much makes The Punisher of all people seem sane by comparison.
I'd have Bruce bring in Dick and Jason at the same time. Have the story focus on him attempting to give these two orphaned kids a fighting chance. The intention was never to recruit them, but to give them the tools he never had at that age.
Only he can't get through to Jason, who steals a prototype Batsuit at night (similar to the Robin suit of course) and take his rage out on criminals. And then this is what thrusts Dick (couldn't help myself) into action, basically to try to intervene.
Honestly, it's kinda just a rip off of JoJo's Bizarre Adventures. You got these two brothers that grow up under the same roof, but with such wildly different ideologies that one eventually rebels against the father, only to "die" because of it.
This sounds cliche and done before... having said that, it still feels fresh and would look great on screen if done properly and actually sounds plausible in 'real world' terms... i like it a lot.

He'd be better as Klarion the Witchboy. Plus that dude is in everything nowadays. Better to get a newcomer, and someone even younger than Wolfhard. I want to see Grayson's origin unfold in realtime instead of flashbacks.Finn Wolfhard.
I'd like Hammer for Batman role.Even though they’d both be great in the roles, Chalamet and Hammer should be avoided to avoid the Batman and Robin are gay jokes
Too young looking, not in 'Jared Leto young' either. He's in his mid 20s and still playing coming of age roles.What about Chalamet as The Joker?

I think we probably will see Grayson at some point, but I'm not sure when. And with this focusing on a younger Batman, it makes me wonder if it'll be in this trilogy
Of course it's still a big deal, playing up the detective element or no.
Only way you can dull the irresponsibility of it all is if Robin starts as an adult like Forever or the way Nolan approached it, which was fine for what that was. But even then it's kinda strange characterization-wise, Bruce exposing someone else to all of this type of stuff. It works in a light campy sense like the 60s show where there's nothing really horrible going on, but if you're going for grit, don't bring in Robin. It just makes Bruce seem like either an ***hole or genuinely being insane with crappy judgement. Better off just having him working work Gordon to crack cases, and whatever momentary allies he comes across.
I totally see your point. However I could see it in a sense where Dick is already scarred by the world he has seen. He is so immersed in the ugliness having held his dying parents that the damage is done and detective/vigilante work is cathartic.
Agreed that it isn’t easy to pull off because the risk of Bruce coming off as a psycho or a jerk is very real, but pulling it off is not completely out of the question. And I could see that it is ambitious enough that if it is pulled off it could be pretty impressive from a story standpoint
