The Dark Knight how shounld play the boy wonder

[The Techno Bat]

I think for Robin to really work in these films he should be an understudy and perhaps stick to the background, hang out in The Tumbler, be a computer whiz, and get involved in fights when absolutely needed.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Could work. But I like Keyser's angry kid thing better. Computer whiz is what Oracle's for. I think we can all agree that Babs should go straight to Oracle and if there's going to be a Batgirl it should be Cassandra.

 

[Keyser Sushi]

What? No Babs Batgirl? But... but... I like Babsy as Batgirl... although... the Oracle thing does make sense, I agree. Functionally it's a more important job.

And yeah... angry butt-kicking kid is the only way to do Robin.

 

[StorminNorman]

If Ricky Ullman is a candidate I see no reason why Dan Radcliffe cant be - Radcliffe is a good 4 years younger than Ullman. I think if Robin should be introduced at the right ole age of 16-17, that way having him get into potentially dangerous situations would not be as shocking as it would for an early teenage. Also Batman should try to keep him as far away from the actual action as possible - using him more as a scout, leading to tension between the pair.

Also like Keyser said, make him a darker, angry kid - again Harry from OOTP.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Yeah all these guys will be too old by the time we need a Robin.

And I like Babs Batgirl too, but feasibly she's a stretch.

 

[Robin91939]

I agree with the Zac Efron pick or perhaps even Ricky Ullman (from Phil of the Future) both are 20 I believe

Ricky Ullman:

Yeah, I've been thinking about Ullman.....he's 20? Wow, I look older than him, and I'm nearly 18.

[Ronny Shade]

Ulman would work because he's short. (plus he looks young) Aesthetically, Robin should be significantly shorter than Batman.

That's why I say no to Zac Efron, because he's kinda tall.

 

[StorminNorman]

Shia Lebouf for Robin! (DAMMIT!)

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

No.......please....no......

 

[StorminNorman]

No.......please....no......

He was great in I, Robot and in Constantine. Plus he gave a great acting performance in The Greatest Game Ever Played - the guy has talent.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Norm, its "LaBeouf."

 

[StorminNorman]

Norm, its "LaBeouf."

I dont need no Yankie Yale Pretty Boy to tell me how to spell, but then again you are no Yale Pretty Boy, you are the Goddamn Grammar Batman - so I will listen to your help.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Just trying to keep you on the right path, GrammarHarvey.

 

[Soundwave88]

No Robin!!!

 

[DV8]

I know a good actor to play Robin:









Nobody . . . cuz Robin fuackin sucks it!

 

[Two-Face]

No Robin!!!

Yep agree.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Not for the first 3 movies. After that, IMO, Robin's fair game.

 

[Two-Face]

I'm sorry but I didn't like Robin in movies or comics, he's just a waste of space in fact Bat-family sucks not Batman himself, I just prefer Dark Knight working alone, I was against Chris O'Donnell playing Robin in BF but if Nolan stays for fourth movie then maybe I could see Robin in BB4. Christian Bale don't like Robin and WB as well so it's unlikely that Robin will be in new franchise unless fans boycott the fourth movie.

 

[vantaztik_trace]

Frankie Muniz is Robin...I know...Keep telling you americans...but all I get is insults...Christian Bale is Batman...wheres he from guys...Dony forget to read my tip about Sly and rest old guys in Batman begins column okay...Its exclusive as Madge has tipped me off in Hampshire UK...who am I...
You wouldnt believ me if I told all of ya...Just nice to get away from all da glitz and hassle of media propaganda...and its nice to talk to ordinary folk such as your selves...after all its because of your love for films and idols we earn what we do?

Christian Bale don't like Robin and WB as well so it's unlikely that Robin will be in new franchise unless fans boycott the fourth movie.

Actually, WB seems to like Robin quite a bit. He's been in only one less blockbuster movie than Batman. Has his own title in the comics, sells a WHOLE lot of merchandise, has been greenlit to appear on THE BATMAN, held his own Teen Titans animated series, and apeared countless times on BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES.

Bottom line: Robin has been good to the WB. Now it's just time for the WB to be good to Robin. They have yet to realize his full character potential in a film. Nolan could. And if BATMAN II is taking place a year after BATMAN BEGINS, why not introduce Dick Grayson in BATMAN III? Three years after Bruce returned to Gotham.

He is a great character. He can be done dark. In a movie with Harvey Dent facing a trauma and going to the dark side, Bruce will see Dick go through a trauma and try to save him from the path Harvey chose. It's really some great story that can be fleshed out with Robin in the picture.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I think we should introduce him...then have him killed.

We all win, win win win win. Robin fans get Robin, non-Robin fans get him killed. Win win win.

 

[Ronny Shade]

I think Robin should quit or get fired just like in the comics. Then Jason Todd should come in briefly and then die. Or "die," seeing as he's not dead anymore. How did they explain that anyway? Lazarus pit? That's VERY important for batman's character.

And Frankie Muniz will be practically 30 by the time we get Robin so... nope.

 

[MaJiN]

Sigh!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[explode7]

Which Robin is the one in Teen Titans. I think if threre're going to put robin they should put the Teen Titans one since most kids have grown to like that version of Robin alot. It will be great to see that Robin onscreen and it could kinda setup a Teen Titans movie behind the scenes as well.

 

[Ronny Shade]

I believe that's Tim in the Titans. But Nolan won't start with a Robin thats not Dick Grayson. I'll bet money.
