The Dark Knight how shounld play the boy wonder

[explode7]

NO I think thats Dick seeing as how in 1 of the episodes he became Night Wing.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Oh for real? He looks/acts more like Tim.

 

[TheGrayGhost]

sorry if someone has already discussed this topic i an new here.so who do u think should get the job,the ownly thing i want form this robin is that he be a kid all the robin's ever to play the kid is like 35 year old even the cartoons.

Huh? Both Dick Grayson and Tim Drake in the DCAU have been very, very young.

And while I'd like to see Robin in a Batman movie, I want the first three movies to be primarily about Batman. Maybe in the third Nolan can introduce Dick Grayson.

 

[Leto Atrides]

I think Robin could work well, if a rebellious, smart-a** 13ish Dick Grayson is used. Robin, done in this way, worked very well in a serious setting in Dark Victory (the sequel to The Long Halloween).

 

[Ronny Shade]

^Keyser Sushi did an in depth post somewhere on how Robin should be. That comes close.

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?

Lmao. Are we supposed to believe that you're somone important, who's got the inside scoop on the film? Lemme guess, you're Chris Nolan!! Or perhaps your David Goyer!!? Bale... is that you!? Yeah right. You come here, suggest the worst possible cast choices i've ever heard, then pretend to be some big shot while calling us "ordinary folk" and we're supposed to believe you. I respect Nolan and Co. far too much than to believe they'd even mention the possibility of Verne Troyer as Penguin or the guy from Will and Grace as Riddler.

 

[vantaztik_trace]

you are right on three things you stated my friend, enjoy the wrath of Gotham 08

 

[Ronny Shade]

You mean you're Chris Nolan, David Goyer and Christian Bale!?!?

 

[Two-Face]

you are right on three things you stated my friend, enjoy the wrath of Gotham 08

If you are Nolan, bale and Goyer all in one then I'm Homer Simpson.

 

[Ronny Shade]

You're not Homer Simpson!?!

All this time I-- I...


I don't know what to say.

 

[explode7]

Say WTF

 

[Prognosticator]

Actually no one should...We've already seen how that doesn't translate well into film. It just can't be grasped in a real and serious way! I mean honestly, it's a great concept, but it's impossible to entertain showing someone become robin in a two hour movie without sucking asking too much of the audience.

....What could potentially be a great idea is to introduce a dick or tim character towards the end of one movie and set the next movie up maybe 2 years later. Then, let the gap be filled in by the books themselves a la Star Wars, Superman Returns, and the following movie can pick up with the character already introduced. Otherwise, I don't think a movie could realistically sell the idea of a sidekick to Batman very well.

You are making a losing argument right there.

If that was the case, and if every time ONE director made a bad incarnation of a character then we could say:

Hulk doesnt translate well
Electra doesnt translate well
Bane doesnt translate well
Poison Ivy doesnt translate well
Two-face doesnt translate well
Riddler doesnt translate well
BATMAN doesnt translate well, remember BATMAN RETURNS? FOREVER?and BATMAN & ROBIN?
Batgirl doesnt translate well
Mr. Fantastic doesnt translate well
Punisher (the 1989 movie) doesnt translate well
Doctor Doom doesn't translate well
The Entire FANTASTIC FOUR (1994 movie) wouldn't translate well

And in my opinion

Lex Luthor wouldn't be able to translate well on film
The Joker wouldn't be able to translate well on film
and
The Penguin wouldn't be able to translate well on film

All these are GREAT characters that could hold a movie all of there own. They all have the potential to be great on film, if handled properly.

Just because ONE director's version was bad for ONE particular character doesn't mean that the character is a BAD character or doesn't translate well on film. It just means that the director wasn't a match for the character. Nolan and Goyer could make Robin on film all as great as he is in the comics.

Jolly good, there, R.

 

[trustyside-kick]

i havent seen any of wes bentley's movies but he looks like a Robin, but its still too early to bring in robin in the films.

Yea, I could picture him in the Robin suit..and yea it would be too early. Get a kid to play Dick when he first meets Bruce as a kid as then you can like have him get older with each movie or something.

 

[WATCHMAN86]

i saw a picture of this kid named james lafferty and in this particular picture he looked exactly like a young dick grayson around say.......16 or 17 i mean ideal for the part so he is one of my pics (as far as the look of robin) as for jason or tim i havent found anyone yet.

 

[WATCHMAN86]

i also think that the world of batman is way too large for the films to include all the characters that we want. i mean some are saying that robin should not be in for another 3 films(for most franchises 3 or 4 films is stretchin it) and i highly doubt all of the guys who donned the robin costume will ever make it to film. dont get me wrong though i do think that at least the next 2 films should focus on batman i mean if im correct i saw barbara gordon as a baby in this film and bruce was like 27 they are going to have to juggle the timelines a bit

 

[WATCHMAN86]

i agree with trusty sidekick.........good idea man!

 

[The Techno Bat]

I am still down with Ricky Ullman playing Dick Grayson if Robin is introduced in the next film, but otherwise he may be a bit old when the finally get around to a Batflick with Robin in it, so my other choice would be Daniel Magder, right now he is 11 yrs old, and has acted in a ton of movies

 

[Ronny Shade]

Introduce us to the Madger kid.

 

[COMPO]

Who Is Terry Mc Ginnus

 

[Ronny Shade]

Terry McGinnis is Batman in Batman Beyond

Played by Will Friedle

 

[COMPO]

oh yeah now i remember he was a crap batman all he did was joke around. like the joker said 'he's just a punk kid taking orders from an old man'. And i agree with the joker when says he is not batman.

 

[Robin91939]

I agree when I believe a "Mr. Fix" Derek Powers' henchmen said:
"You're pretty storng for some clown who thinks he's Batman."
Terry: "I AM BATMAN"

I really liked that alternate future.
