As I really have no interest in your interpretation of the characters, but still you keep pushing them on me, and I keep listening.
Because deep down you know I'm right.
My fan-fic is mostly based on the very first issues of Batman (the Bill Finger/Bob Kane ones) with a little touch of Year One.
That's cool. But if that's true, then you must know that Robin was a KID in the old comics. And the new comics. And... every comic.
I´m an educated screenwriter/director, in some cases, I do know what I´m talking about.
That's great. I'm a novelist and a screenwriter myself. I have a college degree. I just think I have a better understanding of this stuff than you do.
I totally agree with you on most of your claims, I think you somewhat misunderstand me, in the comics-world I have absolutely no problem with Robin´s age and development, I just don´t see it happening in the realistic world of Begins. An oppinion which I think I share with most people around here. Robin has no place in a Begins Sequel. Period.
Okay. I think I have misunderstood you somewhat then. I don't think Robin will ever be in a Begins sequel, at least not one directed by Chris Nolan. But that doesn't mean that I would be against it if it happened, provided it was done the right way.
And let me say, just because Begins takes a "realistic" approach to things, that doesn't mean that Robkn couldn't be a kid. Begins may be somewhat realistic, but how realistic is it that a man would dress up as a bat to fight crime? The subject matter is inherently unrealistic. You have to realize that what Nolan did is EXACTLY what Bob Kane and Bill Finger always did. Batman is an unrealistic character, grounded in reality. It's not realistic that a person would do the things that he does, but on the other hand, the character is designed as a human being with no superpowers using his mind, body, and some cool devices to get things done. He's human.
That's all that Nolan did. He made a movie about an unrealistic character, and grounded it in reality. That's exactly how Batman is meant to be done. Robin is the same way. He's unrealistic, but he's grounded in reality. There's no reason why it couldn't work in Nolan's world, except that Nolan doesn't want to do it, so he won't.
Sorry, my appologies. I read it as if you were saying something else.
