The Dark Knight Rises Nolan...add Robin!!!!!! - Part 1

[Saint]

That's a nigh impossible first task.
Perhaps he should start with something easier.

You're just mad that the dynamic duo always wins in the end.

I hope to God that JGL is playing Jason Todd.

These boards would probably blow up.

I've only seen one or two posters who knows that Robin wont be in it, but everyone else STILL thinks that the whole "Robin's Cave" and "Joseph Gordon-Levitt in talks" means that hes got a strong chance of playing Robin or Nightwing (both really stupid thoughts if you think it over).

I think you're reading into other people's posts what you want to.

robin is Totaly essential to the batmythos others who dont see that are Npt true Batman fans are deluding themselves.

 

[RobinFreddie27]

So one can only help another if he's smarter or more capable? Did you also consider that Robin is his pupil, his contigency plan in case he dies, his hope for the future? 1) Dick Grayson is a top level acrobat so he can at least be mobile and avoid getting hurt until he's more capable in fighting.
2) He could provide support, like staying behind or above and throwing batarangs, smoke bombs, etc.
3) If you re so stuck on realism, let me inform you that a microwave emitter should have fried people as well, not just selectively evaporated water. TEH REALISMS!!!

Exactly! if those things can happen Robin can happen and would be a great addition!

I'm sure we can all agree that Nolan suddenly including Robin in TDKR is wildly unlikely. A debate about Robin is fine, but it's odd that some people really believe the chances of him being in the next movie are anything above miniscule.

The question/problem isnt about if Robin is essential to the Batman-mythos. The question is that Would Nolan do this? Would Nolan use Robin in his Batman film?

People here who think so, seem to not have any idea of Nolan as a filmmaker at all. Seriously! Have you [the robin-yes:ers] not seen anyhting Noloan has done before? How he makes movies? How his stories are written and executed? If you have, then how the f*** can you think Robin will be in DKR?

And what exactly is againts Robin in the way Nolan does his films? All we need is a plot that surrounds and supports the idea that Bruce's family is widening up among other things.

Well, for one he's not George Lucas.

Secondly he's got integrity; He's already said that the character probably is sleeping in crib while all this takes place. He will not retcon his own franshise (see above). This also ties in with what he said about blowing up the baloon any bigger, or rather NOT doing that. To keep the story focused. To add a bat-family will do just that.

 

[Drz]

He won't "retcon" his own franchise because of an internet interview? How will adding Dick Grayson blow things up? With the lack of Harvey Dent's shining White Knight, it's Bruce Wayne who takes that mantle, using his millions of moneys to fund things and whatnot, and when Grayson loses his parents, the white knight flies down and takes him as his own.

See, it's all about the story.

I think Robin would make a good addition to a new set of batman films after Nolans run.

This thread's time has come. Like Constantinople or Rome before it this thread has become a breeding ground for trolling. It is beyond saving and must be allowed to die. This is the most important function of the League of Shadows. It is one we've performed for centuries. This thread... must be destroyed.

We know that it's highly unlikely. Damn, why do we have to repeat this in every page? Why dont you guys read the previous pages before posting?

Because ppl still seem to believe Robin is going to be in DKR.

 

[BatFan88]

no robin noooooooo

 

[Mr. Earle]

I dont think so. We're just discussing the possibilities and the themes the character could bring. Even if some believe he'll be in the movie its their prerrogative, so let them believe it.

 

[BatFan88]

Robin will not be in the movie Nolan said it himself years ago.

 

[Drz]

And what if he changed his mind? Will all the haters turn into followers? In Nolan we trust?

So, I posted this yesterday afternoon in the process of pissing off half of SHH, and I'm still being labeled as ignorant and being told I have no right to speak about a character I know nothing about. So please, somebody enlighten as to what I'm missing out on. I'm guessing there isn't anything. It's not that I'm clueless, it's that I offended the delicate sensibilities of some folks who are clearly way too defensive about a character that they are used to hearing be the butt of jokes.

You got a reply. You chose to ignore it. On the rest, it seems like you do a good enough job answering your own questions and convincing yourself you're right and everyone else is wrong, so why would anyone waste any time trying to convince you you're wrong? Oh wait, I am. Thanks, now I want my five minutes back. Who do I see about getting my five minutes back, huh? Nobody, cause they're Mister H's now.

No, I am allowed to joke around with the folks I know, and they joke with me. That's what friends do. They make fun of their homosexuality, they make fun of my heterosexuality. I return the favor. Not everyone is as uptight as you are making it sound. I'm well aware that not all gay people are campy, and you're right-- the gay people I know don't wear "skivvies" or "pixie boots" (to my knowledge). Thanks a bunch though for the lesson in civility, I'll try to keep your suggestions in mind from now on when I see them at work or at social gatherings/parties.

Yet you used the word gay as an insult. Perhaps you're not as tolerant as you'd like people to believe. Your gay friends would be ashamed. I actually hate to say that too, because I don't like to make arguments personal. However, it is what it is. I'm sure you'll think twice on it in the future regardless.

As a sidenote, I just want to add that Goyer and Nolan changed their minds radically before. During the BB release they said they didnt want any known villains in their Batworld because they would overshadow the character, and either Nolan or Goyer (I think Goyer) specifically mentioned that they wouldnt be using Joker, just hinted him. That and their old idea of not using the villains that have been used before

Im not saying Robin will appear, that wont happen and cant happen as I explained in previous pages. Nor would I want it to happen

What does that mean 'suddenly including Robin', it sounds like you were on the phone to him a few weeks ago and he told you he defo would be keeping that mofo in his crib.
The evidence that this is 'wildly unlikely' is some interview he gave years ago?
To me, it's possible, that's all, possible that he saw a good story angle he did not see before.
There's nothing 'odd' about that.

edit: tbh., I think it's stranger to hold a filmaker to an offhand comment he made in an interview years ago, to suggest it's right next to impossible because of that. Hell, i made a joke about people regarding that interview as 'canon', and now someone has come in saying that he would be 'ret-conning' his own story because of that interview?!

 

[Paste Pot Pete]

And why the **** should anybody care what I believe might be in the movie?

WHAT IS WITH THIS OBSESSIVE NEED TO INTRUDE UPON PEACEFUL CONVERSATION AND SAY "YOU ARE WRONG. YOU ARE STUPID. YOU ARE DELUSIONAL." AM I BOTHERING YOU? CAN YOU JUST NOT STAND SEEING THE ROBIN THREAD BUMPED TO THE TOP OF THE PAGE?

It's not just this thread. It's every thread on these godforsaken boards. You just can't let anything go, can you? You just have to tell someone that they're wrong.

"Well, well some people think he's actually gonna be in the movie!"

AND? SO? You're on a mission from god to prove them wrong? Trot out quotes to show them how wrong they are? WHY DO YOU CARE?

I don't go around to people's houses and tell them they're voting the wrong way, or they're praying to the wrong god. (Sadly, this happens anyway.)

Why can't you let people believe what they want? No one's getting hurt. Especially when it's in the ROBIN THREAD.

 

[Secret Fawful]

I personally am on a mission to prove people wrong. Because I'm always right.

And yes, I'm on a mission from God.

The Arch Nolanites are the most dogmatic group of people the world has ever seen; they adore the teachings of their prophet so passionately, that they even try to imagine what those teachings might be on subjects on which they are silent.

In a crescendo of fervor, they preached to us all that there was no way their Messiah would allow The Joker to be clad in the deeply unrealistic colour of purple.

When they found that they had strayed from The Nolan's will, they clawed at their faces and threw dust into their hair.

... thus proving that most Robin fans are prepubescent boys with self-esteem issues.

I'd imagine if the movie after Nolan is grounded in psuedo realism. Then Robin can help Batman in the extent he does in Young Justice. Does his magic tech stuff and then provides distraction (laughing and stuff) so Batman can take the baddies down. Float like a butterfly, sting like a two ton truck dropped on your temple.
