Robin alone would not kill the movie.
Saint said:That is correct--for the same reasons that nobody could stop Bruce from becoming Batman, despite their best efforts.
Saint said:It doesn't matter if they turn a blind eye or not: he's Batman. They can't catch him, they can't do ****.
Saint said:Batman breaks the law to do the right thing all the time (in real life, Batman would be facing so many aggravated assault charges that he'd spend his entire life in prison), and this extends to Robin.
Saint said:No, I just don't care what Nolan said. People change their minds all the time. Raimi said he didn't want to do Venom, and surprise, now he's doing Venom. I can only hope the same thing will happen with Nolan.
Saint said:What the hell are you talking about? First of all, Dick was twelve--not eight--
Saint said:second, who said anything about a prison? I said foster home and mansion. You can't lock him up in a prison because he isn't guilty of anything. The only places Dick would be--an orphanage, a foster home, or Wayne Manor, he would simply get out of. Kids get out of these places all the time, there would simply be no way to prevent it--especially with a boy so skilled as Dick. I also never said he would kill Zucco--I said he would try to, and get himself killed in the process.
Saint said:Please, stop wasting my time and read some Robin stories before running your mouth.
Two Face said:Batman had Robin since 1940 so Robin will be in new franchise maybe new director is selected by WB after Nolan quits.
El Payaso said:Yes, they can. At the very least they can have an order for his arrest. No more bat-signals, Gordon wouldn't be unable to reveal publicly his association with a child perverter.
I'd say if he helps, ok. If he start perverting underage kids, that's another story.
Exactly--Bruce did not want Dick to turn out the way he did. he wanted Dick to have a better life, to fight crime--because that's what Dick wanted--but not be miserable and alone, like Batman. As such, he intervened. Batman builds Dick the way he would have built himself, had he the experience to know when he did it.El Payaso said:But no one's encouragement either. At least until he was mature enough.
Bruce made a choice based on observation. People disagree with it in the comics plenty--only we, the readers, know the truth of it.But we know this because we're conscious that it is purely fiction and we know what's going to happen. Real people is always free to choose and change. Good artists try to make a real people feeling about characters.
This has happened plenty of times in the comics--of course, you wouldn't know that because you don't bother reading them, apparently. When Batman has to do something that might sever his ties with the police, he does it.Yes, they can. At the very least they can have an order for his arrest. No more bat-signals, Gordon wouldn't be unable to reveal publicly his association with a child perverter.
It wasn't perverting, it was saving. And again, the police don't matter, and never have.I'd say if he helps, ok. If he start perverting underage kids, that's another story. For all police authorities know, Robin could be the first one of a bunch.
"Hi, my name is El Payaso and I'm going to ignore the fact that Saint has said repeatedly that Dick would have been killed if he tried to get to Zucco."Ah, that changes everything. A mob boss surrounded by bodyguards and protection with a bunch of powerful enemies can be killed by a lonely 12 y.o. kid.
"Hi, I'm El Payaso and I forget that the situation Dick is in is the exact same situation Bruce Wayne was in when he was younger."If Dick tries, Batman should get him to jail. Not training him. How many boys wanting to kill someone Batman should train just to prevent the conseqcuences of their actions?
Eros said:saint your still sound like a fool imo, you make excuses for a man who allows uderage kids to fight crime, becasue "hes protecting them" lol. Im sure jason Todd didn't feel like that. If batman can't stop kids from going out and takeing "revenge", he should hang up his cape and cowl.
Katsuro said:I'm sure he could stop them, but why would he? Isn't it a bit hypocritical? He did the exact same thing they want to do, so how would it be right for him to lock them up and deny them their chance to seek justice?
Eros said:becasue they were 12,9, and 13 thats why.
Jason certainly did feel like that, and still does--he's back from the dead, in case you didn't know. The only criticism of Batman he has is that Batman didn't kill the Joker in retribution.Eros said:saint your still sound like a fool imo, you make excuses for a man who allows uderage kids to fight crime, becasue "hes protecting them" lol.

So? Batman left home between 12-14 to go learn to fight crime, and that was with nobody at his side to help keep him alive. These kids, on the other hand, had Batman.becasue they were 12,9, and 13 thats why.

In any case, that's enough of that. I'm just repeating myself now, because the people arguing with me seem to have no interest in considering any of my arguments. It's become obvious they're not interested in Robin's value, they'd rather just bleat out "YOU WANT IT 2 BE TEH SCHUMACHER!!11" over and over again, with utter disregard for the myriad of stories in which Robin has been used well by competent writers. Frankly, it seems as if you guys just don't want Batman, his history, and is supporting cast to be like they are in the comics, and since that's the case I really have nothing more to say to you, because I think the source material is important, and you obviously do not.
Eros said:glad to hear that, or and Bruce had alfred when he traveled th world, also in pre-crisis times bruce never traveled the world, he studied at home under his uncles care.
Katsuro said:wtf? No he didn't! Alfred never left Gotham City when Bruce did.
Easy: forged papers indicating Bruce is at a prep-school or some such thing. He had no problem forging papers to get him into colleges and even FBI training, so faking his whereabouts would pose no great difficulty.Eros said:so how do you suppose a 14 year old kid got out of america wihout an adult? or what would alfred say when social services asked where master Bruce was?

Yeah, Nolan and Goyer prefer the stupidity of a microwave emitter that doesn't harm humans and isn't affected by metal, because the idea of a child running away from home is much more unrealistic than breaking the laws of physics with magic microwave emitters, don't you think?Eros said:alfred is very stupid then to, if he let a kid run off around the world. Man Batman has stupid characters lol. thank god for the Nolan and burton, or that kind of stupidtiy would of been in the movies.

And before anyone says I shouldn't be insulting Nolan--I wasn't. I was pointing out the faulty logic of our friend Eros here.
El Payaso said:^ Ah, some pretty incoherent or stupid things we love in comics aren't that attractive when you have to add a third dimension as in movies.
Are you kidding? People rag on that all the timeMiranda Fox said:I love how the 'focus microwaves' bit always gets ignored...
