The Dark Knight Rises Nolan...add Robin!!!!!!

[I Am The Knight]

Well Robin's costume doesn't have to be colourful they can darken it and the character yet still stay faithful to the actual character.

Stop making sense.

 

[WSNProductions]

There is no way to do Robin in the Nolanverse.

 

[COMPO]

why can't I make sense?

That be the least of problems.

I feel like writing a letter to your lord and savior Chris Nolan
It would read: Your fans have stopped believing in the creativity of you and your brother Chris. Their main argument involves campy versions of Bob Kane's creations and they don't consider the modern, more tougher incarnations present in both comics and animation.
Forget Batman 3... you told your tale... and keep putting the smile on the faces of real fans

Spoiler

Why So Serious?

 

[COMPO]

That be the least of problems.

what else the realism? well he doesn't have to be in the frontline straight away like most people they could have robin training from like 12 till 16 until he can handle stuff.

 

[El Payaso]

Nolan:

I said I wouldn't be using Robin myself. My fans have just agreed with my excellent judgement.

 

[COMPO]

when did he say that lmao

Batman using a sidekick is already wrong for the character as he has been best portrayed as a loner. Sure, he uses help from different people, but not a teenager in a suit.

Batman being a father sounds wrong too. He is not the man to start a family and a normal life. He is actually providing Gotham such things but he's sacrificing those elements in his own life. Not that Bruce Wayne could adopt easily an underage with the reputation he has (womanizer, alcoholic, pyromaniac).

Batman endangering the life of a minor. He had himself to be trained until he was an adult in order to be physically ready and mentally mature to carry his mission on.

I thought it was common knowledge that Nolan said he wouldn't be using Robin "on his watch" back in 2005. And then Bale supported that decision last year. lmao.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

Hell I'm saying keep him in training in the 3rd film and he ca go on his first mission when he's about 20 in the fourth. You can even do something with Barbara, tries to help Nightwing but is crippled by accident. She returns in the JLA movie as ORACLE
No Batgirl

Deviating a bit. If they ever do a Superman Doomsday movie, instead of Kon-El who is a male teenage clone of Superman, we could retcon him and place Kara (Supergirl) there instead who would be cloned from Lois and Superman... shocker...

Batgirl and Superboy would just be repetitions

Also, Nolan said that Robin was in a crib somewhere... Bale was being Bale...
And I doubt a director would refuse to use a character just because THEY feel he/she is ... icky icky poo poo

no what he said was "we weren't interested in robin neither was the studio, this is a young batman robin is still in a crib somewhere" that was for more Batman Begins were Nolan was only interested in that film, he also said he wasn't interested in doing a sequel it was only the joker that got him interested. I think it would depend on the timing of things that Nolan would be interested in Robin.

 

[hatebox]

If Robin was in a crib during the events of Begins then unless bale's Batman has aged about 15 years in the next film then Robin is still unfeasible as a sidekick for him.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

You forgot about man's greatest invention in the world of fiction: RETCON!

 

[COMPO]

to be honest with Bruce's age it could fit. I mean he is 30 and if Robin is still in a crib then it'll be like ten or twelve years until Robin is old enough to come in so Bruce would be forty and with the training until robin's ready to be on the front line he'd like mid forties... how long can he last? he needs robin by then to take over as well as others.

I know guys who are in better shape (fighting-wise too) than Batman is portrayed in these films in they're 50-something and above. Batman doesn't have to stop at 40.

No way. I wanna see Batgirl done right even moreso than I want to see Robin.

 

[Batman137]

No robin or catwoman! Don't ruin the trilogy!

 

[The Joker]

No robin or catwoman! Don't ruin the trilogy!

How would Catwoman ruin the trilogy?

 

[Shiaruki]

What surprises me is that if you guys can't accept Robin... how the hell can you accept guys like Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and pretty much the rest of the DC Universe?. If something as simple as Robin can't work how can everything else?

Same problem at Marvel. Fravreau's scratching his head on how to make the eventual meeting between realism based Iron Man and demi-god Thor

Of course I can accept Robin, he's brilliant. Sadly, the modern Batsy Flicks are following a formula at the moment... Robin just wouldn't work, unless they have something extra-awesome up their sleeves.

Superman, Wonderwoman etc, are in a different class to Batman (movies) now. Batman is also more realistic in the modern films. Accepting them is different to accepting Robin altogether, as you accept them on different terms .

 

[Alex Logan]

The problem is not Robin, but Robin next to Batman. Batman becoming a father and having a colorful side-kick kid. It ruins the best of Batman.

Again, you deliver greatness.

Hence why I came up with the idea I did. I figured that if a younger character would come into Bruce's life as a partner, it'd have to be Jason, who would in turn die, and show Bruce the reason why he, in the future, will try even harder not to endanger others.

Especially kids.

Honestly, I don't really care for Spider-Bite's idea. Not retaliation- it just doesn't seem to flow with Nolan's universe. I like the character of Robin, honestly, especially Dick Grayson- I just don't see the Robin we know in the comics being brought directly into these movies, if at all. Not tooting my own horn, but I think my idea could wind itself into the Nolan series quite nicely. Granted, I'm not a director, nor am I working with Nolan, so I seriously doubt it'll ever be realized.

For the most part your idea was pretty good. I couldn't agree more on your second point.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

How does Bruce being a father and having a side kick make it lighter? It doesn't have to be all green tights and yellow underwear or whatever.

 

[Alex Logan]

No way. I wanna see Batgirl done right even moreso than I want to see Robin.

Agreed!

No robin or catwoman! Don't ruin the trilogy!

How?

How does Bruce being a father and having a side kick make it lighter? It doesn't have to be all green tights and yellow underwear or whatever.

Well, I guess if you don't know already then there's no way I could even begin to explain it.

 

[El Payaso]

It doesn't make it lighter, it just doesn't fit with a loner that has no chance to start a family (due to his mission and his reputation as Bruce Wayne).

 

[Shiaruki]

No robin or catwoman! Don't ruin the trilogy!

How on earth would Catwoman ruin the trilogy?
