You're right. Maybe Alfred had more secrets than we thought.
On topic though. Dick's suit would be a tough one to pull off. They could do the story and everything, just that damn suit.
One of the best scenes in the movie. I love how it ends:
- A man's got to go his own way. A friend taught me that.
- Not just a friend...
- A partner...
Damn if it wasnt for the nipples, the neon and the over the top villain performances, Forever would have been a very good batman movie.
Actually I liked Robin's suit in Forever when Batman sees Robin says "what's R stand for?" It's not a bad suit, Nolan could do something similar (without the nipples)
Under Nolan's super realistic scope, the Robin suit would look ridiculous. But if they lightened up on the realism and added some more atmosphere (Begins had a lot more than TDK for example), then Robin, Harley or Killer Croc wouldnt feel so out of place.
That said, i would like to see the pantless Robin suit (from the early comics) used as the circus suit. Then he adds some pants to make his combat suit (similar to Robin's suit in Forever or BTAS). Perhaps towards the end he gets a MK3 which is more grimdark. Batman went through various suit designs throughout the years and Nolan could have used one of them as the first, flawed suit for his Batman, like Favreau did for his Ironman. Since we didnt get that for Batman, i would at least like to see it for Robin.
Tim's red and black suit, although the less cheesy of them all, shouldnt be worn by Dick. It should reserved for when (and if) Tim comes along. Also, perhaps by adding a hood like the one Damian has now would make the suit less cheesy.
And we all know that it's going to be but that's the point with Robin. Recently in comics, Batman looked back at his first years and he fondly remembered those old, cheesy, more carefree days... Dick's personality pulled back Batman from the shadows he was getting lost in. Had it been Damian or Tim back then, Batman would have become an alcoholic.
