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

[Eros]

I think people would not have a problem with Dick Grayson being in one of the movies, just you don't need him to become Robin.

 

[Kid.]

It's too early. Anyone who'd wind up playing Robin by the time he's introduced would be far too young now, probably not even acting yet.

Excellent point.

 

[Taiwarriorz21]

I would be nice if Nolan could just introduce him. I know the kid in the Narrows had to be his cameo.

 

[Freedom77]

Nolans already said NO ROBIN!! There is no need for a robin. IMO a robin would destroy everything.

Robins just camp, theres no way round that.

 

[Saint]

For stupid writers, maybe. Talented writers have been using Robin camp free for thirty years.

 

[El Payaso]

Talented directors have been not using Robin for 20.

 

[Saint]

I suppose that's because they're cowards. Either that our they're stupid enough to believe the "ROBIN IS ONLY TEH CAMPY" rhetoric spewed by the unimaginative and ignorant people on these boards.

 

[COMPO]

come on, Nolan always does something different to the characters. He'll do it with Robin. He'll make him accessible to today's standards.

Or decades of coimic books showed them what a bad idea is to have a teenie colorful sidekick ruining a dark and ambiguous character.

According to Nolan himself, he won't.

 

[COMPO]

That's Been Your Argument For Ten Years!!

 

[El Payaso]

Still works.

 

[COMPO]

No It Doesn't. It Just Shows How Idiotic You Are That You Can't Even Come Up With An Argument That Has Facts Quotes And An Explanation! How The **** You Got Out Of School I Do Not Know?

 

[El Payaso]

Easy pal. One would say that capitalizing every word and being a Robin fan would make you a happy boy.

I'm not going to bother arguing with someone who chooses to ignore the past twenty years of Robin stories, and who wants to cut out an integral part of the Batman mythos. You obviously don't care about the truth of the matter--if you did, you would pick up any modern Batman comic and see how Robin can be done well by talented writers who understand the character and his importance to Batman. No, you'd rather be ignorant and bleat "OMG TEH ROBIN IS TEH CAMPY!" as if "Batman & Robin" is the definitive version of Dick Grayson.

Furthermore, you must think the Nolans to be pretty incompetent writers, if you think they can't concoct a workable version of Robin, as lowly comic book writers have been doing for years.

 

[BH/HHH]

No need for Robin, not a big fan of the character at all.

 

[Saint]

What stellar reasoning. What's next, "No need for Alfred or Gordon or Joker, not a big fan of them at all."

 

[raybia]

Would Robin fans be willing to exclude the "crimefighting" aspect of Robin out of the movie, in order to let's say... "favor" his addition to the movie? Because honestly, we don't see 13 yrs old kids kicking the rear ends of gangsters everyday.

No that would be robbing the fans. Robin should not be engaging criminals in hand to hand combat but it should inadvertenly happen.

I see Robin being like Harry Potter from the 1st book. Very green but full of potential and occassionally exhibits flashs of brilliance. Then he grows greatly in his ability with each movie. Robin begins more as a liability for Batman but after 2 or 3 movies, he really comes into his own.

Actually, the growth and progression of Luke Skywalker from Esp. 4 to Esp. 6 would be the model to use.

 

[raybia]

Green?

inexperienced.

 

[Abe Rush]

Saint, I know you're getting tired of hearing that Robin isn't a good character and that he shouldn't be done on film, but I'm starting to feel a aweful lot of anger and frustration coming from your part that doesn't seem quite healthy.

I have absolutely no quarrel with Robin, but the reason why I don't want to see him in a movie is because I have difficulty believing that a 13 years old can beat grown adults... that's all. If you see Robin as being somewhat older than that ( 18-22 ) then maybe, but come on...

 

[raybia]

I figured that much, but why call inexperience green?

Just an old expression. A figure of speech.

Perhaps you recall responding to a post of mine where I addressed this very point, on page five. Go back and read it. Perhaps you should write it down, so you don't forget about it a second time.

I didn't forget someone had said that, I just didn't think it was you... you seem so utterly frustrated right now that I thought you cared too much about Robin to have him have somewhat of a different "use" in the story. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

 

[Saint]

I'm not frustrated at all. I'm just rude. Learn to deal.

 

[Abe Rush]

I'm dealing just fine... it's just... sad

 

[Saint]

Whatever you say, champ.
