The Dark Knight Robin To Be Or Not To Be

[Keyser Sushi]

The thnig that was so refresing about Begins compared to the other ones was that it focued on Bruce. The thing is if we add Robin is the movie will lose that I think. I mean, we already have enough characters as it is.

You're right. Which is why I think if Robin were to appear it should be in film 4, if there is a film 4, at a point where the current story-arc, which is about Batman, is concluded, and Robin's arc can be the second arc, which would work if handled one way and one way alone:

like Leon the Professional

That is the way it should be done, in films 4, 5, 6, should they happen. That way Batman's second arc is in dealing with this unfortunate kid... because, since Robin is a reflection of Bruce, it is about Robin but also about Bruce... like any parent being forced to confront his own issues in order to be a better mentor and guardian for the kid.

But as I say... if it happens, it should not be until film 4.

Introduce Grayson at the end of 2 or 3 and then probably in the fourth movie he could appear or something.

Then why the hell did you bump it? This thread had to have been several pages down, judging by the date of the last post. You revive this thread, just to say you regret starting it? That's... the most idiotic thing i've ever witnessed.

I do have to say that i hope to never see Robin in the films because he removes the darkness from Batmans world which is what made Batman Begains and also the Micheal Keaton Batman.

Robin i dont think is needed in all honesty and it removes focus from the character which is central to the film which is Batman/Bruce Wayne.

I think with Bruce Wayne their is alot of personal depth to explore and so much that can be done about his character but the inclusion of Robin would draw attention from and we would end up eventualy with a love fest between Batman, Robin and Batgirl which wold further reduce the story to being more like the pathetic attempts of Val Kilmer and George Clooney.

Does anyone else think maybe robin is gonna be on the sequel or the third one?, I mean I am not confirming anything and I am not the biggest robin fan, but I think robin in the bat films is very similar to the way venom is on the spiderman ones in the sense that Raimi didn't wanted venom to be on the third film (or I think any of his spidey films) because he said he did'nt grew up with him as a comic book villain.

But Avi Arad and the studio pushed him to get venom on the sequel because fans wanted him to be onn the films. So maybe WB is gonna push for robin to be in one of the sequels like the third movie or so for the fans that want robin in the bat films.

My point is maybe the studio is gonna push for robin because some fans want him in the films, even if Nolan dosen't want it.

i think in the 4th movie....late in the movie...as grayson...then the next movie as robin, then by the 6th movie he leaves tobe nightwing...then the nightwing movie comes out and the 7th movie they kill jason todd, and in the 8th they find tim drake...thats not realistic...but it is what i think

 

[xwolverine2]

not to be

 

[batmaluco]

Not to be.

Next time Robin will write the story.

You know, this particular forum we're in is for the sequel (BB2). It's not for crazy opinions for future sequels, we have a forum for that already.

I would really like to see Nolan tackle Robin,but not in BB2.I would though like to see Dick Grayson in BB3,he is taken in by Bruce but isn't Robin yet.And then if we get to a 4 or 5 then have him suit up,but as much as I like Robin it is too soon for Robin and not mention the angry cries from the Robin haters would just get annoying.

I say nix Robin and go straight to Nightwing if Batman has to have help.
Unless they can make a Robin that isnt a joke.
I know Ill get stoned for this but maybe Nightwing could be done as a combination of Batgirl and robin?
A female Nightwing? A throwback to powergirl
Would be a cool idea if Superman and Batman ever combine. With that little nod to Gotham in SR I can see it happening though hope it doesnt.
