The Dark Knight Rises Robin

[CConn]

are you trying to say he's old?!? ha!
and i don't think i could have gotten over that ridiculous mustache... or how funny his upper lip looked if they made him shave it.

The day I saw Tom Selleck without his mustache was the day the 80s truly ended for me.

Agreed.

 

[Mentok]

I say dont bring in Robin.

Nightwing could work in the Nolanverse but I dont know how you could include him without having Robin first.

for me it was the day i saw Don Johnson NOT wearing a pink shirt.

No Robin....No Nightwing....just the godd*mn Batman!!!

 

[kedrell]

you are aware Robin been Batmans partner [pick one] for decades, and the Batman character has yet to be "ruined". The only thing that can "ruin" the Batman character in the movies, is bad writing and terrible concepts ala the last 2 90s bat flicks.

Comics is one thing(even though I don't like him much there either) and live action movies/ TV shows are another. Every time Robin shows up in live action, the whole project immediately seems silly. That's because the whole concept of a kid tagging along with Batman in the extremely dangerous work that he does, is ridiculous.

I think it would be slick if in the third or fourth batman movie they ended off with him meeting dick grayson. Then they did a movie about dick's transition from robin to nightwing as a sequal. they could resolve the end of the last batman movie and tell some of greyson's backstory like they did batman's in begins. batman could have a smaller role, using him more so in the backstory elements than the rest of the movie, then have them team up again at the end of the movie.

I say introduce Grayson at the end of 3 and have him as Robin in the middle of 4.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

As my good friend Michael Caine says, "Nevah!"

Ditto.

 

[Dark Guardian]

Ditto.

I ditto that ditto.

They could make it work - im sure, if they had to.

But if you think about Ages. Wasn't the baby that was in Uncle Gordon's appartment in BB supposed to be a baby Barbara? So that would mean the Graysons only recently had Richard.

My Opinion at the current point of the films - Nowhere NEAR time.

No, I believe it's his son James Gordon.

 

[Bullseye]

Judging by what Nolan said in the past, it isn't likely for Robin to appear. There are better chances that the next director of a new Batman franchise will most likely introduce Robin into a Bat-film.

 

[TRUE]

No robin in nolans films please.

 

[Bullseye]

If Nolan did want to introduce Robin into this current franchise, you know that Nolan would get it right and NOT mess up the character as was in Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.

 

[Thot]

In the immortal words of Alfred the Butler...."NEVAH"!!

 

[KingOfDreams]

How about never?

 

[antaydos]

Never ever ever ever ever.

 

[drunkhomer]

N E V A H ! ! ! !

 

[Hotwire]

This thread is still alive?? I figured everyone would have posted "never" about a dozen times by now and they would have closed it. Oh, well. I think they should ever bring Robin into these movies. But it might be cool to see Batman train Nightwing as an apprentice, and then let him go off and do his own thing.

 

[Mr. Vice]

Robin is really unnecessary.

 

[batman7289]

no robin

 

[i-n-z-a-n-e]

They should just mention the flying graysons at somepoint, maybe onthe news "batman, yadda yada yadaa. then say the flying graysons make a return to gotham" then just cut off....Or not lol, i dont realy want robin in a movie but if nolan puts him i can't complain.

 

[Renegade]

I think it is really a shame that Batman and Robin and Batman Forever have tainted the idea of Robin for people. This goes along with the whole Cinematic perfection vs. Comic Accuracy argument, but Robin has been an integral part of the Batman mythos for decades. Without Robin, as I think could easily be alluded to in a Nolan Bat-film, Batman often becomes lost in the darkness. There are some really wonderful themes involved in Bruce adopting a son in Robin.

I agree, that Robin should not be brought in for a while. There are still plenty of things to be done with JUST Batman. But, to say never is very disturbing to me. I really think there needs to be a film with Robin, done right, that respects that important history of the most famous twosome in history. The dynamic duo is one of the most recognized phrases, and you can't have a duo without someone else.

I guess, what I am hoping for, is at least just one film, possibly number 3, that brings in a young Dick Grayson, and while Batman fights, Dick trains, and perhaps at the end of the film, you see Dick in costume, and that is it. I would be happy with that. But, to reject him entirely, would be a mistake, imo.

Why people keep saying this? Robin was lame and I hated it long before Forever and B&R.
