Batgirl (3) Helena Bertinelli - Batman said no to her as Batgirl, she turns into the Huntress

Bertinelli was Huntress for years before she became Batgirl. That only happened in No Man's Land. She did it to use Batman's image to get more control over people there.

Oh, I'm not much of a Huntress fan. Thanks for the correction.
 
bale isn't stupid and proabably not 100% with comic lore. The concept of a little kid from the circus helping the dark brooding batman in a violent Gotham city is difficult but it could be done right. Who says it has to be Robin? Why can't it just be Dick? Dick as a kid is more important to Batman than Robin the avenger. How Dick deals with his loss highlights where Bruce went wrong when dealing with his. He's a light in Batman's dark world. This kid isn't just a mini Bruce he shows Batman that there is light at the end of the tunnel if kids like Dick are the future.

That version I don't see working in Nolan's universe. It's to unrealistic and kind of creepy.

A 18 or 19 year old rival vigilante inspired by Batman that goes by Nightwing would work. Make him darker, not sure how to do the circus stuff but it gives him his training. Make him homeless after his parents were died or killed.

If Bale sees the script is doing it right and true to the world Nolan's created I'm sure he wouldn't chain himself to his trailer

I doubt it. Batman and Robin really hurt those charactrs images in live action. He should watch the Batman:TAS to see them at their best. They're great in that.
 
I'm kinda supporting the whole female Robin thing or just skipping to Nightwing, so I've been tryin' to think of a few cast choices; so far as far as a possible Nightwing/Robin goes, I've taken some consideriation and think Ricky Ullman would be a solid choice.

I'm all for thomas dekker as dick grayson.
i kind of like him better with his old, shaggy hair, but his new buzzcut is reminscent of chris o'donnell's robin

Why would we want a Robin reminiscent of Chris O'Donnell's? :o

I like this choice, props man.
 
Hmmm...This one....Well,My freind thinks Franky Muniz,No I dont.
But Ricky Ullman would be good.... Nice choice Killing Joke926 :)
 
Is there any particular reason she doesn't interest you, majik?
Just couldn't get into her. Seems like an unneeded extra member of the Bat-family.

I like this choice. A very underrated actor, and don't think many people will know him as too much of a Disney Star.

I still prefer Dekker for Jason Todd, though there's an even smaller chance of even seeing Todd onscreen.
 
Thomas Dekker for Dick Grayson

Kristen Stewart or Michelle Trachtengerg for Babs Gordon
 
The more i think about Robin in a Nolan film, the more i wanna slit my wrists.

Wouldn't say Bertinelli's completely unnecessary. Huntress is the black sheep of the Bat Family who questions Batman not following him blindly like the rest do. She's more vicious then the others and has an interesting origin.
 
So I'd say the general consensus is Thomas Dekker as Dick Grayson, Logan Lerman as Tim Drake, and Kristen Stewart as Barbara Gordon? Pretty solid IMO.
 
For those unfamiliar with the actors:

Nightwing: Thomas Dekker

Robin: Logan Lerman

Batgirl: Kristen Stewart

Bale and most of the TDK cast agree with you.

The closest a Nolan film will get to a sidekick is a possible insinuation of one in the dialogue. Even that is a long shot.
 
Then why the hell would you be here? If you don't care, just look the other way and ignore it :)
 
i like the idea of having robin a movie.

i can see it working. robin doesn't quite need to be a costumed hero like batman. i say keep the origin story as close as possible, but keep the name robin as a code name for batman when they're talking via com link. i could see robin staying in the cave doing detective work, and telling batman what to do(lucius fox work in TDK). i REALLY dont like the idea of screwing around with robin's origin. that's just not right.

robin allows batman to grow into a more mature human being. he also allows batman to sustain his humanity. read dark victory guys! it's good. anything about robin written by jeph loeb is good; he knows how to write him right.
