The Dark Knight Rises Who do you want for Robin?

[chosen1]

To express our opinion. the hate is too big to be left out

Hate leads to suffering.

 

[iamcolossus]

James Vander Geek....totally Robin

 

[Fred_Fury]

robin is annoying and just drags batman down. screw robin, keep his gay ass away from the batman series.

 

[boywondernerdDC]

No Robin.Period.

To me, he is the OLNY weakness the Dark knight posesses

from earlier in the thread...

My humble findings:

Duane Carnahan: http://www.stuntkids.com/home.asp?page=resume&id=49
This kid is interesting... he's got actual circus acts in his background, he's far more athletic than what I've seen before... he's a little old (almost fourteen already...) but he seems like an interesting pick

Freddie Highmore: http://www.youngstarnews.com/news/041121-001-highmore.htm
Finding Neverland's little boy and the new Charlie (and the Choc Factory)... pretty good with the kid stuff, though perhaps his innocent exuberant roles don't get you, they do show an intense acting skill (critic's choice best actor), he's tweleve, I believe...

Cameron Blight: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1080974/
The little boy from "Birth," convincing as a thirty year old man... not bad indeed... also played young Tommy in "Butterfly Effect"... a bit darker filmography, a very grayson-esque look... my pick honestly... just get a good stuntman...

All of these kids have heavy acting chops and more than their fair share of darkness ability... I think any of them would make a kick-tail Rich Grayson boy wonder... though of course, they would have to cut the camp from Robin's character design just as they did for Batman, Scarecrow and any other costumed character in the Batman universe...

EDIT:
And something about Soren Fulton's http://www.risingstar.to/sfulton.html range and look and bale-ness gets me... I think he'd make a kick-tail Grayson as well... I've seen him overact just a bit, but he's young, perhaps he'll over come it in a couple years, but his range of expression is pretty great for a kid so young...

Cameron Bright was Leech in X-Men 3...

 

[Eggyman]

nobody!

 

[Ongie]

nobody!

haha... That wouldn't bother me!

I don't think Robin should be used in the Nolanverse, but if he is it should be done VERY carefully.
I used to REALLY hate Robin, but Dark Victory won me over. I like Grayson and Drake, it's the other 3000 I'm not cool with.

Yeah, once people read the comics the light bulb goes off and they like Robin as a supporting character. All the "No Robin" and "I don't think he fits" people usually don't know anything about the character beyond the Schumacker version...

 

[Lobster Charlie]

Robin will never be in the Nolan Batman films.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

not, that i think robin sould be in any of of hte movies. but, ok, if your just want a young Dick Grayson cameo, or what not, i'd say Hunter Gomez

Actually a 14 year old is a teenager and it depends on the 14 year old. I know one who is 5'8 170 pounds.

I for one don't think Robin would work in Nolan's Batman series. Even if Nolan does not return, WB will not change the "realism" theme if BB is a huge hit.

If WB insisted on having Robin in the series then I would introduce Dick Grayson in the third sequel but NOT have him appear as Robin. I would portray his character as heading in the same direction as Bruce did when he was first faced with tragedy. Bruce recognizing this, intervenes in the boy's life and trys to vent Dick's rage for vengence by offering him some limited training. This training would not be for the purpose of becoming Batman's partner or sidekick but of course due to circumstances that is what eventually happens...in the next installment. Their relationship is portrayed as Father and son and as a mentor. Perhaps when Dick is introduced, he unwittingly becomes involves in the bigger context of the movie (think Road of Perdition) where he gets the opportunity to show some of his potential (skills of deduction rather than physical skill) based on what Bruce has taught him to that point. By the end of the movie Dick trys to convince Bruce to train him hardcore for the purpose of becoming his partner. Bruce agrees to train him but only for use in a backup role. Each movie shows him progressing more and more (like in the Harry Potter movies) in his skills and becoming more of an asset to Batman. However not all should be hunky doery. The writer should also demostrate (at least at first) how much of a liability it is having a minor as a partner.

In the next movie. You introduce Dick as Robin and he being used for surveillence when Batman is on patrol, but is instructed to never engage the enemy (of course this doesn't last long, either out of necessity or immaturity or a combination of both)This movie should demostrate how far Dick has progressed in both his training and maturity level (Kind of like Luke from SW to Empire)

I'm pretty hardcore into this kind of role. Personally, I wouldn't really like to see Robin for awhile and I wouldn't be unhappy if he never showed up. However, if Dick Grayson (not as Robin) is introduced into the franchise in some sort of supporting role then I wouldn't have anything against the idea at all.

Spoiler

If any of you have read The Forensic Files of Batman, I think that would be the best way to go.

Does anyone here agree?

 

[Nightwing92]

Ya i agree.... but i doubt it that they would make him a supporting role not as robin.....

Oh yeah, that would be sweet When I read that, I got that "OOOoooOOOoo" feeling

 

[kg576094]

no Robin or Batwoman

 

[Mysterio]

no one. for the love of god, no one. forget he ever existed.

 

[ghost113]

If, and I mean if Robin Had to be in then the brother from lemony snicket.

 

[bat89]

I really don't want to see Robin, but if I had to I rather it be a girl.

 

[Eros]

i can't see movie Bruce Wayne letting a teenager boy help him fight crime.But you probbaly won't see a robin for many years, when Christopher Bale and Chris Nolan are no longer attached to the moives.

 

[ReptileOrion]

Robin does not need to be in the new Batman films.

 

[GL1]

Ah, the old arguements... lets give em the old answers, eh?

Robin does not need to be in the new Batman films.

Neither does Joker... what's your point?

But you can see him letting police officer's drive his batmobile? And District Attorney's running cures willy nilly? You'd rather see every supporting cast member know Bruce's secret instead of Batman having his runner/gopher from the comics taking care of the little stuff?

Wow... that's a new one... why?

 

[sickining]

I'm not a big fan of Robin, I've always believed that Bats should be solo. And Christopher Nolan himself said as long as he's in charge there will be NO Robin.

Give it a rest, nobody wants Robin in Nolan Batman films, long as he's charge I doubt Nolan would use him.
