The Dark Knight Rises Who do you want for Robin?

[Stealth_Prime]

Why doesn't DC-Warner Brothers just produce the "GRAYSON" movie that came out as a teaser by a fan?

 

[Two-Face]

Straight to DVD could be cool.

When Robin comes into this new series of films you will know that it has jumped the f$cking shark.
"Why bats Master Wayne?"
"They scared me as a child. I want my enemies to share my fear......and a 14 year old boy sidekick in a gay costume would really come in handy don't you think?"
"I quit sir."
hh
Don't worry. While Nolan is directing there will never be a Robin in these movies.

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

Correction: Nobody wants Camp in Nolan Batman films... most people, not reading the comics or understanding how movies are conceptualized, equate Robin with camp. If they knew what they were talking about, they'd be more specific.

Nolan has stated several things about Robin, notably that Robin's probably in a crib somewhere, showing that he, like many others, is unfamiliar with the Robin character and his place in Batman's mythos, and you won't learn it from Dark Victory either.

Furthermore, Nolan is not afriad to put little boys in red shirts as significant supporting characters or have people who have no business doing so, taking out thugs, driving the Batmobile and solving mysteries (Alfred, Gordon and Rachel respectively)... Robin's already in Begins, his role is just spread out between different people...

I do give it a rest often, btw, but every once in a while, I show up to put light to abject ignorance on certain characters and issues, in this case, Robin, and his relationship with the camp that has plagued Batman.

That said, a straight to DVD movie would be cool, but I don't see why they can't have a decent winter release on an off-Batman year.

and a 14 year old boy sidekick in a gay costume would really come in handy don't you think?"

So don't make him a sidekick and don't put him in a gay costume. Problem solved.

No boys in skirts...Stephanie Brown however.

I'm confused, why can't a boy Robin wear pants like he has for the last twenty years? And why would a girl be better?

I was suggesting I'd take her pants off and turn up the sex on the character.

That Penguin is cool. That Robin is pretty hot, but Robin should either be Dick Grayson followed by Jason Todd or Tim Drake taking the mantle or just no Robin period.

 

[Joker]

I'd like to have the invisible man as robin, because I dont want to see robin in this franchise

 

[GL1]

Ever get the feeling people aren't reading the thread?

Oh... heh.

 

[casketmouth]

I can't forsee Robin being in any of the new Batman films. If Robin is going to be on the big screen again, it will be in his own movie.

In Nolan's world there should be no other costumed freak, honestly not even cat woman.

Awww... you didn't see Scarecrow...

 

[FVD]

No Robin at all. But what I wouldn't mind seeing is a young Dick Grayson character who Bruce can care for throughout his childhood following the tragic deaths of his family. Just a little nod nothing more. But we don't need to see Robin. But if we could have a Robin like in the Animated Series then that'll be a Robin I'd want in the movie. No lame Holy Rusted Metal crap....ever.

 

[DrMylesOBoogie]

Has to be an unknown kid with a circus or gymnastic background. It should definitely be a father/son dynamic between Bruce and Dick.

 

[heypapajinx]

that kid from the first one.

maybe Bruce feels so bad for him he takes him in. that way he's too young to do anything and can't get in the way but there can be that hint that in the future he is going to become Robin. that's if Robin ABSOLUTELY MUST be in any of the movies... which i hope to hell he isn't.

 

[GL1]

The movies aren't an absolute must? I really don't understand this concept of manditory entertainment...

Regardless, the kid from the first one should be forgotten, quite normally, any kid that comes to live with Bruce should be Dick Grayson and have a circus background. There's no reason to botch up a great character. And they should (assuming we're staying true to the comics) be a supporting character, like Alfred, Gordon and Fox, and offer just as much help towards Batman's crimefighting.

 

[Stealth_Prime]

You know that's too bad everyone is so down on a kid side-kick....everyone is so against it...when a few think that Batman just isn't a "Batman" without a Robin. The personification of Balance. For every dark, there has to be light. For every bat, there's a bird.
Everyone is always assuming there's going to be some kind of homo thing going on...when in actually it's just a stranger takes in an orphan...and becomes father and son.
For some of us who never had fathers, sometimes the people who took care of us are the next best thing...to a father.
Sorry, if this is a bit out of sorts, its just my brother and I, well Robin helped us get through some pretty hard sh%t, he was our hero, someone to hold on to hope....and we got through...i'd hate for his children to be without a similar hero.
So if everyone doesn't like Robin being a boy, why not have the next 'partner'--not sidekick, but partner...closer to Batman's age?
Grayson the fanfilm is a good starting off point.
Batman dies, avenging him is in the hands of Dick....who's already a grown man....

 

[Spideyfan01]

I like Robin. IN THE COMICS! Batman forever wasn't that great, and Batman and Robin sucked! No Robin in any more Batman movies!

 

[FaT_tONle]

I think I wouldn't mind a cameo though... a son who gets tied up with the mob in the third... maybe Rupert Thorne or Marone has his family killed and Bruce looks after the boy... that's it... no Robin... you know that sh:t can work...

 

[Gotendbz-2]

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

Thats a really good choice, along with ear-boy over there he's the best choice so far, I could see him as a good Tim Drake and Jamie Bell (A.K.A Ear-Boy) as Dick Grayson. And as for the Scott Manchowhatshisname suggestion, he has too many chest hairs and looks too dorky.

 

[Gotendbz-2]

Eventually robin is going to show up. You can't simply ignore the character, and what's more if it is executed well, unlike the crapfest in the last two films, there will be nothing to complain about. Robin is batman's concious, the balance that at times reminds Bruce what he's fighting for. If you never want the character to develop that's great and all but for me at least that's the point of the story.

Now these are just plain awesome! I could see the second picture as Tim Drake and the third picture as Dick Grayson! The one with the goggles inspired me to draw a picture based on it! This is how I want Robin to look!!


P.S. And I want him to be flexible, unlike Batman I want him to be able to jump around and swing thru hoops since he is an acrobat, no more 13 inch rubber suits!

Who do you want for Robin?

An empty space lol

Yes, zero Robin is better than 3 of them.

 

[DGrayson]

I think the robin costume should look more like jim lee's version of all star batman and robin. I mean the one with the hood on the cape. He should be Dick Grayson played by a unkown actor in his late teens or early twenties. He should be aged 16-17 years old in the movies and have the circus background.

This should happen in the third movie. Nolan's gotta face it Robin is a big part of the batman mythos, he was there almost since the beggining and there should be no other robin I always thought the robin mantle should have died with jason so if there's a second robin it should be him no tim drake at all in the movie verse.

I think it's clear some fans hate the character, Nolan hates him too and Batman looks darker on his won but it's like Grant Morrison said: While he is a big part of the mythos you don't want him there all the time. So robin should have like 30 screen minutes.
