No, if anything, a young Dick Grayson maybe, but not Robin. I think Robin should come when Batman is in a real tight situation of villians, like say Clayface?

Robin is only a sidekick and should not be in batman 3 because there would be no point. chris nolan would mostly only show the new villians and more of batman but not show a small time sidekick like robin. Also i dont really know who should play him =]

I don't think robin should ever appear in any of the future batman movies it will only bring the homoerotic comic style of the 50s or the childishness of the 60s tv show but if they had to bring robin in then that little hobbit frodo baggins himself elijah wood would probably end up playing him.

I think he definetly should be in the third his appearence in batman forever was good, but i think he needs to be a darker character like batman.

Listen, robin is the gayest of batman's sidekicks, OK. If any sidekick should be in the next batman film it should be Nightwing. think about it, He's older, stronger and badder then any robin could ever be and if there looking for someone to play either Nightwing or Robin i'm a pretty good actor and i've been looking for work so think about it Mr. Nolan:cool: P.S. if you even think about casting Shya LaBoff i will kill you with my bare hands.

This has turned into an anti Robin campaign.

(1) Nightwing is older Robin. You can't have Nightwing without first having a great Robin.
(2) Robin is half of Batman's existence. To ignore that is to ignore half of Batman's experience.
(3) Robin is the balance that keeps Batman from diving off the deep end of darkness. Yeah, there's such a thing. He confronts this thin line his whole life. It's his biggest struggle.
(4) Robin needs to be de-blasphemed. I understand the hate for Robin incarnations-to-date, but what must be done, sooner or later, is for Robin to finally be written and casted very well. Simple. Even Batman can be lame under a bad production. I personally hope Dick Grayson/Robin is introduced in the next movie, or at least, within the next couple of films - with justice. It's been done in the books, particularly when Jeph Loeb writes him. It just needs to be done on the big screen.

Right you are, Null. What would Chico have been without The Man?

But the whole "Dick-Grayson-the-Acro-BatBoy-Wonder" schtick feels a little queer to me. But we do have to save Nightwing, the Tommy Gunn (Rocky V) of the Batman series, for a later flick. I'd like to see him played by Chris O'Donnell, who did a hell of a job in Batman & Robin.

If Nolan's gonna put Robin into the series, we've got to scrap the whole orphaned acrobat thing - it's too outdated, it's too "Great-Depression" for my tastes. This is where we get creative. For example how about making Robin a young Sudanese refugee from Darfur whose parents were raped and murdered by evil soldiers from Chad? The Rev. Al Sharpton once told the courts in a young actress's defense "give us a black Orphan Annie". I say give us a black Robin Chris Nolan. Any ideas.

As for Nightwing - Greyson as a young man chose Superman as his new role model: an understandable decision. Let's bring in Vin Diesel as Clark Kent (and Nightwing) to Gotham City in Nolan's fourth and final installment of his Batman series, to send Bruce Wayne from whence he came: the shadows of lawlessness which darken his soul. Gotham is not a city for the hapless vigilante. It is one for Superman and Nightwing to protect with heroism, not brutality. (We have a presumption of innocence in this country guys.) From there, Nolan in all of his genius may begin the new Superman series.

Any thoughts.

i don't think any of batmans sidekicks should appear in the new movies. i think nolan can do so much more with exploring the villains of batman and trying to introduce robin would just detract from that (plus i never liked robin anyway.. haha...)

I would like to see Nolan do something with the villians like he did in the Dark Knight. I was upset with what they did with Two Face though. I mean, out of a what, 2 and a half hour movie? Two Face was only Two Face for like half an hour. I thought they could've done so much more with him.

Granted, Nolan's attempt at the Joker was brilliant, I'd like to see more in depth villains than sidekicks.

I'd like to see some of the female villains in the next movie (minus catwoman, puke!) I'd be interested to see what he'd do with Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. I heard they weren't bringing the Joker back (I don't know how they could with the deceased Ledger, no one could ever replace him!) so I doubt they'll ever introduce Harley Quinn

I don't think Robin would work well since he has not shown up yet
When he was introduced last time it was horrible and took a lot out of the movie

I agree, and shouldn't Robin be younger? Say maybe, 13 or 14

Nolans batman is set far too early for Dick Grayson to be included (at least as a sidekick). I'd be open to the possibility of Bruce adopting Dick in a movie in the coming future, but I think batman 3 would be FAR too early.

I concider Nolans continuity as the foundation of Bruce. He doesn't need a sidekick for a long time coming,

Introducing Robin would ruin the new movies.
Batman is a dark, brooding ninja -then along comes a school boy in bright red, green and yellow acrobat spandex! It doesn't really work does it?

Robin is hard to do and get it right. I think they should introduce him in the "first" film as a child (show the death of his parents under the big top)... and then have Bruce send him off to a boarding school... that way he's looked for under the "Wayne Foundation." This needs to be spread out over 2 or 3 movies though... Have Dick reappear occasionally, or have Alfred go and check on him. Then by the 3rd film maybe 5 years has gone by and he's ready to be Robin.

They could combine all the best parts from all three robins into one. Like take that Tim was able to figure out that Bruce was Batman, take that Dick's parents were murdered and this made Bruce sympathize with him, and that Jason was.... well no one liked Jason, that's why people had him murdered with the call in thing. But anyhow, the transition from robin to night wing should be one of the quickest that could possibly happen. It would be cool if nightwing was reimagined as being all black, with his cape/wings like a bird, maybe have a helmet/body armor as well. I mean Gotham is a huge a city, it might not be that much of a stretch. It would just need a strong impetus story wise to fit into the 'realistic' nolan batman.

But I do agree that the third movie is too soon, which time line speaking... Dark Knight was basically 1 year into Batman's origin. ("Let's wind the clock's back a year".... thus proving Batman's only been around for a year or less.) So this third movie, if it takes places months or maybe directly after the Dark knight, will still only be... at most 2 years after Batman showed up around Gotham.

Robin would need to show up after batman began showing serious signs of PTSD, and physical fatigue from fighting every night and not seeing dramatic differences in Gotham's wellbeing. I mean with all the concussions that we would get, it would only be reasonable to assume he would get depressed, or at least a fatality complex, after 5 years of fighting night after night.

Forcing him to the 'edge of darkness', this was always shown in the comics as Bruce Wayne get's more and more stoic as time went on, Alfred always being the one who noticed most as in this recreated bit of dialogue that will always stick with me from i forget which comic.

Alfred - "Remember at the beginning, the grunt you used to practice, the one you said you wanted to strike fear into the criminals of Gotham?"
Wayne - "Yea"
Alfred - "You're doing it all the time now."

No I think if they put Robin in the movie it wont turn out as good as the previous part there will be just to much to focus on.

I love Robin, but I think it's too early in the story for him to be added. Maybe show him losing his parents and being adopted by Bruce as someone else posted, but put it near the end of the movie leaving it open for everyone to speculate. It's the end of the trilogy so it would show us that Batman does indeed have a Robin, but leaves it up to us to interpret which Robin he develops into.

yes, robin should be in the new batman movie and he should be played by arnold schwarzenagger. aaaaaaragh, get to da batchoppah....i jest.
robin should not be in the movie. lets not see this series to degenerate into the pile of ridiculous uninspired flat mindless guano that the previous batman movies 'series' did, especially the one with schwarzenagger as mr freeze and whatever else i've blocked from my memory from that movie.

You retard. Nightwing is not a sidekick, and, fyi, Nightwing IS Robin, you idiot. When Dick Grayson grows up he doesn't need Batman anymore, so he became Nightwing. Maybe you could think about things before you post them. :p
