- mjsamps, on 07/02/2008, -5/+149This guy is dedicated to Batman. The dude's not in it for the paycheck and you gotta appreciate that.
- Zcrubby, on 07/02/2008, -1/+111I think I have a man crush...

- feshmania, on 07/02/2008, -0/+70...said Robin
- Xihix, on 07/02/2008, -1/+63It's Christian mother ***** Bale. You'd be gay if you didn't have a man crush.
- RyanElston, on 07/02/2008, -7/+59I think Christopher Nolan and Bob Kane/David S. Goyer could put together an awesome robin character. I mean it is POSSIBLE. Just because robin has been written in all the other movies as a total douche doesn't mean that there is no alternative.
- SinisterSaracen, on 07/02/2008, -0/+48Christian Bale's Batman would probably get sick and tired of Robin's whining and beat the crap out of him anyway..
- krsone2424, on 07/02/2008, -3/+49Holy lame sidekick, Batman!
- Hegemony, on 07/02/2008, -1/+28At least Bale will be the voice of reason should that ever come up. They'd be insane to piss off the best batman ever.
- cowisgood, on 07/02/2008, -0/+23This is one of the few Batman series that has a much, much less cheesy attitude.
It's understandable that he wants to keep it that way, and casting a Robin character without being lame would be tough. - goldfenix, on 07/02/2008, -2/+23I hope he doesn't rule out having an Adam West cameo.
- mike727360, on 07/03/2008, -2/+21The original reason Robin was introduced was to draw in a younger comic book reading audience. That reason no longer exists. We wanted the darker, focused, psychotic that Christian Bale has re-introduced. If they want the younger audience, go see Harry Potter!
......maybe a Batman/Nightwing movie....... - SeventhSon, on 07/02/2008, -2/+21Because Batman's such a badass that he doesn't need a dweeb like Robin.
- BlaqReaper, on 07/03/2008, -1/+20If he didn't want to share center stage then he wouldn't have agreed to be in the Dark Knight considering Heath Ledger, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal (and previously Katie Holmes) are all big names.
- RudeTurnip, on 07/02/2008, -0/+19Robin has only shown up in incarnations of Batman where Batman is a bit older. Bale's Batman is still relatively new and young in his crimefighting career.
- CTK14A, on 07/03/2008, -0/+18Christian Bale was destined to become Bruce Wayne -- see Empire of the Sun.
- Vapor17, on 07/02/2008, -0/+15SWEAR TO ME!!
- goldfenix, on 07/02/2008, -0/+15Honestly, I think the bright red suit just kinda defeats the whole purpose of this new Batman. And you can't really have Robin without a red suit. If it were me, I'd probably skip right over Robin and go straight to Nightwing.
- Iztikeit, on 07/02/2008, -6/+21Or, maybe, he is in it for the money and doesn't want to share center stage with anyone. I mean, this new Batman era is definitely going to go down in cinema history.
- RobotCitizen, on 07/03/2008, -0/+14And the winner is... (opens envolope)... blogosphearblogosphear!
(applause) - BlaqReaper, on 07/03/2008, -1/+15Hey may not be the best batman (even though I think he is), but I think his strength is how well he portrays both Batman and Bruce Wayne.
- jfg84, on 07/02/2008, -4/+18They've remade Batman in a brilliant way and they can remake Robin. You can't just forget that Robin ever existed, he's a huge part of the Batman story.
- mandarin, on 07/02/2008, -1/+14I dont see how the name 'Robin' strike fear into the heart of evildoers.
- EightBitFury, on 07/03/2008, -1/+12I just think that it is way too early in Batman's career for him to have a protege. This series so far is the origins and beginning of batman, and in it batman is still learning a few things himself. Although they could probably make a pretty badass robin, they shouldn't do it just yet.
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -2/+12Nobody is better than Adam We.
- Tanthiel, on 07/03/2008, -0/+10I wouldn't mind if in the far off future they did something similar to cartoon networks Batman Beyond. I really enjoyed that cartoon, maybe out of youthful ignorance, but I still think it could make an interesting story on the big screen.
That said, I'm not too keen to see a Robin character. I trust they could do it right if they wanted to, but that would be at least a few movies down the line. - Neuz89, on 07/02/2008, -0/+10having robin around would be bad for his billionaire playboy image which would result in less poon on/off camera
- ohnoitstaylor, on 07/03/2008, -0/+10The only way I will settle for Robin ever being in a new Batman installment is if he gets brutally murdered like the Jason Todd Robin.
- Xihix, on 07/02/2008, -0/+9Nolan wouldn't want to have Robin anyway, though.
- kinseyincanada, on 07/02/2008, -0/+8i really dont want them to milk batman and keep churning out films, although i would like to see them put the riddler into the films again, and maybe Bane or Killer Croc in small role.
- reddevil3, on 07/03/2008, -0/+8OMG! I almsot died laughing.
- xtal3, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7The Grayyyyy Ghostttt
- blazes816, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8He's a total geekburger with cheese.
- ohnoitstaylor, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7Bale would remove Keaton's head and keep it in the freezer next to the sorbet.
- vpshockwave, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7Bale would kick Keaton's ass.
- Uiaccsk, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7dugg. adam west rules.
- Iztikeit, on 07/02/2008, -3/+10I'd have no problem with Robin, if he played an actual character and not just Batman's bitch. Give us a legitimate Robin!
- Atheuz, on 07/03/2008, -3/+9Because Robin has always and always will be seen as the little boy that batman has a homoerotic relationship with, and in no way can be seen as cool or nowhere near the seriousness of this new series.
- JigoroKano, on 07/03/2008, -2/+8The Batman mythology did start with Frank Miller.
Before Miller, Batman was nothing more than a modern Zorro with a little boy side kick.
Seriously, they were the same ***** character: the cave, the car/horse, the equipment, the cape, the wealth, the back story, ... the butler for Christ sakes! - hammerpants, on 07/03/2008, -0/+6Old batman don't get poon?
- Vzylexy, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5Oh *****, I love that episode!
- pseudologue, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5Look it up... where?
the old comic books? oh look. it's lame, as it makes no ***** sense of have a young kid running around Batman while he fights crime while at the same time making Batman seem like a pedophile.
the previous movies? oh look. it's even lamer. So they're ... partners. Gotham has a civil union?
the tv show? wrong tone. If it was a campy recreation then yes, Robin and Batman can go out fighting 'crime' as if this was an imaginary episode of Muppet Babies. - Apocalyptic0n3, on 07/03/2008, -2/+7Priceless.
- jwolcott, on 07/03/2008, -2/+7Robin is gay anyway.
- jfg84, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5Speaking of Jason Todd, it would be pretty sweet to see Nolan do an adaptation of The Death of Robin. That would be a perfect way to fit Robin into this series.
- bigspooon, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5you can say that for a lot of superheroes...
Green Lantern anyone? How about The Wonder Twins? Mr. Fantastic? Superboy?
Just because the name on its own doesnt sound fearsome doesnt mean its connotation cannot change. If spongebob kicked big-time criminal ass, im pretty sure he would strike fear into the heart of evildoers... - slyzxx, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5Though Robin is a part of batman it took away from him its self. I`ve seen it all batgirl, batboy, batwoman. they all sucked.
- BevansDesign, on 07/03/2008, -2/+7Because Batman is way cooler without Robin. It's hard to be a brooding loner when you have a boy sidekick dressed in red, yellow, and green.
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -3/+8Yes. You mean you've never actually kissed a girl, and therefore feel the need to convince total strangers that you're Heterosexual.
