I think a Robin is needed when batman gets older and wishes to pass on his legacy. As far as I am concerned Dick Grayson is the only Robin who later becomes Night Wing. The other Robin's make no sense and just suck. I don't want to see a big bulking super heroe parading the town with little kids. It's just sick. Comic writers need to fix this error...and improve the Batman legacy. only gayson makes sense. 741083@blogcritics.org Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:13:07 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/03/130425.php#comment-737310 I think that if you put in the robin of the yellow and green tights variety then yeah you're in trouble, but I think a robin more of the nightwing variety is more plausible. They updated batman from the Adam West version, then they could (if they wanted to) update Robin. The reason from my understanding why Batman took in Robin was because Batman saw himself in Robin. Robin not only added in the place for a kid to relate to, but he showed a part of Batman that remembered his past and the loss of innocence that he once had, I think. Now does Robin fit into the new series of films with Christian Bale? I'm not sure... the film makers would have their hands full if they wanted to keep Epic and good, but that's not to say its not do able. I think Robin's character served his purpose with the dark knight and now has moved on with the titans. I just didn't think he was a terrible character, I write alot and I think about these things. How the characters fit together and affect the audience is important and I don't think it should be ignore. 737310@blogcritics.org Mon, 4 Aug 2008 23:52:49 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/03/130425.php#comment-736627 It depends on Warner Bros. approach to Batman 3. Whether or not they would want to continue the franchise is vital. Or at least one in a darker Nolan-based state of mind. If they do choose to go forward then they need to finish with a film called " The fall of Batman featuring the ultimate end of Bruce Wayne as Batman when he suffers permanent paralization from the waste down as a result of a backbreaker he receives from an evil muscle-bound Roid-freak character named Bane. The film should then focus on the transition of a new character as Batman who is an understudy to Wayne as Wayne was to Ros Al Guhl. Creating the opening for a new trilogy and a new title..."The Legend of Batman". How does that sound? 736627@blogcritics.org Thu, 31 Jul 2008 20:51:21 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/03/130425.php#comment-735615 Good post, I agree that Robin is an unwanted and ill advised component in this day and age. It feels so much more exciting seeing Batman having to make hasty decisions on life threatening scenes with little to no backup. Robin is at best a link to children and at worst a cheap hokey gimmick. These new Batman's aren't taking place in Chuck E. Cheese so Robin is unnecessary. 735615@blogcritics.org Sun, 27 Jul 2008 18:08:32 EDT
