Last Film You Saw

[Bigga]

Can't be arsed going back to find the ridiculous post, but the rant about it being "a film simply about a man wearing his underwear on the outside and hitting people" was just something I took as hysterical attention seeking from the intellectual troll, I found it mildly amusing but more sad and pathetic if I'm honest.

The same troll who is too cowardly to post downstairs anymore because of his awful take to do with #45.

And this Batman doesn't even wear outside underpants with the suit.

That would be the infamous Damocles...


... who's a big fan of US pantomime wrestling...

Where does Robin fit into this universe?

Well, that's an intriguing question.

Technically speaking, 'Robin' would be in the 12-15 age range if you factored things in properly. As it happens, 'The Batman' is much older when 'Dick Grayson' comes along as he's only just off his own training wheels in this film.

That means he'd be dealing with an emotional child who also witnessed his parents' murder and has as deep a burning rage and anger as 'Bruce Wayne'.

Can't see him in this trilogy, but towards the end of it, really, as there's so much to tell without a sidekick.

Doesn't Batman meet Robin in year 3?

Isn't there a good reason beyond the relative age ranges of why Robin isn't in the post-Millennium Batman films?

Excluding extended universe, animated stuff.

He is just a daft character that doesn't work in the tone of the dark and gritty blockbusters.

Just too silly and camp.

Sad but a little bit true.

However you cant deny the characters legacy. He predates Joker ffs! There are a lot of cool stories involving Batman sidekicks so it would be a disservice to not include him

Hell, when shit characters like Peacemaker and Ikaris can star in movies, why cant we see a Dick,Jason or Tim?

Because it turns blockbuster films into box office bombs?

Unlike you and Bigga I'm not a reader/consumer of the comic books but it's obvious that Robin just doesn't work in the mass market self-contained universe films.

Makes sense as a potential successor though which would fit with Bigga's theory of him coming in at the end.

Maybe the directors and producers will be bold enough to emulate the ending of No time to to die.

That was already the ending of The Dark Knight Rises

Im a huge Batman fan meaning the mythology built around him. I enjoy the Batman, but I felt it was just a stylish version of a story I have already seen. Push the story forward, break new ground

It was hinted at with Robin abut I meant more of just a nod and a wink and Wayne/Batman actually dying not just presumed dead. Maybe a death halfway through a movie rather than just at the end?

How do you break new ground with a comic book IP? Stylistic and use of different story telling devices is the only way surely?

Doesn't Batman meet Robin in year 3?

Technically speaking, but then he doesn't meet 'Robin' at all, in Nolan's universe.

I think Reeves will apply some feasible boundaries in this run of films.

But, you have to remember if Reeves is applying 'real world' aesthetics to this version of 'The Batman' then it would lead to 'real world' consequences, such as the comic book depiction of 'Joker' beating little 'Robin/ Tim Drake' to death with a crowbar, which sets 'Bats' off.

I can't see him going that route, but it's possible 'Dick Grayson' gives birth to 'Nightwing' cos he thinks 'Bats' has gone 'soft'.
