RUMOR: Is Robin a Girl in TDKR?

RUMOR: Is Robin a Girl in TDKR?

Starting because of a cryptic casting comment by Variety, and prophesied by AICN, the new rumor states that actress Juno Temple may be playing the female robin.

HERE is what Variety said that created the hoo haw:

--it's known that Juno Temple is being eyed for a supporting role as a street-smart Gotham girl.


And HERE is what AICN's hercules added to that:

The same story in Variety suggests 21-year-old British actress Juno Temple (“Year One,” “Greenberg”) is being sought to play a “street-smart Gotham girl.” When we last saw Barbara “Batgirl” Gordon she was still pretty tiny, so my suspicion is they might be casting something akin to a female Robin.


Temple, who can now be seen in Jordan Scott's "Cracks" and Gregg Araki's "Kaboom," has two Sundance pics in the can -- Elgin James' "Little Birds" and last year's festival hit "Dirty Girl." She recently wrapped starring roles in the indies "Killer Joe" alongside Matthew McConaughey and Emile Hirsch, as well as "Jack and Diane." In addition, thesp plays Queen Anne in Paul W.S. Anderson's adaptation of "The Three Musketeers" and is gearing up to co-star in indie thriller "A Single Shot."

Is it true then? Dunno. We report, you decide.

AICN just say their GUESS is that it's a female Robin.

NONONO.
That's just wrong. She would rock as Harley Quinn.

Dick Grayson or not at all. The end, for Nolan's movies I'd have to say no Robin, but I want to see a real Batman & Robin movie some time.

@Superconnerkent I just hate the idea of a live action female Robin. Heck we haven't even had Tim Drake or Nightwing yet.

This is a joke right?

This sounds as silly as the old "Hathaway will play only Selina" rumor. A streetsmart girl could well be Holly from Year One -although she may not be a hooker.

Yeeeah, that's a hell of a guess. Quite a stretch.

That casting description could apply to almost any character. Besides, Nolan said a year ago that Robin was not part of this story.

Its more likely that she will play a girl Catwoman saves

Oh for crying out loud. Like what ultimatefan1974 said. She's most likely being cast as Holly Robinson... C'mon now. LOL.

My suspicion is she will be playing a transsexual version of The Blue Beetle.

There. New rumor.

My vote is for harley quinn but if she is a female robin im gonna be pissed, i'm sure i read on here a few months ago that Nolan said he wouldn't have robin (of any gender) in his 3 films, and so far he has stuck to that, awww hell with it in nolan i trust not let us down so far.

@superconnerkent

he does have a say, its in his contract, it was pre-negotiated before batman begins between him and nolan

She's probably Catwoman's version of Alfred. You know, the support system at home i.e. Mavis from TAS or something akin to that. I'm probably wrong, but that was my first thought.

Robin would not work in Nolans batman world.

If Nolan can't be convinced to include Dick Grayson in this movie, I highly doubt he would think throwing in a female Robin would be a good move.

Rubbish.

These people who are rumoring a Robin incarnation, obviously, don't know much about the Batman mythology or Nolan's style. There will not be a female Robin. Holly Robinson is more likely.

**nolan isnt going to lose the star of his films for robin, there isnt going to be a robin because one website made a guess**

“street-smart Gotham girl”= Whore. In BatMan: Year One, CatWoman looks after a little girl that's being pimped out. They're probably just making her older because 13 may be a little too real even for a Nolan BatMan film. Who knows.

The film is so anticipated that there will speculation about every damn role, right down to the garbage man who everyone will think is the Penguin.
