RUMOR: Robin To Appear In The Dark Knight Rises After All?

I'm all for seeing Nolan's take on Robin BUT again I think its a shame that this is meant to be Nolan's last Batman film. Who knows, Nolan is full of surprises so this could easily be true.

I dig it. I've always loved Robin and if Nolan wants to, I think he can pull it off. Plus, I HATED the Gl movie 2 years ago, and that certainly changed now. People's minds change. If he wants Robin, I think he'll pull it off flawlessly.

fingers crossed for open casting unless JGL is dick grayson which would rule.

This is probably not true since I just don't see that happening. But I wouldn't be to happy because I would like to see Dark Victory Robin not An older one again.

Yes both Nolan and Bale have both said no way to Robin in their film but no mention at all has been made of Nightwing. Perhaps they will skip Robin completely and go stright to Nightwing.

how would they possibly even know this information? how? who is the "source"? this is information that ONLY Nolan himself would know.

this is just a classic case of someone looking for attention and making stuff up

robin or nightwing its probably joseph gordon levitt to play the role and didnt he already confirmed he had a role in the movie

While I'm not a huge fan of Robin, it would be interesting to see what Nolan would do with the character. Like others have mention, with JGL in talks to join the flick, it kind of makes sense for the role. BUT...I hope we don't see the "Robin" we're used to seeing. Drop the name...the goofy costume and it could work.

This news is fantastic!!! A lot of you need to give Nolan and Bale a break. They (Director and Actor) should be allowed to outgrow the stuff they said years ago when they still needed to overcome Joel Schumacher’s garbage.

I imagine we are getting Richard Grayson.

I’m betting he will not be unlike any incarnation we have ever seen before.

or he might introduce him as robin in the circus and in his first crime-fightin mission but then officially let him be his sidekick after he is trained and changes his name to nightwing.

for god sake ive had enough of people saying robin doesnt exist
ok he wont apear on screen ill admit that but he does exist
heres proof that nolan has said
Nolan said
"Lets say that the first three films are batman year one and then next 3 are year two and robin doesn't come along till year two but he is there.
We have a theory for the boy wonder."

That was just after batman begins


Nolan said
"These films take place in the early days of a young batman,whereas richard grayson is still a little kid at this point,no younger than gordons kids."
That was after the dark knight


Trivia from the dark knight...
"In one draft of the script, a reference to robin being related to rachel dawes was considered. The character of richard grayson was not explicitly mentioned, however rachel dawes is revealed as being a relative of the grayson family. Christopher nolan had it removed because he didn't want to build hopes up about the robin character appearing in a future film."


Also catwoman is going to be in tdkr wihc is next year as it is feb 2011 now
Catwoman shows that the nolan universe can expand in characters

ARRION @ Lol, I was joking, I don't mind Robin, though I reckon he should be set up for a BATMAN 4 when NOLAN leaves, makes more sense.

Still having BANE b4 NIGHTWING don't make no sense lol!


Man, we need that NIGHTWING movie or TV show WB!

LEEE- That Batman and Robin poster hangs above your bed, doesn't it?

Maybe Dick Grayson as himself... but NO to Robin...

@LEEE Agreed they should focus on doing a nightwing TV series not a [frick]ing wonder woman series

and didn't some one post this rumour up then it was taken down

I would like to see little Dick Grayson in the next film, but not as Robin. In the next film, Grayson's folks could die and Bruce takes him in and by the end of the film the audience can wonder if future Batman films (possibly w/o Nolan) will include Robin.

But Dick Grayson should be introduced as a kid, not a full grown man like Chris O'Donnell or Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The only way I can see and would want to see Robin is if he was 13 or 14 years old not a man-child like Chris O'Donnell

I guess no one ever saw Sidekicks Ernie Reyes jr was a little bad ass.
