Don't get mad just yet, damnit. First of all, I just want to say I saw the Dark Knight a couple of hours ago. Easily in the top ten (obviously with films like Star Wars - the original, not the new crap, I can't shove it up so high yet). I'm jealous of Nolan's success. For those who are commited to the idea that he'd not continue the series, well think of it this way. This movie will gross so much green that it would probably guilt Nolan's conscience when it says Dude, why the hell are you not making another Batman movie?! Get rich moar! So why wouldn't he make another one? Ledger's death? Sure. But they wouldn't have to add him.
Anyway, Robin. I dislike the idea myself. It was my friend's suggesting, so I wanted to see how you guys would react to what he said. The past Robins have been horrible, just used as stupid comic reliefs basically trashing the literal meaning of The Dark Knight. Seriously I'd a gun to my head, but Nolan's not dumb. He's not going to do that. What if he did a dark character however. In fact, scrap off his nickname Robin, the Boy Wonder. Just damn Robin.
The youngest in a family of acrobats known as the "Flying Graysons," Dick watched a mafia boss kill his parents in order to extort money from the circus that employed them. Bruce Wayne, secretly the superhero Batman, took him in as his sidekick and legal ward after their deaths. - Wikipedia
Wow. How the hell can a guy make jokes when that happens, well except the Joker. He would have to be pretty damn dark. We all know, even back in Batman Begins days that the city is corrupt with the mob. What if during a plan to stop a mob-related crime, Batman is stunned to see that someone has already gotten them, and later sees the figure run out. Later on, he catches Dick Grayson who wants revenge for his parents. Bruce feels remorse because they are the same. Takes him under his wing, no pun intended.
He could teach Robin like the way that British guy from the first movie taught Bruce, and learn how to care about him and be the parental figure he never had (if you don't count Alfred). Then when Robin is ready to control his anger, he becomes Nightwing. Eventually however, he dies believing that one of the mafia members will stop doing crime showing he has changed his remorse, but a bullet in the heart renders him lifeless.
That's what my friend suggested, what do you think about it?
