His looks aren’t even good enough to get him into leading man stardom.

Now wait a minute; which ‘Robin’ will be he playing? It makes all the difference.

As a former BatFam nerd I see it this way..

Dick Grayson - no, he can’t, absolutely not

Jason Todd - hahhAHAHAHAHAHA nooope

Tim Drake - a match, yes, only good option

Stephanie Brown - well Drag is in so?

Damian Wayne - imagine the chucks

Carrie Kelly - ...

Is there a non-compete clause that would prevent MCU’s Spider-Man Tom Holland from playing Robin?

In terms of twinks, he’s so much sexier and charismatic than Ratboy.

I still think Timmy is not mainstream material, and even less a suitable superhero actor.

I understand wanting to be an A list and winning a lot of money, but i doubt it'll works. Fortunately for him he is a good actor and he will never be out of work (unless he becames an unbearable diva or an addicted)

I think the idea is if they introducing Dick in this film it is a cameo appearance to set up for the next one.

I hope Matt Reeves uses Robin though, the Robins are a critical part of Batlore and one Christopher Nolan just refused to engage with.

Grayson's butt has been a part of comics for decades now r33. As part of fighting back the male gaze, artists started giving it a lot of prominent panel placements like female butts got, then that led to in comic jokes with characters like Batgirl and Midnight recognizing Dick Grayson from his ass.

Timothée is skinny now but he can bulk up. He has the right shape and frame. Most importantly he's gorgeous and an extraordinary actor. The only young actor to be trusted with the franchise. The only one dark enough to eventually evolve. Isn't that the point.

That kid was born twiggish. He's even skinnier now than when he was in Call Me By Your Name, and he was practically anorexic then. People like that can't bulk up, no matter how they try.

And nobody gets a superhero franchise because they can act. It's all about the look.

^or the lively, bright, extroverted charisma. Dick Grayson is meant to be the effervescent light to Bruce’s somber dark, that’s the point of him.

Why can’t DC streetcast a beautiful, vivacious gymnast (preferably with Roma/European heritage) and give him acting lessons?

Huh? Dick Grayson is not one of comics dark characters.

Obviously adaptations don't have to be accurate, but Dick Grayson is supposed to be a hunk. Not Chalamet's moody, heroin chic appeal.

Like I was saying before, Dick is unique as he was one of the first male characters to be treated as a sex symbol and his book has, and has catered to, an unusually large female fanbase among comics.

If I was casting I'd be looking for more of a Zac Efron type. The type of guy who turns heads, like Dick has been written to do in many scenes.

Remember, Teemotay was on the shortlist for Spiderman, so obviously his "freakishly small frame" (as he described himself once) isn't an issue if the rumor is true. Costume designers could easily create something would bulk his frame and ass up nicely. CGI wouldn't be needed.

Dick is a twunk porn star in (frequently shredded) spandex. His superpower is that EVERYONE likes him. - the joke being that he's still on good terms with ALL of his many exes. And yes, he's shown as having girlfriends only, but I suspect that it's because he's been unconsciously saving himself for Bruce all these years.

This sounds just like that promo stunt Nolan pulled out of his ass with the JGL cop character at the end of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, that turned out to be filler.

“He’s totally Robin!” Ok, neckbeard; only the character is nothing like any of the Robins (too old for any of them, different name, civilian status and backstory, nondescript personality, doesn’t know Bruce, etc.), and it’s a moot point anyways as we never found out in-story whether he actually was going to become Robin because this was the last damn movie in the trilogy.

This was when JGL’s career was still warm, and some people actually bought tickets to this trashcan fire of a movie thinking they would see him properly introduced and set-up as Robin III for a spin-off movie.

John Robin Blake figured out that Bruce was Batman just as Tim Drake did, Blake also pushed Bruce to get back into the game just as Tim Drake did after Jason's death, Blake was a cop like Dick Grayson was for a time, was an orphan like Jason and Dick (and eventually Tim), his swinging into the BatCave at the was reminiscent of Dick's high wire days.

Pulling tenuous connections from different characters r90. You are reaching.

JGL was not playing Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake and certainly not Damian Wayne.

He was not playing Robin in any meaningful way, he doesn't even get trained by Bruce which is rather the seminal thing to the whole being a Robin.

It's a silly wink from a movie franchise that refused to use that huge part of Batman mythos, basically because Nolan thought Robin is too lame.

Are you a full idiot? The cop's name was revealed to be Robin in the last like... two mins of the movie. In Nolan's Batman universe, JGL is Robin. You sound like a fucking idiot who can't pick up on story telling, or perhaps you literally just weren't paying attention, which is what this actually sounds like. Anyway, the film ends with Robin obviously taking over the Batman mantle, so I just think you probably had a minor aneurism during the finale of The Dark Knight Rises, which I don't blame you for as the movie sucks.

I have a pet theory that Robin doesn’t work well as a kid in live-action projects because it disturbs general audiences to see a sweet, trusting happy-go-lucky child (albeit one who can kick ass) seriously imperilled by pushers & gangsters in dark fucked-up ways. Sometimes he gets kidnapped, poisoned, beaten, trussed-up and held a gunpoint..it’s a lot for a 10-14 year old boy.

I imagine that’s why they went with a buff late-adolescent Robin in BATMAN & ROBIN, because then not only does the character have more agency that ups dramatic potential for the story, but he can also be put in dangerous situations that won’t freak out the audience and break the disbelief.

When Robin is animated or inked on a page of a comic, it puts emotional distance between the viewer and the character making it easier to accept the situation.

by Anonymousreply 102February 26, 2020 4:50 PM

Yes a kid fighting crime is weird in live action. Even in comics they have aged it up. I think in the modern era Dick, Jason, and Tim all became Robin when they were teenagers now.

Damien Wayne started as a child, but he is a silly character who makes no sense that was raised by Ras Ah Ghul.

by Anonymousreply 103February 26, 2020 5:38 PM

Damien always felt weird in that post New 52 they established all the Robins were older when they took the mantle, but they still have a genetically modified 10 year old running round kicking ass and snarking. It makes him seem like a Naruto character that got lost.
