3. Robin – in Shorts!!!
I’ve no problem with seeing Robin return. Much as he might detract from the Burton/ Nolan Batman, and try as we might to forget Chris O’Donnell’s stint as the Boy Wonder, Robin is an integral part of the Batman mythos, dating back all the way to 1940’s Detective Comics #38. Be it Dick Grayson, Jason “What-a-Nice-Crowbar” Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown (back off nerds, I liked her), or even *sigh* Damian Wayne, you can’t deny that the little red one is an important element for what makes Batman…Batman.
After seven years of solo Batman brooding, it’s time for the series to introduce Team Batman, or at least have a lighter tone. Unless Warner are up for filming A Death in the Family, because who wouldn’t love to see Jason Todd beaten to a bleeding pulp on the big screen? Bring on a new era; bring on Robin in any incarnation that’s fitting.
There’s just one thing we don’t need to see: Prepubescent ass-cleavage and crotch-bulge IN IMAX 3D!!!!
