Why is there a lot of hatred for this Robin character? I don’t understand it! Whenever a new Batman movie is on the way, and whenever the Robin character is mentioned, the character will get a lot of negative criticism by the fans. A new rumor for Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight: Rises” hit the web recently that Robin might be introduced to the new film. It kind of makes sense to bring in Robin for the next film. If you’re going to use Bane as the main villain for the next Dark Knight flick, might as well use Robin then. Bane was mostly used in “Batman & Robin” comics and animated series.

Why was the character, Robin, brought into the Batman franchise? Try to remember that Bruce Wayne’s parents  were murdered  in a random mugging in the alleys of Gotham. Bruce  had nothing growing up. His parents being murdered, ruined his life forever. So Bruce trained himself into crime fighting to what he would become, Batman, later on. Batman needed a crime fighting partner. So Bruce, preferred that partner to be young. When he got together with Dick Grayson the first Robin, Bruce taught him detective work, taught him some fighting skills and acrobatic stuff. The reason for Robin is that not only that he would be a good crime fighting partner, Bruce is trying to recreate what he lost in his childhood, a family. Bruce wanted to be a part of something he never had growing up.

Even if Robin may possibly be used for the next Batman flick, I don’t think it’s going to be throughout the whole movie. Maybe Robin maybe mentioned very briefly, maybe he will get a small cameo at the end of the movie or somewhere in the middle. Robin have always been an important character of the Batman franchise. He was created hoping to attract children to the Batman franchise too.

I have no problem with the Robin character. Robin is also a useful crime fighting partner. He is smarter than Batman. Faster than Batman and more mysterious. I find it kind of funny how a lot of people like Hit-Girl from “Kick Ass” and everyone is hating on Robin, what’s wrong with that picture? What ever they do with Robin, I’m sure Chris Nolan won’t fail us. In Christopher Nolan, I trust.
