If he was robin that would be way crouded with tailia try to revenge her father and bane trying to kill batman and based on the trailer release a bunch of prisoners from (arkham) and the GCPD chasing batman and cat woman's crime spree and (Mabye ) mr.fox gets kidnaped being that cat woman has a bat cycle and bane has a tumbler .

Robin could never fit in to this story .

[BatmanWTSOG]

@Trethebear While that's how I thought at first I then realized that because there are so many villains in this film that Dick Grayson could definitely fit into this film. We already know that there is a role that could easily be seen as Dick Grayson so it wouldn't be overcrowding what has already been shown to be in the film if John Blake is Dick Grayson. Plus there have been scenes between Bruce and "John Blake" as well as Batman and "John Blake".

[xfactor541]

Be careful what you wish for people. As cool as Robin sounds, and the cools things Nolan could do with that character, I dont see him putting him in this movie, and if he did, it just wouldnt fit. Nolan's Batman series has been predicated on Batman and batman alone, nobody else. Its revolves around The Dark Knight's internal issues and the battle between being the hero even though hes hated for it, or to give it up and watch Gotham City crumble. Adding a sidekick just seems silly from this POV.

[BatmanWTSOG]

@xfactor541 Robin is very much connected to Batman's internal issues. He prevents Batman from going too far and isolating himself to the point that he doesn't even recognize himself or his mission anymore. That angle isn't as silly. lol

[jeremymuccllar]

i want robin i want robin i wan robin

[izzmontano91]

Robin needs to be there if bats gets his back broke

[DallasCowboys12000]

john blake is actually dick grayson, and yes he will be robin!!!

[captloizou]

Is it possible that Joseph Gordon Levitt isnt Robin, but Terry McGuiness Batman Beyond character?

[17monsterguy]

@Wafflesinablender I think it was in Dark Victory that Dick said his nickname was robin BEFORE his parents death...

[xxxjawad786]

To*

[JeffLeong1998]

@xfactor541 oh yeah then why Catwomen is in it

[felipeawesomeness]

They should atleast have bruce going to see the flying graysons at the end of the movie

[Wafflesinablender]

@rpsmith014 it actually does spell robin but what I don't get is why it says robin because if he was a little kid he wouldn't be robin and his name is Richard (Dick) Grayson.

[rpsmith014]

@Samuel24842 In what I think is just the second shot or so, after it shows the boy singing it shows fans holding up signs and the first letter, R, is shaped like the Robin r.
