Holy potential, Batman!
Robin is an enduring figure for comic book readers: he’s Batman’s loyal sidekick, a younger, more colorful character who injects much-needed optimism into the darkness of Gotham City. So, it’s a surprise to many that Robin hasn’t bagged himself a solo movie yet. It’s not like the character can’t work on screen, either.
Stuck without a sidekick, yet again, the super-smart, somewhat nerdy Tim Drake appeared in Batman’s life, practically giving himself the title of Robin. Tim's tenure was the most balanced, and he's an underrated Robin who could have massive appeal but lacks the name recognition. Tim’s life as Robin has seen some interesting turns, not least because the writers couldn’t seem to settle on a moniker for him.
Irrespective of which Robin leads the movie, if we want a Robin origin story that’s close to the source material, it’ll likely be geared toward younger viewers because every Robin starts off their career in childhood. Batman Forever aged up Robin, and Titans only hinted at Robin’s childhood in flashbacks. If Robin is going to take center stage, the creators will need to tell the story of a child.
