10 Cool Scenes Cut From Tim Burton's Batman Movies

10. Robin's Origin - Batman

Poor Robin hasn’t had a great time on the big screen. Tim Burton ignored him for two movies, he was terminally uncool in the Schumacher movies and Nolan's trilogy ended before he could don the suit.

Warner Bros toyed with introducing Robin in the original, only to realise they could save him for a later movie. His origin scene was due to take place after the Joker “kills” Bruce in Vicki Vale’s apartment. Batman jumps on a policeman’s horse and gives chase to the Joker, and they eventually pass through a circus performance by The Flying Graysons. A stick of dynamite later Robin's parents are dead, and he attacks the Joker’s van, causing it to crash.

Kiefer Sutherland was approached for the role, and while it might have been cool the film ultimately didn’t need it. Plus, if it was revealed Joker created both Batman and Robin, fans would have probably revolted in the cinemas.
