Batman: Every Live-Action Robin Ranked From Worst To Best

7. Joseph Gordon Levitt - John "Robin" Blake (The Dark Knight Rises)

If there's one term to describe this character best, it's Schrodinger's Robin; because John Blake both is and isn't Robin at the same time. That's why he's here more as an honourable mention than anything else.

As you likely already know, The Dark Knight Rises was the epic conclusion to the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy. You probably also know that it received mixed reviews, with some fantastic highs and crushing lows. Unfortunately, this character sat more on the latter end of that spectrum, feeling tacked on and not turning many heads.

John Blake was a Gotham Police Officer who discovered the identity of Batman and became an ally in the fight against Bane. The trilogy concluded with John revealing his real name (Robin) and inheriting the Batcave.

It's easy to put him at the bottom, as the character never becomes Robin officially. In fact, it's implied that he's going to take the mantle of Batman. Including him in the list at all is a tough decision, but the deliberate parallel to the iconic sidekick means he gets a place - even if it is at the bottom.
