New Batman Movie: 10 Things We Want To See in Batman 4

9. Robin

It€™s easy to jump on Robin as a bit of a little douche bag, especially after what Schumacher decided to do with him in the ill-fated Batman and Robin. In truth though, Robin is awesome, whichever version you€™re talking about. Traditionally Robin was Dick Grayson; there was also Jason Todd (killed by the Joker in A Death in the Family and resurrected in a Lazarus Pit) Tim Drake (now Red Robin) and finally Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne€™s own sociopathic son €“ yeah, a lot has happened behind the movie franchise. If Robin €“ we€™re talking comic book Robin here, not John Blake €“ was brought into the movie franchise and treated correctly, he would blow minds in theatres. You€™ve got to remember, Hit Girl from Kick Ass is based loosely on Robin (with Big Daddy as Batman, obviously) and apart from the horrific violence and swears, she was basically a perfect imagining of what Robin should be on screen. Get him in there, we say. Batman without Robin is like Del Boy without Rodney.
