Batman Next Film: 4 Reasons Why Robin Should Be The Main Focus

2. To Create A True Batman

batman begins For me, to achieve the true portrayal of Batman on screen, he should seem slightly unhinged. He should be a loner when he is not playing the Bruce Wayne persona, a slightly crazy millionaire detached from the rest of society. Keaton€™s Batman probably came closest to this but ultimately a studio couldn€™t make a Batman film with a main character that the audience can€™t relate to or feel sympathy for. If Robin were the lead in the picture, however, then it would allow a filmmaker to take this approach with the Batman character. Robin could be the audience surrogate in a plot where a broken and sympathetic orphan is taken in by a reclusive and emotionally distant millionaire who, over the course of the film, learns to open up and accept others (awww). Having a relatable Robin who shows fear and is more open with his emotions would allow you to portray Bruce Wayne as the truly broken individual he is and would allow for a different and far more pure portrayal of Batman than we have seen before.
