4. Robin - Nick Robinson

Now that Joel Schumacher's films are well enough faded out of memory, it's time to bring the Boy Wonder back to Batman movies. Sure, Zack Snyder hinted at him and there is a Nightwing movie in development, but the character deserves an introduction and not a death of evolution into an entirely different hero.

And Warner Bros should look no further than Love, Simon star Nick Robinson, who has that fundamental, eternal teen quality that Robin needs without actually being a teenager. He's also fairly tall and has a sort of everyman look to him that works perfectly for characters like Robin and Spider-Man.

Crucially, he's the kind of actor you'd have faith in not to make Robin completely annoying, which will be a concern for a lot of more cynical fans.
