Christian Bale = selfish for not wanting a Robin in any movie.

What a shame. I was looking forward to the Boy Wonder being in the next movie so much /sarcasm.

Christian Bale tried out for the role of Robin in Batman Forever but lost out to Chris O'Donnell. Maybe he hates the Robin character because of this. :o

Seriously, do you want another Batman and Robin?

No Robin, but a friend of mine thought Harvey Dent turned into Robin. lol. So he saw the third theatrical trailer for The Dark Knight, and he just says out loud Yes Robin's going to be in this one, and everyone in the theater turns to look at this idiot, but of course he's sitting next to me, so they think I'm an Idiot also lol. I start rattling off at him. It was really funny. We almost go thrown out for arguing to loudly.

It's too late for Robin, he had his chance in Batman & Robin and we all know how bad that movie was.

Yeah Robin doesn't fit in with Nolan's Batman at all. I don't think he is being selfish, just taking some pride in his work.

I know some people like Robin, but I think he is a weak character. Maybe if they made a new robin as a drunk lose cannon. Like ready to brawl. Because he has always been a wuss in the past.

Or the smartest man alive.

Robin difficult to do well with current tone of Batman movie.  Hulk never like idea of sidekicks and always feel it outdated gimmick from 60s that get carried over longer than should. 

Looking at comics of today Hulk notice only superhero that still actively have sidekick is Batman, because Robin is such famous character DC feels honor bound to keep character around in one form or another.  Hulk much preferred having Dick Grayson grow up and become Nightwing then no more Robin. 

Present day Robin (Tim Drake) little more tolerable for Hulk cause he now around age 17 or 18, but anytime sidekick character 14 years old with no super powers and fighting crime Hulk have trouble suspending disbelief.

I don't believe Christopher Nolan wants Robin either.  It wouldn't work in the series at this current time.  Not saying that someday down the line that might change....but hopefully in the hands of a skilled writer/director.  Robin has a habit of ruining the series.

Robin sucks, so this is a good thing.

I think the only way Robin would be in the next one would be to cater for the slower, below par intelligent part of the audience.Because Robin, as we know, is the master of the obvious.

"Holy smokes Batman, the building is on fire! We've got to save those people!"

I HATE Robin. Bringing him into the series would just straight up ruin the movies Nolan is trying to portray.

Lol, um no actually I totally agree with Bale, this series of Batman does not need a side kick, it wouldn't fit in, and its stupid, like he said in this one "I DONT NEED HELP!"

So, you support having an adolescent boy in underwear running around in a cape with Batman?

>_>

>.>

O_O

I hate robin.So hes not selfish.

I don't want this fanchise to go back to the travesty that was Batman and Robin. It aint just Bale who dosen't want Robin in the near future, alot of other people (including me) don't want him either..

Christian Bale is doing the world a favour. How can that be selfish?

Batman should never have gotten sidekick to begin with, not even in the comics, and especially not one like Robin. He's seriously one of the lamest sidekicks ever. As Nightwing he might be cool, but when he was Batman's sidekick, he was just.. sad.

"Yeah I don't think it's just him that doesn't want a Robin.. I think the majority of fans of Nolan's Batman don't want a Robin.

Robin sucks badly, possibly one of the most hated comic characters.

I dont think hes selfish as much as protecting himself from being in a bad situation.

anyone remember what happened to the last movie that featured robin?

If robin or batgirl or any of that crap entered into Nolan's and Bale's films i wouldnt go to see them. Keep it simple, keep it dark. leave all the campy crap out please.

the only reason i presume that you want robin in the movies is because your abit fruity , othewise such wanting of fail does not compute 0_o

I think there is a difference between selfishness and plain old good sense.  I don't think the idea of bringing Robin back is a completely bad idea I think the bad idea is the follow through that we have seen. I think in the correct way you could bring him back to have another character to play off batman.

1. Robin needs to be played by an unknown. You can't have someone everyone knows playing Robin so to keep him in the place he deserves to be, as a sidekick.

2. Minimize the time Robin is allowed to talk. I never found in the movies or the TV show he had anything good to say. A proper script can allow the character to be involved but let the characters we care about talk.

3. If you are going to step back in time to bring him back you must also bring back the "Shark Repellent"

I would hate to have Robin as a character in the movie. 

Nolan's Batman wouldn't put some kid in danger and anyways at a point it just gets creepy having a young boy in tights hanging around batman all night.  "You've tripped on one of your tricks this time, Joker!"  Or, "The way we get into these scrapes and get out of them, it's almost as though someone was dreaming up these situations; guiding our destiny."  Ah, Robin you say the darndest things.

Robin would make Batman horrible

Robin would kill the movies. The Boy Wonder? Sheesh...

"Christian Bale sucks as Batman IMO.
"

I don't want to see Robin EVER in Nolan's adaptation of the superhero. He's pathetic, uncool, efiminate. He'd ruin the seriousness that Nolan has built up with Begins and the Dark Knight. Oh, and just for the record, Nolan has also said (before Begins was even released) that as long as he was director, we would never see Robin in his movies.

"Or maybe it is because Robin sucks... which he does. A cool character? He's the most pathetic excuse for a sidekick I have ever seen.

Didn't Bale assualt his mum or something, damm idiot

I agree with bale on this one, remember last time we had robin in a batman film, yikes, Definatly go streight to nightwing dont pass go dont collect 200 pound.

"Didn't Bale assualt his mum or something, damm idiot"

Why are people saying "Robin is a great character, who is well liked"?
Need I remind you that Batman fans voted by phone to kill Robin during the "A Death in the Family" line?
Any sensible person despises that ill conceived bastard...

I f people "need" Robin on the big screen they can make a Teen Titans movie. 

"Robin is a cool character, I think that is very selfish on Bale's part I think he wants the whole movie to be about himself, well newsflash Bale, you're not batman in real life. I think everyone here agrees that Joker is 5x cooler than Batman, and to see a character as cool as the Robin was in the Batman cartoon, I think that would be very neat! Discuss.
Oh and for those who don't know what I am talking about Bale said that he won't take part in a Batman movie that has a Robin in it >:(!
"

A lot of people don't want Robin I think. Anyways they could get another actor to play Batman if Robin was put in... but WHO?!

well, if Christian Bale won't be batman, then... I think that's a win for all of us...
He only plays a good Bruce Wayne.

Personally, I think Robin would just ruin the movie.
