100k a year or 100k over the last 15 years?

Was it a one time check? Article don’t explain shyt

All yall got it wrong. When he was 15 he paid Tim Burton to secure that role. 15 years from now he he recoup that down payment with interest, hence the 100k. Yall don't know how this shyt works?

Chris O'Donnell brought the franchise down being Robin.

Marlon dodged a bullet. They could've made him the scapegoat if he was in Batman and Robin :mjpls:

"Uhh it was a good screenplay, but they had a black guy play Robin, that's why it sucks, he's a terrible actor. They should just left him white. It's not a race thing but you see what happens when we try to please everyone. There won't ever be a good Batman movie again."

That’s strange, he wasn’t even known in ‘92
True but he was in Above the Rim and that was like 1993 or 1994.

Marlon reminds me of Chris Tucker (Dead Presidents Chris Tucker).....where if they would just focus on drama/serious movies....they'd actually win a lot of acclaim but for some reason just never stay on that path.

My hunch is that Marlon could get roles if he wanted but he'd have to compromise himself and he's not willing to do that. Guarantee his older brothers Damon, Shawn, Keenen etc , told him not to fall into those traps.
