Marlon Wayans speaks on being cast as Robin

[Roid Jones]

shytty fan manip of burtons proposed Batman III

Film would have been

So dudes are really using G.I Joe as a case for Marlon

 

[R=G]

That would of been a disaster...

 

[Mowgli]

Thats back when Marlon was schmoozing with fakkit hollywood producers and was making a name for himself as the go too sidekick c00n in films.

robin is a gay character

The studio desperately wanted Robin to appear in the film. He was originally supposed to appear in the original film, though Burton and Hamm convinced Warner Bros. otherwise. Daniel Waters found writing the character very hard, because “Tim and I personally hate him, he’s just the most worthless character in the world, especially with Tim’s conception of Batman as the loner of loners.” Waters had visioned Robin as the leader of a street gang before he was written as an African American, to which he forms a “hard-edged” relationship with Batman. Waters and Burton argued that there were too many characters in the script and then visioned another version of the character. He was then written as an intelligent African-American working in an autoshop garage. He was to supposed to fix the Batmobile after Penguin wrecks it. Waters quoted that the costume was to be “an old-fashioned garage mechanic uniform and it just has an ‘R’ on it.” There was also to be a scene where he drives the Batmobile in the same manner he does in Forever. Marlon Wayans was cast in the role and was even paid with a contract of two films. He was initially cast in the role for Batman Forever but Wayans later said, “They decided they wanted somebody white,” which would turn out to be Chris O’Donnell. Wayans feels, “they [the writers of Batman Forever] ripped me off! They didn’t even give me free popcorn for that!” Wayans was paid for both films without having to do any acting.

at the very least, he would've been on par with chris o'donnell.

@ that blurb having to specify that marlon would be playing an "african american" though.. an "intelligent" one to boot!

 

[Bigbigguy]

You guys think that they would've made robin black in the comics permanently if they went with this?

Maybe but they would have eventually killed him off

 

[Born2BKing]

I had forgotten about that... but one quality role in a 20 year career?

Im not having it... he doesnt qualify as a good actor based on one movie.

Co-sign, and I like Marlon but damn if Requiem for a Dream isn't the most overrated flick on here and the it was on the Hamster too. Yeah we get it, Marlon did good in it, stop acting like the shyt is a legendary flick or some shyt.

I cant picture Marlon in the Batman franchise, but i would love to see him and his family link up and do a superhero spoof type flick. But only if everyone is on board. Cuz it seems like Damon doesnt get involved in any of their projects.

 

[Roman Brady]

this sounds like ducktales, tim burton is a known racist that seldom works with the blax.How is your whole sctick going to be about an outsider in a fictional fantasy setting yet everyone including the protagonist manages to be pale lily white

 

[Just like bruddas]

Marlon would've done a good jog IMO. The times he's had serious roles he did well.
