The Official Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Movie Thread

[MartyMcFly]

Burt Ward's Robin was exactly right for the time that he was in. No one criticizes that depiction of Robin as being "done badly".
And all of Schumacher's movies were mediocre but that had nothing to do with the inclusion of Robin.
What I am saying is that there have been 3 feature film versions of Batman so far: the 1966 film, the Burtonverse and the Nolanverse...2 of them have had a Robin.

Nolan's choice to not include Robin had nothing to do with how badly the previous ones were done but was just his own personal opinion on the type of character Batman was.

You were making it seem like there was some consensus opinion that every depiction of Robin sucked and as a result no one wanted to touch the character out of fear of failing at bringing Robin to the big screen which is not true in any way shape or form.

JGL was Robin

And also the another point where I said "this movie....this movie" and I couldn't wait to leave the theater

RUMOR: Jena Malone's BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Role Finally Revealed

Spoiler

When it was revealed that Jena Malone had been cast in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (a role she dyed her hair red for), fans immediately began speculating that she would be playing Carrie Kelly. After all, this movie is taking inspiration from Frank Miller's classic The Dark Knight Returns, so that theory made at least some sense. Then, The Hollywood Reporter weighed in by indicating that they had heard that was indeed the role The Hunger Games star had been chosen for.

Maybe not! According to Latino-Review, Malone has actually been cast as Barbara Gordon, a character better know to us all as either Batgirl or Oracle! They're not sure what exactly her role inBatman v Superman will be, but Snyder could really go either way with the character here.

Malone always seemed a bit old for Carrie, and Barbara - another redhead - seems like a much better fit overall. The movie could portray her as Batgirl, Oracle, or perhaps most likely in a flashback to The Joker shooting her presumably at the same time we see the Clown Prince of Crime murdering Robin (who will apparently be played by Zack Snyder's son). We'll have to wait and see, but which version of Barbara would you most like to see her as? As always, let us know below!

Burt Ward's Robin is not heralded as anyone besides the guy standing next to Adam West who said Holy guacamole Batman! or some other stupid shyt. He's a big 0, indifference is the best thing you can say. lol @ he was 'exactly right' for the time. If they put him in Bats vs Supes no one would like it. Would you? Please let me know. And if you lean on 'times have changed' yer admitting he is now corny.
Batman and Robin is now a mediocre movie not a shytty movie?! That's an interesting opinion. I just happen to disagree it sucked, Robin included.
And that's what I'm saying, what Nolan's take is on Batman in regards to Robin is what works best, Batman standing next to a boy or girl character named Robin is not the hype shyt.
I believe the consensus opinion is Batman is preferred dolo. You can right good stories with Robin but it's not easy on film so why bother? No one is missing Robin in movies.

What part of "for the time" don't you understand? If you put Adam West's Batman in any of the other Bat films he'd be a bad fit too. Or does that mean West's Batman is trash?
You can't take these interpretations out of their time period and plunk them down in films that are tonally different and then ask the question of whether they would work in a modern film or not.

Adam West was funny. Although his delivery was deadpan he played an obviously comedic Batman. Which I liked then and I like now. Robin on the other hand saying Holy Shytstain Batman! was wack then and it's wack now.
I think I just did. You not liking it and refusing to answer the query is another thing.

You're old enough to know that that version of Robin was wack in 66

Yeah they had these things called reruns especially of children's programming and they replayed the TV show and movie throughout my childhood that took place in the 80s.
