Wait, Is James Gunn"s DC Universe Batman Movie Finally Delivering Justice For Robin?!

:0:0

The Batman franchise will be rebooted yet again in The Brave and the Bold, a film set in James Gunn’s DC Universe that could finally be a proper Batman and Robin movie. Robin has been an indispensable part of the Batman mythos, debuting less than a year after Batman himself. While the original Robin, Dick Grayson, is the first and most famous of Batman’s sidekicks, he has had many successors over the decades, including Bruce Wayne’s biological son, Damian Wayne. Damian will be the Robin of Gunn’s The Brave and the Bold, making it the first Batman film in over two decades to include Robin as a co-star.
In the mainstream Batman comic mythos, Bruce Wayne’s adopted son, Dick Grayson, first used the Robin mantle, followed by Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, and Damian Wayne, with Carrie Kelley being Grayson and Todd’s only successor in Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. While Batman is popularly and erroneously perceived as a loner, one of his definitive characteristics in his decades of comics is his leadership and mentorship of the various Robins. Robin, as both a mantle and an individual, is as essential to a proper Batman adaptation as Alfred Pennyworth or Commissioner Gordon.
