If they go with Jason or Drake, instead of Grayson, Robin could be cool. Grayson was the reason Robin was shit.

They wont do Robin. Both Nolan and Bale have stated they will walk off if Robins in it, and if it doesnt have those guys no one will count it in this series no matter how they try and tie it together.

I dont know about the robins ones so I cant comment on those. Batman comics I always wanted to read but I didnt like the art so couldnt read them.

I heard the Riddler/Robin thing on Nova today. I think my specific reaction was 'Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!'

I dont even think that went through my head, I suspect I was more... stunned then anything. Then I got my wits back and realized it for what it was.

I nearly had a heart attack when I heard the words Robin and LeBeouf in the same sentence. That is possibly the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I think I would actually boycott the rest of the movies if that happened.

Oh. My. God. Apparently the Eddie Murphy stuff is REAL. And the Rachel Weisz has been mentioned a lot too. I am starting to freak out.

gormand December 22 2008, 03:56:40 UTC

I am 95% sure the Eddie Murphey stuff is crap, mainly due to the fact that the same guy who started that story also started the LeBeouf Robin thing.
Best site to confirm this stuff seems to be
http://www.batman-on-film.com/batmovienews.html

They have stated that the LeBeouf and Murphy stuff is crap but the Rachel Weisz is a real possibility.

However IF its true (Thats a really big if) after Heath Ledger as Joker I am willing to trust Nolan in his casting. Seriously I thought Ledger was going to SUCK but damn if he didn't steal that movie.

Either way where did you get your info? Just so I have more sources.

Have you seen this? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article2048300.ece

It's enough that a lot of people on my flist are convinced. And it doesn't mention Shia of doom.

gormand December 22 2008, 04:26:08 UTC

Umm it does mention Shia (4th para)
Execs have also signed up rising Transformers star SHIA LABEOUF, 22, to play Robin.

Thats the article that started it all. But there is so many problems with the article that its hard to take it seriously. The latest official news is basically Chris Nolan and David Goyer are working on a story (Not even a script). That was said by Nolan the day after that article came out.

As I said, I am confident in the no Murphy in batman.
