Ron Paul Revere:I submitted this with a better headline making fun of the homoerotic article.

/bad subby, don't vote for your own submissions

Speaking as the subby, I did not vote for it. You took away genuine credit, you monster!

Ever notice that Shia LaBeouf's name sounds like a Street Fighter special move?

I think Robin could work in one sense, and that is to make him independent. Don't make him Batman's apprentice, but make him someone who sort of parallel's Batman, who wants to do what Batman does, and does it on his own. Occassionally though would then work together.

But you'd have to strip him of all his sidekick personality traits and alot of his basic character, at which point it wouldn't really be Robin, it's just be a different character who happens to be named Robin.

BrIcK908:DamnYankees:it's just be a different character

Nighthawk. FTFY

I think we need some Starfox.

Sounds like you're describing this guy.

I skimmed the headline, saw "Robin" and "Nolan" in it, and expected to see:

To be honest, I didn't think that Nolan could pull off using The Scarecrow as a viable villain, and yet he pulled it off. At this point, I'm going to take a "wait and see" approach, because I really like what he's does with the franchise.

Batman has never been just about being a brooding loner. He's always had back up, he's always had fellow travelers, between the side-kicks who become allies, to fellow vigilantes like the Green Arrow and others, and of course, the rivalry and one upsmanship with Superman.

If anything, the Robin storylines are often about the consequences of his brand of justice, and that was driven home by Frank Miller beautifully. The same way that Miller made Daredevil into a viable character with the introduction of Elektra, and killing her, and her return in his one shot graphic novel was amazing. And Nolan has internalized a lot of what Miller brought to the franchise. That there are folks who are making comic book films now, who actually read the books and like them--unlike say, Tim Burton who couldn't be bothered--is a huge boon for the industry and for the fans.

I'll reserve judgment until I see what he does, because he's earned that at this point.

Ron Paul Revere:Ron Paul Revere:also admits your headline is more likely to get approval

Aw goddamnit.

/my headline was still funnier, Robsul
//just got #250 though, so I'm happy

When submitting links for the Showbiz tag, ALWAYS throw in Shiat LaDouche jokes at every opportunity, my friend.

Jim Morrison's Corpse:Nolan has gone on record and said that as long as he is in control of the franchise, you won't see Robin.

Thank god.

gourmet_emu:Personally I agree that they shouldn't ever add Robin.

I could live with that.
