Yeah, I agree with Jack-Ups. Also, he may have been misleading us or joking around when he said that!

While he might look the part a little, I take no stock in this. This isn't even rumor to me. It is completely false.

He's not the worst person ever they could cast for Nightwing (it could be like a Michael Keaton or even worse:George Clooney Batman kinda Nightwing).

It's not happening, but it actually wouldn't be that bad. He was great as Peter Petrelli, & given the proper motivation could beat the hell outa Chris O'Donnel..... then again, so could Duncan, & Ward.

My favorite Robot Chicken episode is the one where Schumacher gets killed at ComiCon. I recorded it, & rewound it over & over again!

Everyone can beat the hell outa O'Donnel. [shadow=red,left,300]I actually think Chris O’donnel would’ve made a fantastic Robin (and an even better Nightwing) - given the right script. The dude is awesome. Oh, and by putting Nightwing before Robin makes no sense to me. I can’t imagine it happening either. You’d have to be a comic book fan to know who Nightwing is, and half of the Batman audience are people who have never picked up a comic book in their life. Robin however is such an iconic character they’d have to put him in a Batman film eventually. -The Shadow[/shadow]

don't shoot me, but I even thought Clooney did a decent job as Batman, it was just the horrific script and directing that let that movie down. all the fans seem to focus their hatred on Clooney, when it should be directed at the scriptwriters and director, IMO.

I agree 100%. I've always thought, anybody could play the role, given the right script

But you know I have nothing against Clooney..but my opinion was that he made a GREAT Bruce Wayne..hell the guy IS Bruce Wayne...but not the best Batman....I always felt like they should have two different actors do each role...to represent the two seperate personalities. I'm weird, though. I think Val Kilmer did a great Batman..horrible Bruce. Clooney good Bruce, horrible Batman. just my two cents

I disagree with the first part, I never read the comics and I know who Nightwing is because of TNBA and JL/JLU as far the second part... Amen brother! ;D

Clooney admitted in a few interviews that 1) He played the character gay because there was no way else to approach it 2) "i've ruined the franchise!"

^ in that case can I claim to have seen it 20 times in the theatre back in '97?
I agree with Matt, & MuksC, I thought Clooney was cast perfectly. He was who I saw as Bruce Wayne back in the 90's. He was a terrible looking & acting Batman however, but I don't think it was Clooney's fault. The costume was horrible & the script was even worse, I still find it hard to believe that Akiva Goldsman is an Oscar winning Screenwriter.

as far as Robin being in one of the new Bale movies, Christian has said he doesn't ever want to have someone playing Robin opposite him in his Batman movies (watch the videoclip): Clickawesome! I hope they listen to him and keep the new trilogy purely about Batman.

Clooney can act. I am not denying that. But he did a terrible job in B&R. I didn't care for his Bruce Wayne and I absolutely detested his Batman.

Yes, I say Clooney can act too. But still his Bruce Wayne AND Batman was bad. I say Val Kilmer did the best on both! But then a gain, everyone has an opinion!

WOAH WOAH WOAH! that clip has actually annoyed me now, as much as I love Bale as bats and ;love the fact that he is reading the comics and all, 1)stop telling people its grittier than other film when the Burton film outweigh it by tons in that department, and also ROBIN IS NOT THE WORSE THING TO HAPPEN TO BATMAN! GOD BALE TO YA RESEARCH! The type of father relationship he plays, seeing this boy so much like himself in which batman has alot of emotion in , is a very important part of batman!and is very important and has spurred some of the best story's! God give that man a copy of Dark Victory Now!

God give that man a copy of Dark Victory Now! I haven't clicked on that link, but I don't think I'd like what I hear seeing your reaction. This guy while the best Batman, needs to do more research. Yes, in the past, Robin has made Batman less mean and gritty, and even campy, but this happens if it's not handled right. Robin can work with Batman but not make him less dark. They have that father-son relation and both have a common bond: their parents were both taken from them because of crime. Bale, get a copy of Dark Victory right now!

he didn't say Robin was the worst thing to happen to Batman. the way they were handled and directed in the two 90's movies just made the whole thing campy and childish, and Bale has been put off by that. I'm sure he respects the role of Robin in the Batman history, and the father-son relationship they have, but he personally doesn't want to have Robin in his movies, which I can totally understand and respect.
the focus of this new franchise was supposed to be Batman, and Batman alone, more than in the previous set of movies where the villains were always the focus. Adding Robin into this mix just leads us down the same path.
as you've said, it all depends on how it's handled, and I'm sure Nolan could do a good job if he put a Robin into his movies, but Batman is only at the beginning of his own journey in these 3 movies, so I don't think it's the right time to put Robin in there too,the focus should be kept on Batman and the reasons he has for doing what he does. if Robin comes in in the next set of movies once the Bale/Nolan trilogy is complete, then that's fair enough, but I feel it's too early to put him in the first trilogy of this new-style of Batman movies.
edit: you should really watch the video, i have just watched it again.
the interviewer asks something like "could Russell Crowe be Batman?" and he replies "somehow i doubt it, I told him he could possibly be Robin though, Robin is the most humiliating character to play in Batman, i hope i never have to work opposite a Robin".
so he's not dissing Robin completely, just the movie versions, in my opinion.
