It’s also believed that Matt Reeves’The Batman Part IImight introduce a take on Robin, a film which exists in the DCU’s Elseworlds timeline.
Regardless of the project, DC fans have actively taken to discussing their Robin casting picks.
We’re still awaiting that Superman trailer, but Marvel has granted fans their first look at Thunderbolts*. Take a look below.
“If this was a few years back, I’d happily give a vote to Ryan Potter. While he wound up getting picked up for theTitansseries as Gar, he had campaigned for a shot at Robin while Affleck was still Bats. At this point though, he’s aged out,”wroteReddit user OldSnazzyHats.

Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard also popped up as a possible option, as did actor Jacob Tremblay who voiced the character in the animatedHarley QuinnTV series.
Others simply suggested that anyone “young and unknown” would fit the bill.
Many questioned whether Robert Pattinson’s take on Batman is ‘old enough’ to justify having a sidekick in the form of Robin.
I have to say, I find it much harder to envision Robin fitting into that world compared to something tailor-made likeThe Brave and the Bold.
