Gentlemen, you may be wondering why I've called you here today.

From the Bat-Friending Meme thru which I know some of you, and general chatter across the Internet, we all know that Robin isn't the first choice for importation into the Nolanverse, with even Christian Bale saying I would rather have rabid ferrels dropped into my pantaloons then film a scene with a little boy in sparkly green panties calling me 'sir' (paraphrased).

On the other hand, several have said that Batman needs a Robin and Robin is an integral part of the mythos, with the fact that many of them ship Bruce/Robin pairings and think Dick Grayson is "hotness in pixie shoes" (paraphrased) being totally coincidental.

What's the solution? I think that should be obvious.

WENDY WATSON!ROBIN.





You say Robin is the light to Batman's darkness? Check this shit out:



Batman: My parents are deeead!



Wendy Watson: (in SEKRIT IDENTITY with mild-mannered glasses!) Cheer up, it can't be all that bad!



Batman: LOL kay! (paraphrased)

Burn on Batgirl! The only thing she did better than Wendy Watson was get paralyzed and turn evil.

You know...Oracle would make a good supervillain if she were to go that route.

...it might help if I knew who Wendy Watson was. A quick googling identifies here as an English cricket player. Somehow, I don't think that's who you're talking about.

She's basically the Companion to the Middleman's Doctor. So she has experience being a sidekick, although the Middleman is a much better boss than Batman.

Also, she looks endlessly cute in a buttondown shirt and tie.
