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)

Really? Because Wendy and Lacey are MARRYING IT UP to the degree that were there to be a Batman/Middleman crossover, there would have to be a scene where they double-dated with Babs and Dinah.

Of course, the conversation on jerk ex-boyfriends would be awkward.

Wendy: My ex broke up with me, taped it, posted it on the Internet, and got a movie deal.

Barbara: My ex showed up at my doorstep after being brutalized and in clear need of help, so I kicked him out the next morning, leading to his eventual rape.

Wendy: ...

Dinah: Yeah, she's still a better S.O. than Ollie.
