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

[seriousfic]

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)

Another female Robin would be awesome, though I still think Batgirl would make more sense.

The obvious answer is to give the boy some pants and make him and Barbara Gordon be 14 and he shall think she is cute and then in the fourth movie, she will be Batgirl, and they shall have a sidekick faceoff.

And she will not be blonde.

We really do need more nerdy, dorky, geeky slutty female superheroes.

After the film was over, I actually considered whether the Nolanverse could take a Robin. I had already discarded the idea by the time I reached the door, but it's nice to know we're thinking along similar paths.
