Several weeks ago, rumors circled offline once again that Robin would appear in the sequel to The Dark Knight. It reminded me of the “rumor waves” last year when everyone in the industry suddenly discovered The Long Halloween storyline and held it up as the script to Christopher Nolan’s second Batman sequel. According to StarPulse, Christian Bale not only considers Robin lame, he has threatened to remake The Machinist as a documentary if the character crosses his path…

“If Robin crops up in one of the new Batman films, I’ll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work.”

Some fans will be blinded by a premature warm happiness after reading, “one of the new Batman films,” but Nolan has insisted this a trilogy. No matter, we are of the agreement that not only should Robin be dismissed, the word “robin” in general should be banned from this franchise. It’s not dark enough, nor does it embolden comparisons to The Godfather 2, Heat, and an “extraordinary cinematic revolution” spelled out by 400,000 lit firecrackers. Actually, that last one is worthy of Robin. We josh.

After bringing the Caped Crusader back to the big screen with Batman Begins in 2005 and now with The Dark Knight, which opens on July 18th, director Christopher Nolan is already facing questions about a third possible film. Well, so far, he’s only got one thing to say: He’s not sure about it.

That’s right, the man most credited with making Batman a viable box office franchise again is considering not returning for another installment. Reviews for Dark Knight have, so far, been overflowing with praise for the film, more commonly comparing it to classics like The Godfather Part II as opposed to Iron Man or Spider-Man 2. Of course, he hasn’t ruled out doing the movie, he’s actually said that he just hasn’t decided. Read the rest of this entry »
