The Dark Side of Robin 

Happy holidays for you too. Man thanks for your hard work and for all the videos. Now, that ending was very developer to me... 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Replacement Theory

you forgot about the robin in cw series ( that series has all 3 versions of Robin ) The only version of Robin i liked was nightwing because it shows us the true potential of Robin, ok he has some weakness but he is the next batman also i know Red hood would destroy nightwing ( because he doesnt holdback )

@@NektarSSJ i dont think TDK is a generic action film but i do agree that its over rated. Oh and Nightwing>Red Hood, hes just more skilled overall and has more experience in pretty much all areas.

@@theofficialmb1255 yep all the Robins were dope in their own unique ways. They all have their own backstories, (although at 1st Jason was a carbon copy of Dick but eventially they got his backstory right which involved adding him getting caught stealing the tires off the batmobile), they each have their own fighting style and 3 out of 4(Dick, Jason, Tim, not Damion) were able to bypass Robin and become successful in their own right althought to wildly differing degrees of success. Ps- i know it probably wont happen but i really wish we could get classic Tim back and have him be with Steph. Also wish we could get Damion and young Jon back as Super Sons because that book was a ton of fun. Im probably in the minority on this 1 but even though i rlly do like Dick with Babs, Id rather see him with Starfire.

I mean, can you blame him? What boy wants to wear a speedo in public?

@@ehmwhywoah woah woah that was Dick’s decision

​@@ehmwhy Dick digs his digs. Wanting to show off his thighs is the canonical reason he chose to keep his circus look for his costume lol until he later he rationalizes that it makes criminals underestimate him, making them drop their guard more often or focus on him while Bats is sneaking around.

Is this like, an actual quote or something?

“Yes you did, stop lying…”

Agreed, I like Dark Victory more

Agreed I barley see anybody talk about it despite it being pretty good. Maybe not as a amazing as The Long Halloween story but still is a great follow up sequel that grows Batman to becoming a father and his relationship with Robin is excellent and really heartwarming despite it surrounding a grizzly new serial killer mystery. Dark Victory has to be one of most underrated Batman stories if you ask me

Robin can be an amazing character and has been many many times; all depends on the writers

Very interesting point of view I’ve never thought of it like that I think to some extent I do too

batman: dick clearer version of what batman was meant to be jason is willing to do what batman can't do when the world needs it tim has strategic sense i envy i have never seen him move too early

I like robin more than Batman, fr

Tim Drake means more to me than Bruce Wayne ever will.

The new 52 us rubbish and pretty much killed dc comics.

New 52 and zack snyder and nolans batman are trash interpretations cause they never want to embrace batmans middle years of taking on side kicks and the greater dc universe such as supernatural and meta humans constantly keeping batman grounded in heavy armors

​@@zemox2534new 52 was a huge financial success for DC and it had quite a few good books, i only really loved Batman, Aquaman, & Green Lantern personally though. DC had Rebirth around 2016 which fixed alot of issues ppl had from New 52 and Rebirth was everything New 52 shouldve been imo, because nearly every book that came out was interesting.

​@tyronleung5276 imagine thinking the Nolan Trilogy was not the best version of Batman.

@@CousinBowling It's far from it.

Batman lives in a world of meta humans gods and monsters most his rogues are monster men giants whos henchmen to a insane asylum psychiatrist who commits crimes while trying to get into the psychology of career criminals, a vampire in his early books not even counting dracula in a non canon comic a zombie who's been active in gotham long before batman was a thing when a nigga in a red and green suit using a magical ring to fight crime who's weakness is wood this zombie nigga is litterally in the long halloween movies adapt into grounded realism harvey dent hangs out with and batman gives him a plate of food, a latino luchadore nigga with a super soilder steroid drug that makes him captian america that's hulk sized temporarily with the intellect to figure who batman really is under the mask by looking at his jaw line and following him home to soften bats up to throw hands, a shape-shifting werebat man, men and women who can change into clay golems, in the possible future of the dc universe has a radioactive skeleton man a guy with a freeze gun who's evolved and adapted to being a cryomancer living in below zero temperature a were crocodile cannibal man who has the abilities of a alligator or crocodile a failed comedian ex gangster or former mantle criminal identity turned into clown with two other people that has the same consciousness who has a family out there he thought died in an accident but were still alive cheated on his wife for a stalker psychiatrist who fell in love with his b.s. sob story and puts up with his abusive relationship and she goes full lesbian at the last minute because he wanted to carve her face off that one time who purchases weapons of mass destruction from a african country and beat the system several times without getting the death penalty or sent to a serious max penitentiary where he can never escape, a deformed penguin man, a plant woman who can control man sized carniverous plants an occult preacher or a professor who studies fear and phobias with the power to make a dude hallucinate his worst fears and some Alice and wonderland gimmick characters an immortal arab who's an echo terrorist and runs a weeabo ninja clan with a magical pit that can ressurect the dead

The funny thing not one movie was a realistic take on Batman. The directors only used that word to hide the fact they didn't know ow to make a decent Batman film. Good movies but terrible Batman films.

@@gohanson27👍

⁠@@gohanson27 Agreed. The realism response is always coming from people who either don’t understand or refuse to actually think logically how those elements like Robin could fit in a story’s world. If you were truly heavy on the realism, then you probably shouldn’t start with a character that dresses as a mammal and nonlethally beats up criminals.

@@Im.myfuture 100% agree

Thank you and please, call me Sal :)

@@SalazarKnight 😂 oh ok I will do, Thanks Sal 😊

This. When salazar said that robin can't work in a more grounded environment. I'm all like, dude, there's been some comics with robin that go dark. Outside of jason and damian, of course. I get that if you put your story in a grounded reality and your robin is a child, it does raise some questions. But it's been done. Unless I'm wrong? I wouldn't mind someone correcting me on this.

Not even 13 make him an 8 year old

😊👍… and by Batman helping him get justice early on Dick was able to recover and maintain some of that innocence… or at least some of his heart. I think also if Dick is brought into the movies they need to focus on Batman’s world through Dick’s eyes ( letting the audience see it from that perspective to). For Batman what he does is a mission… it’s all about the mission. For Dick it’s an amazing adventure . Batman see’s a giant underground cavern from whence he works… Dick’s sees a “Batcave” filled with wonderous equipment. Batman sees a high-tech weaponized car.. Dick sees the “Batmobile” As said in the video Dick could cause even Bruce to see his world in a new way. That it is not all about the night and dark vengeance … that there is also light…and justice.

Thank you so much! And Happy Holidays for you too!

And I'm very happy that you're still here :)

Sounds like an interesting and quite ambitious idea! I'll thinkg about it. In the meantime, I did talk a little bit about Gotham's history in my Gotham Nights video from a few years back.

@@SalazarKnight that’s great. I will check out the Gotham nights video. Thank you

Thank you!

They stated he became Robin in grade 6 in the DCAU

The titans series was ass

I thought about him, but he was originally created for TV. That said, Burt is still the most comic accurate version of Robin in live action so far!

@@bibbyboxx2219 Ha! Good quote.

Robin is actually pope people sleep on him! Acrobatic and can actually fight thanks to Batman helping he grow and learn, through time, but i think it's really time for us to see a New live action movie version of him, abd not just on a TV show! A young robin fuckin shit up as a kid along side batman Ben Affleck, or somebody, kicking ass jumping around and flipping haha robin is a good fighter

RU-vid has been my hobby for the last 6 years. However, this year it started growing and hopefully I can turn it into a job soon :) The other two questions are hard because I don't really like the idea of "Batman's opposites" and a Watchmen video is kind of off-topic and it might not perform well. But thanks for writing man and Happy Bat-Mas to you too!!

Because he wouldn't

It's very close between Denny O'Neil and Steve Englehart.

Nope.

John Blake ain't robin that's a trash character and nolan is a hack for not embracing the supernatural and metahuman aspect of the batman franchise cause they always stick to the adam west cast of villains
