A not-insignificant number of fans will put on their grimdark Serious Business uniforms and decry the very existence of Robin as silly and detracting from Batman. These fans are welcome to get in line for the feeding trough as <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/zack-snyder\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Zack Snyder;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Zack Snyder<\/a> pours his next batch of cinematic gruel down their gullets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Robin is an essential part of Batman\u2019s story and a character that is necessary to explore the character of Bruce Wayne and what his real goals are in being a caped crusader. Without Robin, Batman can only lean into darkness and solitude even more. The ending of <em>The Batman<\/em> features one of the most powerful scenes in the character\u2019s film history; as he comforts a frightened child about to be airlifted out of a flooded Gotham City, the voiceover tells us that Bruce realizes Batman can\u2019t be a symbol of fear and vengeance. Batman needs to represent hope and needs to inspire that in others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That\u2019s why Robin matters so much to the trajectory of this Batman story. <em>The Batman: Part II<\/em> has a great opportunity to show Bruce growing even more into that symbol of hope through the eyes of a younger character. And everyone online with a modicum of Bat-knowledge already knows where this should be heading.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>Jason Todd Lives<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/IBtavLTT5RkxByQqoR5Kqg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/0511225d862e0e37b18a1a9958ac663b\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the comics, Jason Todd was the second Robin after Dick Grayson grew up and left to become a solo vigilante, Nightwing. The story in the comics has Batman discovering Jason as he\u2019s trying to steal the wheels off the Batmobile. Jason is not some kid mourning the tragic loss of dead parents like Bruce and Dick. He\u2019s just a kid from the streets that Batman decides has moxie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jason Todd makes all the sense in the world to be the cinematic Robin in <em>The Batman: Part II<\/em>. No need to even have a Dick Grayson character in that iteration. Having Batman take on a street kid would create a thematic mirror with the last story we saw set in this universe, <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/the-penguin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Penguin;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">The Penguin<\/a><\/em>. And where that story went, <em>The Batman: Part II<\/em> can find a more hopeful ending with its young protege character.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Look, I love Batman and that means I love Robin as well. It\u2019s a character that deserves another big screen shot and not in some coy way like <em>The Dark Knight Rises<\/em>. I\u2019m not looking forward to all the rumors we\u2019re about to be flooded with in regards to <em>The Batman: Part II<\/em>, but when it comes to this one, I\u2019m hoping it\u2019s right on the money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Batman: Part II is finally heading towards production.
