Not sure what you mean by "recontextualizing", I just know that for live action there's a certain range of tones/styles/whatever that Robin works in, and those he doesn't. And I think DCEU fits into that more naturally than the way things look to be in The Batman. So personally I'd just rather he be in the more natural fitting universe. I do think it's a bit of a fan list thing instead of the importance to the overall mythos and character thing because this isn't the 90s/00s any more - we have multiple versions of Batman on film now between the DCEU and The Batman, multiple TV continuities with Batwoman and Titans, and multiple cartoons with Young Justice/Harley Quinn/Teen Titans Go/etc, and the videogames. The importance to the overall mythos and character is much less important to any one singular take because there's another take that's already got it covered. No one continuity really needs to have everything, at least not with Batman. So I think some versions should do the Batfamily, and some versions shouldn't. So I guess I'm just interested in how it will all play out over the different interpretations we're getting.
