No problem. And desperate was probably the wrong word. The thing is when arguing with fans you get the sense that whatever you say never matters, because they want that character to get a movie, so it's escalates quickly because I think there's a sense if you win it accomplishes the wish somehow. Even if you're just arguing why it's unlikely, they argue as if they can prove it has to happen. Or at least I get that sense. I hate that.
Also, it's less that I'm not a fan of Robin and more that I have become more of a Dick Grayson hater. His fans are just so numerous here that I've come to dislike him. Any other Robin but Dick please... except maybe Damian.
I think Robin will happen eventually - I just don't think it will be in this trilogy, and I kind of don't want it to because the solo detective Long Halloween grounded-but-differently-grounded-from-Bale take has me excited, and I don't want them to change things just to add Robin if that's not the plan.
Titans proved Robin could work but both Dick and Jason are in their twenties. Plus it leans into the child soldier angle heavily as you get the sense being Robin did neither of them any favors. So the lighthearted kid in shorts angle doesn't feel high on the list outside an animated movie.
With Pattinson, i could see them using the older Bat heroes like huntress, azrael, orpheus, onyx etc. Maybe even Katana but thats just my beware the Batman fandom showing.
Granted a Batman/Green Arrow film could be cool.

Robin was in Batman Forever and Batman and Robin
Nice for the time but those depictions have cemented that the live action versions of the character are to stay far away from that portrayal
Interesting how even Schumaker aged up Dick in those movies
Not sure why there's such an urgency to cram Robin in live action anyway they are doing a young Batman in the Reeves movies and then you already have Titans anyway
Movies are generally seen as a much bigger deal and reach an ever wider audience.
I mean if Reeves doesn't want to include Robin in future films it's better not to than force him. But we've had two cinematic Batmen since Shumacher, it's understandable that Dick fans want to see the character get some long overdue cinematic redemption if THAT's the only option they have so far.
