An actual 12-15 year old who fights crime alongside Batman? I hear Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson are actually for the idea of portraying Robin again.

But the argument against is still kinda valid. It's an easy thing to buy Batman essentially drafting a child soldier in his war on crime in comics/cartoons where there's already a natural disconnect, but seeing it portrayed in live-action might still feel questionable.

Wouldn't a responsible Commissioner Gordon, when introduced to Robin be like "yo what the fuck dude?"

The real problem with robin is giving him a bright yellow cape, red outfit and no pants, well back then he had no pants I think most modern looks for him are green leggings but still his bright ass costume when their whole gimmick is striking from the shadows always raised an eyebrow, it's even worse when you count that he's gone through 4 Robins and about 5 Batgirls

Feels a bit silly to say, but 15 seems a lot more plausible than 12, if the puberty gains are blessed enough.

Yeah. I'm already going with the idea that a rich dude wants to help people, so my belief is already suspended.

Utilizing his skill, gadgets and tactics yes. But soloing a room full of grown thugs? Lol no.

As for the aspect of him drafting a child for such a dangerous career..... just don't even acknowledge it and move along. Most viewers will do the same.

Don't feel bad, I thought of How I Met Your Mother and had to think for a second before I realized he meant Dickie.

Exactly this. The biggest mistake they could make is to be ashamed of the source material and try to have it "make sense." Just do it and don't explain it.

They'd probably just put him in Tim's Post-52 costume.

Five?

So was Barbara Gordon passing out applications for the job after she became Oracle or something? Even though I know about the multiple Robins like Tim Drake and Damian Wayne, I always figured there was one Batgirl.

That poster is wrong. There's only been 3 Batgirls.

Depends on the cast and how it's portrayed, but sure. Twelve year olds aren't five year olds. Depending on when the growth spurt hits and how much physical activity they do on a regular basis, a 12 year old boy can be pretty capable.

Go through is a bit harsh.

Bab's paralysis was unrelated to her being Batgirl.
Cass mostly stepped away from the role by her own choice.
Stephanie definitely does count in the dead Robin column, but was perfectly successful in the Batgirl role and only gave it up because New 52 reset it back to Babs.

Robin, when done poorly, is a shit character.

But he can also be used as part of a general wedge into expanding the Bat family, an aspect of the Batman world that has been mostly left ignored for decades now by Hollywood.

Patrick H Willems has a pretty solid video essay on the matter above.

That was my first thought too, I've had one piece on the brain ever since the Netflix show came out and is awesome.

You see, this is why I silently want(ed) WB to greenlight more Injustice games over MK. Injustice 2 was how I learned there were more rings than just Sinestro's. Is it possible for Aksys to borrow Injustice from Netherrealm for one entry?
