A question for those who have seen "Batman Begins."
Great movie, by the way.

My theory is that the little boy in the red shirt (the big Batman fan) that Rachel saves will grow up to be Robin. Anybody else think this when they saw the film?

1. Speaking of Robin
A live action Teen Titans movie would be awesome...but I'm sure Hollywood would screw that up.

2. I didn't think Robin was supposed to be THAT much younger than Batman
But who knows? :shrug:

4. You figure, Robin was a teenager when Bruce Wayne
was roughly in his 30's- i think it's possible.

6. I'm hoping they leave Robin out of this revisit of the series
Nolan did such a great job keeping Batman grounded in realism (as much as a comic book-based movie can be, anyway) and I think these movies work better when less characters are introduced.

7. I was amazed at how everything was given a rational explanation:
From the origins of the Batman persona, the suit, and even the development of future villains (escaped mental patients with a penchant for dramatic flair, huh? :)). I think if he does add Robin to the franchise in the future, it could work.

8. I thought so, too.
It was an interesting movie. Wasn't sure about the casting of Christian Bale, but it worked perfectly.

I defintely hope that Katie "I'm going to be the 3rd Mrs. Tom Cruise, tee hee!" Holmes will NOT be back for the second film. She easily was the worst part of the film.
