In fact, it’s possible to have multiple Robins in the same movie. I got so hyped talking about the Robins in that previous section that I realized we don’t really have to compromise with which Robins appear in a Batman. (Image credit: DC Comics) A Movie With Multiple Robins Has Such Potential And yet, even the upcoming Gotham Knights series went and found ways to put other characters over them as leads, which is truly surprising. He’d be an invaluable resource to Batman and put in the work despite being a replacement to the OG Robin Dick Grayson. Tim Drake doesn’t give love in live-action either, despite being one of the smartest Robins out there. Given the amount of attention Batman gets from Hollywood, it’s wild to think no one has attempted to bring his story to the big screen and show Batman’s trials and triumphs as a father. The modern iteration of Batman’s son has been around since 2006, meaning it's been 15 years since his creation. I think the story I’m most shocked that hasn’t made it to the big screen is anything involving Damian Wayne. Superman could have shown Jason Todd’s savage death at the hands of Joker, but that would hardly make for a story that utilized a Robin in a meaningful way. Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Jason Todd, and Damien Wayne are all Robins that could have an entire movie set around them, and it’s a shame we haven’t seen more attempts to incorporate them in cinema. The great thing about the Robins is that each Robin has their own thing going on. Sure, he’s the OG, and arguably the most successful of the Robins, but is he truly the most interesting of the bunch? It’s clear there’s an interest in reinventing classic characters with a new look, which makes it all the more baffling to me that we’ve only really seen Dick Grayson appear as Robin in Batman movies. We’ve seen a few different styles of Batman, and Hollywood continues to try and reinvent The Joker after Heath Ledger’s performance in The Dark Knight.
