However, there is now hope that The Brave and the Bold could finally deliver the live-action Robin that fans have been waiting for.When we last left the Caped Crusader, he learned the not very comic booky lesson of moral ambiguity. Considering how accurate the DCU is to DC's comics, Carrie Kelley would have been the first truly authentic cinematic Robin if Zack Snyder's planned Batman and Justice League films made it to the big screen. The DCU's Dick Grayson was murdered by The Joker before Ben Affleck's first Batman outing, but the franchise acknowledges Robin's importance by having his death directly contribute to Batman's near-turn to villainy in Dawn of Justice. The 60s Batman TV series included Robin in every episode, depicting him as both Batman's adopted son and a highly capable crime-fighter. There were only two cinematic iterations of Batman that truly understood Robin's role in the Batman mythos since the excellently-written Drake Winston Robin of the Tim Burton universe has only appeared in comics thus far. Joel Schumacher's Batman films were well-intentioned, but Chris O'Donnell's age in both movies made Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson's father-son dynamic impossible to properly depict. This isn't the case in the comics, which featured Robin as Batman's partner for most of his history along with Batgirl, characterizing Bruce Wayne as eager to take protégés under his wing, whether they're his adopted child or simply a young potential crime-fighter. Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan were vocally uninterested in including Robin in their films, feeling that Batman is more of a loner. The reason for this seems to be that most filmmakers misunderstand Robin's role in Batman's supporting cast. For such an important character from the Batman comics, it's unfortunate that Robin is so rarely included in Batman films and seldom depicted correctly.
