Harry Potter Star Daniel Radcliffe Wants to Play Robin Opposite Ben Affleck's Batman

[tzimize]

Daniel Radcliffe is not a very good actor. I love Harry Potter, both books and movies, but of the 3 main characters I think Rupert Grint did the best job and even he wasn't that convincing.

Adding Robin to the B vs S movie would be a mistake in my opinion whoever plays him. the movie should focus on the prime characters and not try to overload of characters just for the sake of introing them.

We're like 1000 characters too late for that.
Already has Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Lex Luthor, Aquaman, Lois Lane, Martha Kent, Alfred, Perry White....
They're just throwing everything at this and hoping something sticks.
Might as well throw in Harry Potter too.

Aside from Wonder Woman, who they MAY have cast perfectly (if she can build some decent muscle and act), this whole movie is nothing but one massive string of mistakes...

Yeah, I'm worried about that too. DC lacks vision.

i dont know why but the first thing that comes to mind about this for me is

"fuck off grasshopper"

I say yeah, good luck to him.
We will be having a Robin eventually so if there is a stand alone Batman film in 2019 I would say Radcliffe is a good choice. I don't want to see a teenage Robin, I want to see a young man that Batman needs to help direct his rage, be the father figure that he never had, I thought that was the whole point?

Think about it, why is that none comic book fans have such a problem with Robin yet are pretty much cool with Nightwing despite it being the same person? Its the Kid aspect. Seeing some kid jumping about taking out bad guys with backflips and crap de-powers Batman, his size and psychical peak and intimidating figure suddenly mean nothing when some kid is doing his job as efficiently as he is.

My initial reaction is that maybe he'll be a little too old. But then again look how young they have Lex Luthor in this movieverse. Radcliffe's a good actor and he looks the part so why not?

So we could have a really young Lex Luthor, and a really old Robin.

Since most people have already written this movie off I say go for it. Give us a movie experience we will never forget.

I think if were getting an older more experienced Batman in Dawn of Justice, I'd like Dick Grayson to be Nightwing already..his past of Robin referenced and maybe a few flash backs.

as for Radcliffe..I don't know...I'm actually annoyed Joseph-Gordon Levitt was that Cop in TDRK, I'd have taken him as Dick Grayson.

Yeah, of course an older Robin also makes sense as Batman is supposed to be a grizzled Ben Affleck-aged veteran by the time the movies pick up on him this time.

Am I the only one that wonders wtf the picture in the article is? It looks like he is humping the back of the skull of a man wearing a cyberpunk elephant mask.

Or maybe it doesn't and I've lost my mind ._.

I think it's from the same play where he was nude on stage so maybe humping wasn't out of the question. I hear the play itself was quite a hit with fangirls for his generous euh...talent.

Radcliffe as Robin? I could see it work in all honesty and I reckon the guy's gotta be a decent actor to have not flopped at the west end and the unforgiving theater world. If we need the boy wonder in a batman film, one could do far worst imo.

No..keep Robin away from mainstream movies. I don't want another Batman & Robin to happen.

Robin/Nightwing only works well in animated movies.

If Radcliffe becomes the next Robin, can this lead to him being Nightwing? Because, if so, I'm all for that...

Now that you mention it he'd make an amazing Nightwing.

I'm torn on this one. On one hand, I'd really like to see him pull this off (I haven't seen anything he's been in recently, and I'd like to change that), but on the other hand, I'm not sure this iteration of DC movies is the right choice for him. Considering how dark the Nolan movies have been, I'd rather see him in something that has more levity, rather than the Bat-Grump and his Grumpy friends.

I can think of worse people to play Robin.
