Why did james gunn decide to start out either damian instead of dick. What do you think of this decision?
>>153103683He's the newest and it's different I guess. But then no Robin has been in a movie since the 90s si any Robin at all is different.
>>153103683>Why did james gunn decide to start out either damian instead of dick. What do you think of this decision?It won't be Damian. It will be Dick. Gunn knows Reeves won't do a The Batman Part 3 and that TBATB will end up being a more traditional Batman reboot, but he doesn't want to say it yet.
>>153103683I would guess that Dick will already be Nightwing in the gunnverse.
>>153103938James Gunn already said it was going to be Damian, dumbass.
>>153103683Dick hasn't been Robin in main canon in over 40 years. Many at DC want to phase him out.
The DCU is done for. They didnt even start filming Batman lmao
>>153103683Because Damian is the "boy wonder" sidekick robin, and Dick will likely just already be Nightwing/putting together or leading the Titans.
>>153103683>>153103938It's Epsteinish to have Billionaire Batman living with a bunch of orphans he groomed in to be violent street vigilantes. Atleast with Damien it's his actual biological son, so slightly less creepy.
>>153103683I don't think robin lore works well for movies and would be better used for a series. Damian in particular really doesn't work well as a Dick successor and in general has so much baggage as a character I doubt that a movie could do it justice
>>153104237Boy Wonder should only be used for Dick. That was his nickname.
Tbh you honestly need three Robins if you want to make a Batman adaptation: Dick, who will most likely be older and in his Nightwing persona, Damian, as the “current” Robin, and Jason, if you want to introduce Red Hood and/or want to introduce some more guilt on Batman for letting one of his Robins die.
>>153103683>>153104037prove it
>>153103683Damian is Gunn’s favorite. Which tells me he has bad taste and the DCU will be trash>>153104778https://youtu.be/wY8XcmrIujE?t=221
>>153104037Plans are subject to change.
>>153103683>23 year old Bruce>11 year old DamianIs this supposed to represent when they first put on the costume? Like showing what age and height they were when they first started? If not then Bruce wasn't just getting date-raped, he got statutory too
>>153104288Bruce adopting three white orphans with a public record who are, at least on record since Jason is legally dead, fine upstanding citizens is downright wholesome compared to what goes on with celeb and billionaire kids. And you overestimate how much people even pay attention to them unless they really do something out there. No one cares about the kids of the CEO of JP Morgan or exxon or any other billion dollar company. No one cares that Sylvester Stallone's son was a junkie who died of an OD , or Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal's son went to prison or whatever. Charlize Theron adopts black kids to troon them out. Liev Schreiber's kids have some creepy shit going on too. Bruce having three adopted kids, one of whom died and one of whom is gay, is a nothing burger
>>153106700yes, otherwise Dick wouldn't be younger than Damian
>>153103683According with that timeline Bruce has been Batman for almost 20 years?
>>153106882>3
>>153106882This. A lot of people here and outside of here have the most midwit observation about Bruce adopting kids and didn't think about how most people don't seem to give a fuck about most celebrity/billionaires' kids unless they cause a problemAt most maybe you have raised eyebrows over Jason dying and Bruce having a child out of wedlock with the daughter of a terrorist (is it publicly known that Damian is Talia's son?) but everyone would be distracted by some other thing in the news cycle to care long enough.Like take the events Death in the Family, if you take the story at face value with Joker becoming ambassador to Iran, would the public even care about Jason's death? No, they'd be more concerned that Joker, an ambassador, just killed people at the UN. Also did the Invasion comic take place before or after Death in the Family? I'd also say that a recent alien invasion would still be preoccupying people's minds over the death of a rich guy's adopted son.

>>153107115Adopting an asian girl is even more creepy
