I keep finding Robert Pattinson more than ever this year and I think all of us are going through the same. Like, I'm chilling in my couch watching some YouTube and suddenly it happens...

'Ohhh there's a new trailer of a very promising movie'

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

BOI, ARE YOU TRIPLETS (????

AND ONE IS BATMAN, THE OTHER IS A CRAZY PRIEST AND THAT ONE I DONT REMEMBER???

Sorry, I can't stop looking at his forehead, btw.

It's like I never noticed him before they said he was gonna be the Batman, and I'm not ashamed of saying that, 'cause I pretty much suck in that aspect.

I don't even remember what I had for breakfast this mornin send help

And now I have a weird syndrome that makes me NEED to watch movies of Robert Pattinson and I can't imagine anything more appropriate than Twilight, ofc.

So yeah, I'll spend half day of my life screaming at the screen somethin like 'get your shit together'. Or hoping Edward and Jacob will do something about their sexual tension and bla bla bla

What a bummer

im kidding, just watch the lighthouse, guys

Sometimes I think I would've liked to see John Blake as Robin in more than Nolan's movies. Maybe in a comic, because if Terry got his miniseries of comics after Batman Beyond animated series, then it isn't impossible. Maybe it can't happen because Christopher Nolan didn't have that in mind when he created John Blake, but guys, we can't deny the character has potential.

I mean, he found out by himself, like Tim, that Bruce was Batman. He admired the Dark Knight since he was a little kid and knowing that Bruce became what he became after the death of his parents, being John himself an orphan, motivated him. That's why he decided to be a policeman in the first place and then to make justice by his hands and quite the GCPD.

He believed in Bruce and everything that Batman represented even after the big scandal of Harvey Dent and bla bla bla, which for me is great. He went as far as to go to Wayne's manor to make Bruce wake up and face the world they were living. He's the one who pulled Bruce out of his shell after all those years.

«I figured it out too late. You got to learn to hide the anger, practice smiling in a mirror.

It's like putting on a mask»

Genius line, btw.

They don't show us too much about his past, but he had a hard childhood. Moving to a foster home till his foster parents get frustrated and sent him to an orphanage, all of this after his mother died in a car accident and his father got shot. He felt angry, but never understood. And when he met Bruce Wayne for the first time, he knew he was like him. That he understood. And that he was Batman.

In the movie this is not explain, but John said:

«Right when I saw you, I knew who you really were. I'd seen that look on your face before.

It's the same one I taught myself»

So leaves it to your own interpretation, pretty much the same Nolan does with all his movies. But still a genius line.

John actually cares about the children of Gotham, being a volunteer in his former orphanage and trying to support them in any way possible. He even knows all the names of the orphans and is happy when he learns that Bruce transformed the manor to be the Martha and Thomas Wayne home for children.

At first he is a loyal follower of the law, saying to Jim that he betrayed everything he stood for and showing himself disappointed with what Gordon did. But as the movie progresses, John begins to understand the point of view of the Commissioner, that sometimes you have to break the rules to catch the bad guys. The scene when he becomes aware that he just killed two people is underrated. Also, from the start of the film, we see that John is not exactly an obedient cop, often trying to do risky moves and things he considers necessary. He's reckless and his priorities are far away from the ones of his colleagues. He obeys his own rules.

So Blake leaves the GCPD the moment he realizes, in that bridge, that Batman is gone and Gotham has no one to protect it in a way the police couldn't. He takes the responsibility that Bruce left him.

«You know what you said about structures becoming shackles?

You were right, and I can't take it, the injustice»

That's a character development I enjoyed. Wtf all his lines are genius

John has a lot of things that makes me remember all the other Robins. These are a few I remember.

He's an orphan, like basically half the batfam.

John knew Batman's secret identity from the beginning, like Tim.

He's a person motivated by his past, the anger and the desire of justice. Like everyone.

John called out Bruce on his bullshit, like all his sons do.

He has black hair (???

He killed people, oof.

He looks hella good in a suit, the most important requirement to be a bat.

He often disagrees with the law.

John admired Bruce since he was a child and grow up trying to follow his path. Tim vibes.

Well, he gives all the vibes. With Dick, specially the cop part and the 'I love kids' thing, Jason and his anger when he was a teenager and ofc Tim, cause he trained his skills to achieve a goal. I can't think of things he has in common with Damian (?

Reasons I wanted more of John Blake:

Because his official name is Robin, that's freaking cool.

Bruce trusted him with his legacy.

His story is promising. DC get a whole plot from the 'Dick get shot' thing, I'm sure they can do anything.

He would be a refreshing character, like Terry.

We didn't get the chance to see his trajectory as Robin and that's something I will regret the rest of my life.

Idk I have curiosity of what sort of story it could become. One without a Batman and a new and inexpert Robin having bittersweet adventures. Saying that Bruce is really death or not going back, which could be another reason to make it a series.

Assuming that a comic about Nolan's universe would follow the original storyline. Like Batman Beyond.

Did I already said all his lines are epic af?

The last three draws kinda look like Nightwing symbol more than Batman's

Only reason I don't want more of John Blake:

Because Christopher Nolan ended it there and he's my lord (???

But then, I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt and all the characters he plays and John "Robin" Blake is no exception.

Yeah, I did this because I was rewatching the Dark Knight Rises and it suddenly came to my mind.

I wrote it in 5 minutes I don't even know

I was thinkin, something weird coming from me, why hasn't anyone ever made an animated series of the batfam or batboys or wtv? Like, that would be fucking awesome!

You know, Bruce helping his children to fix their problems, proving that he can be a good dad and everybody spending some well deserved bonding time :"c

Maybe Bruce and Jason dealing with their pasts and relationship, Damian getting FINALLY a good character development, Tim sleeping (nah) and Dick being the older brother we love (???

Barbara would be there because it's Barbara, duh. And Cass, Duke and Steph could be in future seasons. Like, dude, there's a lot to get content from. Batman has a million villains!

Imagine Ra's and/or the Court of Owls trying to control Gotham -again- and the whole batboys (when Batman is off earth) making a super elaborated plan to take them down together while covering each other's backs, you know, like a real family. Dami and Jason being spies, Tim being a mastermind and Dick pretending to be the Gray Son (???

The narrative would be the same as Supersons. A person in a certain point in the future, reading stories from a book about the protagonists. But in this case, the person would be Bruce and he would look at things that he kept that makes him remember the story of what the episode is going to be about. Like a Tim's photo, Dick's sweater, Damian's trophy or Jason's gun.

We could get a glance of their daily lifes (even Jason's) and funny things that happens every day at Wayne's manor. Christmas, Halloween, Friday's movies night (ofc it was Dick's idea). Special apparitions (Clark, Conner, Jon, Roy, Kori, Wally and all their friends). And obviously an special episode dedicated to Alfred Pennyworth!

The best part is that it would totally ignore the shitty things in canon and act without restraints and with its own style, like Batman: the animated series. Treating serious topics but with a hint of humour.

I would literally kill someone to have this become real. So if you watch the news tomorrow and I appear there, it's all Bendis fault.

Hail Tomasi, idk

[titusbias]

So, Damian's not in Gotham Knights, would someone explain to me the timeline or why tf is no demon brat in Arkham universe?

I could search it, but nah
