Although Robin seems to have an
pivotal role in ruining earlier Batman movies, he's still an integral part of the Batman
series.
Is there a reason why Robin does not appear in Batman
Begins/The Dark Knight/Dark Knight Rises?
It's a
matter of the director having a specific vision of how his Batman stories will become.
In the first two films, Christopher Nolan wanted to bring Batman back to his roots,
explore how Bruce Wayne became Batman, and how Batman became the legend he is (in the
1989 Batman film, when Vicki Vale asks Bruce why bats, he replies "They're great
survivors"; in Batman Forever, we get a VERY brief glimpse of bats on Bruce's mind.
That's all the motivation we get). Batman Begins was very much an origin story, showing
also the training Bruce took to become Batman. The Dark Knight follows soon after that
story, as the ending of Batman Begins sets up The Joker to enter the
story.
The thing is, I tried looking up the
reason, and I can't yet find any quotes online from Christopher Nolan (see
article here for an expanded story on this). The next film, The Dark Knight
Rises, supposedly takes place 8 years after The Dark Knight. It also features Bane, a
character who became notorious for eventually
back. It's entirely conceivable that Nolan will include Robin in this film as
his protege who can help him fight Bane. Nobody outside the film set really knows. Me,
I'm looking forward to finding out in 2012.
