Zack Snyder’s Justice League
TheDC Extended Universebrought the biggest DC Comics heroes and villains to the big projection screen , and it almost had its own version ofRobin , but those plans were doomed to break down from the commencement . The DCEU began in 2013 with Zack Snyder’sMan of Steel , which set the tone for subsequent labor that would have create a affiliated universe , but the DECU did n’t succeed . While not everything in the DCEU is bad , it lacked consistency and lost the pursuit of the audience , and not even Superman ( Henry Cavill ) and Batman ( Ben Affleck ) were capable to lay aside it .
Affleck ’s version of Batman is one of the most disappointing stories in the DCEU , even though this universe skip his pedigree narrative and rather featured a fledged Bruce Wayne / Batman . The DCEU see Batman battling against Superman , forming the Justice League , and even explain the consequences oftraveling back in time inThe Flash , but he mostly worked alone . However , Zack Snyder almost changed this inJustice Leagueas he design on give Affleck ’s Batman a Robin , but as exciting as it sound , it was a programme doomed to give out .
The DCEU’s Cut Robin Plans Would’ve Been Too Complicated
Back in 2020 , Zack Snyder was ask by a lover ( viaMovieweb ) if the original Robin , Dick Grayson , was ever supposed to appear inJustice League . Snyder replied that Grayson would have still been bushed inJustice League , but Carrie Kelley would have taken over . Affleck ’s Batman did n’t have a Robin because he had one prior to the result of the DCEU , as see in the Batcave . Bruce continue Grayson ’s costume , spraying - painted by the Joker with the words “ hahah joke ’s on you Batman” . Snyder later confirmed that Grayson was kill by the Jokerbefore the events ofBatman v Superman .
Carrie Kelley made her debut in Frank Miller’sBatman : The Dark Knight Returns , where she was a 13 - year - honest-to-god schoolgirl and scout who took the mantle of Robin after saving Batman from a group of Mutant crowd member . Batman had just come out of retreat following the government ’s banning of superhero activities and Jason Todd ’s demise , so he often threatened to fire Carrie , but she continually exhibit him how skilled she is , earning her position as Batman ’s chum . Carrie is a fascinating character , but she ’s not as well - known as other version of Robin , which would have been confusing for TV audience not acquaint with the many Robins from the comics .
In addition to that , bringing Carrie Kelley to the DCEU would have ask fleshing out Dick Grayson ’s backstory for explain how Carrie would take over the role of Batman ’s sidekick , which would have also risked confusing the hearing . The DCEU ’s tint back then might have not been fitting with Carrie Kelley either , and she would have had to go through many variety for conform to in .
Why The DCEU’s Cut Robin Plans Also Had Problems For The Franchise’s Future
Carrie Kelley is signify to be a standalone Robin , which would have also bring problems for her future in the DCEU . InThe Dark Knight Returns , after the defeat of the Mutants ’ loss leader , members of the crowd accepted Batman as their new leader and became the “ Sons of Batman ” , with Batman , Robin , and Green Arrow establishing a new Batcave with the Sons to fight on at the end of the story . The Sons of Batman continued their crusade against crime , while Carrie went on to become Catgirl and Batwoman . Unfortunately , Carrie Kelley would have never worked in theDCEU , but that does n’t mean she ca n’t have her big chance in a succeeding Batman undertaking .
