3) The Formation Of The Bat-Family
Given that at least one Robin exists in the DCEU, it stands to reason that other members of the Bat-family are hanging around Gotham as well – at the very least Dick Grayson (presumably as Nightwing) and Barbara Gordon (either as Batgirl or Oracle). If so, those characters really need to make an appearance in The Batman.
For too long, the movies have been obsessed with the Dark Knight as a lone ranger, when actually one of the most interesting things about the character in the comics is that he’s such a lonely man and yet has accidentally become the father of an adopted family.
We had Robin and Batgirl in Batman & Robin, of course, but that hardly counts. The LEGO Batman Movie will also have fun with those characters, though we really want to see the team taken seriously in a way that they never have been in a movie before. Batman hasn’t been a figure of fun for a long while, but to the general public, Robin and Batgirl still are. It’s about time that changed.
