Robin, The...Girl Wonder?
So there has been recent rumors that the "boy" wonder, Robin, will be played by a GIRL in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie. And not just any girl, but Jena Malone! If this is true, I agree with it SO much, simply because Jena Malone would make an awesome Robin, because she is a really good actress. She was "Johanna Mason" in "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and she did an amazing job of portraying that character. However, the reason I use the word "rumor" is because she or anybody that is working on the movie has not confirmed or denied the topic at hand, but she did post a picture of herself with red hair. Why is this so important? Well because there is actually a version of batman with a female Robin. Her name is Carrie Kelly and she has red hair. The version with her in it isn't as popular as the one with Dick Grayson or Tim Drake though. Anyway, other than the red hair picture, Jena Malone has been seen on the Warner Bros. set, (the franchise that is producing the movie) sporting her new hairdo. Again I really hope this is true because she could really do the part justice.

I agree with you that she is a phenomenal actor. However, that is a huge roll in that movie and it has to be portrayed very well. People have loved batman for decades now, and it would be bad if this upcoming film was a disappointment. I think they need to find a really good man actor for the job, because they have to have the looks as well for the part.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think that she would do a better job as robin or boy wonder than a guy? I have never heard of or seen a batman where Robin wasn’t like a teenage guy. I do agree she was a good actor in hunger games, but I think her playing robin may cause a huge controversy. To me with her being a female there going to be a different feel in the movie. Will she and batman have a love connection or what? I guess I will just have to wait and see.
