Especially if it's Shia LaBoof.

Yeah, that article looks like a load of BS.
Nolan has always said himself that he will not introduce a Robin character into his trilogy because he wants to have Batman be a lone fighter in the movies.

I pictured the Riddler in the Nolan films as never really being seen on screen, opting rather to carry out his misdeeds by proxy. Perhaps through hacking the internets or something. He's not been a physical character until as of late and even then, not so much.
Still, they already used a more cerebral bad guy in the first film. With the Joker in the second, I'd wager the next villain is going to be a bit more physically powerful. Didn't Killer Croc show up in that Arkham Asylum trailer?

I'll give you a surprise. You're wrong.
Although the 1989 movie and Batman Returns did inspire the animated series, which does kick a lot of ass.

I watched Batman: Gotham Knight yesterday and wasn't totally disappointed. Kevin Conroy reprised the role of Batman, which was probably most key to impressing me. While most of the character designs and styles started feeling familiar right away, I have to say "Field Test" was a little too Japanimation for my tastes, depicting Batman as a 12 year old schoolboy in his Bruce Wayne outfit and some sort of robobird in the Batsuit. It also contained a highly dubious, sound-activated, bullet-blocking magnet device. All the chapters were gorier than I expected, sprays and pools of blood appearing frequently. It was a more vivid and visceral vision of violence than there was in the either the made-for-children BTAS or any of the movies to date, but not to an extent that it overshadowed the story. The stories themselves were pretty good too. They offered some different and interesting perspectives on the Batman mythos.
The voice acting was pretty good. I can't tell if it's just because of the animation styles or not, but the dialog seemed disjointed at times, as if the actors were trying to fit their performances to the animation. Either way, I liked NCIS's Ducky as Alfred Pennyworth. I don't know if Efram Zimbalist Jr. is dead or not, but he was a good replacement. Ooh! I also was pleased to recognize Rob Paulsen's voice a couple times, possibly be cause those annoying "Mr. Opportunity"commercials play all the dang time around here.
