Big Hero 6 Star Proves He Can Be Robin In DCEU With Concept Video

The actor who voiced Hiro in the Disney animated film Big Hero 6 has made a big push to be considered as Robin for the DCEU by posting a concept fight video.

Ryan Potter (Big Hero 6, Supah Ninjas) has been vocal about wanting to be Robin, specifically Tim Drake the 3rd Robin.  He’s been tweeting and mentioning in interviews about wanting to play Tim Drake in the DCEU for some time but now he’s taking it a step further to prove he has what it takes, at least physically, to don a cape and be Batman‘s sidekick. At the end of the video he address Ben Affleck directly using a quote from Tim Drake in the comics that Batman needs a Robin.

In the DCEU the only Robin that has been confirmed to exist is Jason Todd. His damaged and defiled suit is seen in the Batcave in Batman Vs. Superman. Jason Todd was the second Robin in the comics. If the DCEU sticks to the comic storyline like they have done pretty well so far that could mean that Dick Greyson is out there as Nightwing and Tim Drake is next in line to be Robin. Ryan Potter would definitely fit the bill as Tim Drake so here’s hoping that Ben Affleck and DC take notice.

Holy Nostalgia, Batman! Adam West And Burt Ward Return In An Animated Adventure!

If you grew up on the campy 1960’s Batman show starring Adam West and Burt Ward like I did, you’re going to love this! The caped crusader and his faithful ward are returning to their roots in a new animated feature film Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, featuring the voices of Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar; that’s Catwoman if you didn’t know.

In the trailer, Batman and Robin are on their way to having their collective goose cooked when the news that a new animated feature (starring them) is on the way sparks a brilliant escape plan the likes of which only Batman would conceive. The trailer also teases the film’s villains, including the Joker, Riddler, Penguin and Catwoman.

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders will be released on Oct. 11 and Blu-Ray on Nov. 1. Would you grab this up just satisfy your inner child? (I know I am!) Sound off in the comments below!
