by

As a devoted fan with over two decades of immersion in the Gotham lore, I can’t help but feel a thrill running down my spine when it comes to the latest speculations about Dick Grayson’s Robin. The hint dropped in The Penguin episode regarding Robbinsville has me theorizing day and night, revisiting comic books, and even rereading Frank Miller’s seminal work, “The Dark Knight Returns.

In the second installment of “The Penguin,” a fleeting reference is made to an obscure Gotham district called Robbinsville. This casual mention has fueled excitement about the possibility of Dick Grayson’s Robin appearing in The Penguin, echoing comic creator Frank Robbins’ legacy. With fans brainstorming various theories, there’s a strong suspicion that Robbinsville could be connected to Grayson’s transformation into Robin in “The Batman Part 2,” directed by Matt Reeves.

In this story, there’s a suggestion that Dick Grayson’s character as Robin might have been subtly foreshadowed within the role of The Penguin.

Will Dick Grayson’s Robin Appear in The Penguin or The Batman Part 2?

At the moment, it hasn’t been officially announced if Dick Grayson will be featured in “The Penguin” or “The Batman Part 2.

Without explicitly spelling out their intentions, the creative minds behind the scenes haven’t laid out clear plans for when Grayson might make his appearance in the storyline. This has left fans guessing about his possible part to play. In the movie The Batman (2022), there have been whispers among viewers that a young character, who donned a red ninja suit after the demise of the mayor, could eventually grow into the role of Robin. A significant moment between this boy and Batman (played by Robert Pattinson), where they made eye contact, hints at a more profound connection.

In an interview with CinemaBlend in March 2022, director Matt Reeves initially dismissed the theory that the boy character could be Robin. However, he later admitted it was an intriguing concept but not their original plan. He added cryptically, “Why would I say that? Because it’s a cool idea.” Furthermore, during Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, Reeves neither confirmed nor denied the presence of Robin in The Penguin universe.

By leaving certain aspects ambiguous, fans have been able to delve into potential character relationships, particularly theories about Robin in “The Penguin”. For example, the setting of Robbinsville could be instrumental in shaping Grayson’s persona since it’s significant within the show. It’s possible that director Matt Reeves might be subtly suggesting upcoming plot points concerning Dick Grayson, given the emphasis on this neighborhood in “The Penguin”.

Though it’s unclear yet if Robin and The Penguin will have a significant connection, viewers are eagerly waiting to see any hints as the story unfolds. Keep a close eye on The Penguin in the ongoing series or be ready for Dick Grayson’s possible appearance in The Batman Part 2.
