There are less than six months to go before The Batman reaches theaters and fans arent any closer to understanding Matt Reeves’ new take on the caped crusader than they were when the teaser was released over a year ago. The facts remain the same — the director’s Batman is anticipated as the darkest and most realistic telling of the caped crusader yet — following a younger Bruce Wayne through Gotham as a detective. The film has no shortage of dark villains already confirmed, from Paul Dano’s Riddler to The Penguin and even Catwoman. But where do Batman’s allies fit in this new version?

Perhaps giving Batman allies is planned for the next part of Reeves’ hopeful trilogy. Regardless, they’re an important part of Wayne’s character throughout the comics. One of the most important people on the side of Batman is of course Robin. Despite the tumultuous past that his character has with the big screen, he's deeply beloved by fans. The younger sidekick of Bruce Wayne has been seen as the bright-eyed boy wonder Dick Grayson and the darker Damian Wayne later in the comics. But how would Reeves bring Robin to the big screen again and who would be behind the mask? Here are five actors that could play a great Robin to Robert Pattinson’s Batman.

Lucas Hedges

This actor could be great for any way Matt Reeves would potentially want to take Robin as a character. Hedges has portrayed sweet and snarky men in Lady Bird and Manchester by the Sea, his performance in the latter as Patrick Chandler earning him an Oscar nomination at just twenty years old. Lucas has also played much more tense roles as a boy forced into conversion therapy in Boy Erased and an angry teenager in a production of Yen. With mostly independent films under his belt, The Batman could be just the role to bring Hedges into mainstream Hollywood.

Maisie Williams

If Reeves wants to make a statement with Robin, why not cast a woman and create a girl wonder instead of a traditional take? Probably known best for her role as the strong-willed Arya Stark on Game of Thrones, Williams finally has time to take on different roles. Since the finale of the beloved HBO show, she’s been hard at work with guest appearances on Doctor Who and even a role in the long-delayed The New Mutants, so superhero films are under her ever-growing belt. Williams is also no stranger to fight scenes thanks to her time on GOT, so training to become Robin would be a breeze for her. The Robin she could create could be as scrappy as Arya was in the beginning seasons or something else entirely.

Asa Butterfield

This next actor definitely looks the part of Robin thanks to his dark hair and bright blue eyes. Butterfield has been acting since he was seven years old and has an impressive filmography for his age. The London-born actor hopped onto the scene with a heartwrenching performance in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and eventually went on to work with the likes of Martin Scorcese and Tim Burton. Asa could play a sweet and awkward version of Robin, which could create a comedic dynamic between the boy wonder and Pattinson’s grizzly Batman. Butterfield currently stars as Otis Milburn in the Netflix series Sex Education, which has recently released its third season.

Jordan Fisher

Jordan Fisher may seem like a choice out of left field, but the actor has proven himself worthy of the role of Robin. Fisher was first in guest roles on numerous Disney and Nickelodeon shows like Liv and Maddie and iCarly before starring landing a knockout role in Grease: Live. The actor has done mostly music-focused roles like Jake Taylor in Work It and Jamie Porter in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, but has starred in the horror video game Until Dawn and recently played a minor superhero. In 2021, Fisher joined the cast of CW’s The Flash to play Bart Allen, Barry Allen’s future son and a Speedster in his own right. His caring persona and good looks could be a nice angle for a potential boy wonder.

Timothee Chalamet

Chalamet has been a fan-cast mainstay for Robin for a while and it’s for good reason. Not only does the actor have the dark hair and boyish face of the comic book version of Dick Grayson, but he can also definitely handle a darker take on the character, something that Batman director Matt Reeves would try to shoot for if Robin was written into a potential film. The actor is about to prove himself ten times over with the upcoming and highly anticipated adaptation of Dune coming later in October. His time working on the science-fiction epic could definitely help him with making a film on the scale of The Batman as well.

The Batman is expected in theaters on March 4th, 2022.
