OH DEAR GOD NO!!!!

Robin is supposed to be a supporting character, but I'm not sure JB's ego would allow him to be other than the star and central focus of the movie, so this would in no way be a good fit.  What would they do, turned his heavily gelled spiked hair into a weapon? 

[Thorn Wilde]

Oh god, he would be the worst Robin ever! Please, do not do this!

[hh5]

wouldn't the bad guys have something more to beat up robin if he sings? esp if we make the bad guy extra paparazzi?

Some of the comments make valid points:

• If true, he probably just breached a confidentiality agreement (NDA) and will be fired.
• Warner Brother's should know that Justin Bieber is basically a punchline now, so casting him is shooting themselves in the foot
• With Bieber's ego, he'll be a nightmare to work with and that'll reflect in the movie.

I legitimately hope this isn't true. But I also think it isn't. If it turns out to be true though, I know of one less movie I'll be watching in 2015.

Calm down, everyone! We all know that Batman is all about his gadgets and tools, and Bieber is nothing if not a massive tool.

I'm not so sure that he's as much a massive tool as a multi-tool: he can be all sorts of tools all at once.

. . . Oh Lord. A few years ago he was thought of as a lesbian. And now this! Go back to youtube Justin. GO HOME! I'm warning you. You don't have the badonkadonks to fill in Robin's green briefs. 

[Mann Ramblings]

I will allow if only if they treat him as "Robin the Boy Target."

[JamesSavik]

If the Dynamic Duo is cast Ben Ass-slack and Justin Bieber will they be known as the Crap Crusader and boy catamite?

[wildone]

Well Robin was always assumed to be Batman's gay boytoy. So if Justin is trying to come out slowly, this may be a first step

 

I don't really care either way. One superhero series that has never caught my attention or like has been the Batman series.

There have been several Robin's in the Batman universe and no one could be more inappropriate for the part than Justin Bieber.  The current incarnation of Robin, Damian Wayne, is absolutely ruthless and cunning, nothing like the Biebs.  The directors have already made sure I won't see this movie by casting Ben Affleck as Batman, casting Bieber as Robin would only make it worse and I'm not even a fanboy, just an occasional reader!  Though I do write a pretty good story about Damian Wayne

[Conner]

Yet another hate-on thread about Bieber.  This is so old.  Nothing better to do?

 

It's rather ironic that a site, which had to cancel political discussion for all the nonsense it was causing, permits hate-ons.  If similar statements appearing here had been made about a GA member, there would be warnings and the like but it seems to be open season on non-members.

While Justin Bieber is a douche, I'd still do him. I know many of you think the same thing, but won't admit it cause you can't get past the pre-pube, is it a boy or a girl? Justin Bieber.

 

The Justin Bieber of now is actually pretty fucking hot and could be a twink porn star if he wasn't already a really famous, crappy pop star, lol.

u think bieber will look like this in ten years

[JamesSavik]

Yet another hate-on thread about Bieber.  This is so old. 

 

I'm not here to bash the Biebs.

 

I just think it's really stupid to do yet another freaking Batman origin movie.

 

For the love of God, we know the story already. Unless you do it nude or in body paint, what more could be offered?

 

There are so many other worthy projects that would be much better instead.

 

Oh heh. I will take the opportunity to crap on Ben Ass-slack

The new audience only seen the batman genre but its good to hear about the JUstice League ... its not all batman n robin ... its each super character working together

We seen the Avengers .. the mutant get together ... but DC super heroes ... its a bit more of every comic book fan dreams to see a live action representation that touched lives longer than marvel has ever done

The star had earned the backing of British boyband Union J, who met the suggestion with open minds.

 

‘I genuinely think he would make a good Robin. Back in the day Robin was young,’ JJ Hamblet told us in a chat on Monday.

 

While bandmate Josh Cuthbert also added: ‘I think Ben Affleck will be a good Batman. Daredevil was a good film,’ referencing the 2003 comic action flick in which Affleck played another masked vigilante

 

Some fans are still angry that Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman

Dark times for the Dark knight: Some fans are still angry that Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman

 

 

it could be worst he could have tried for kick ass 3

[Solus Magus]

It's okay for me if it was Jason Todd. At least he dies by being beaten up by a crowbar. But then again, he won't make a bad ass. Red Hood.
