Citizens,
Much appologies for the laps in communication the past couple of days. Dick Grayson has had a busy week and didn't have much time to become "Robin." However, my extended abscence has given me plenty of time to think of fresh material to satiate all of your Batman hunger!
I don't have much time to post now, but I will leave you with this tantalizing thought: Where did the Derivative come from? What are his origins? And, what is his future in the Batman universe? Holy Two Part Posts Batman! Tune in tomorrow, Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel! One hint: The best is yet to come!
THOCK!,
Robin

Batman vs. Predator?
Citizens,
Yes, that does sound like a silly premise. However, I have found a fanflick on YouTube that has this very match up! The film is quite good (I found out they only had a budget of 30k for it... :-P). And, to date, I think it is the best interpretation of the Joker I have seen.
This is definately worth a watch!

Favorite Robinism?
Citizens,
Inspired by my last post, I felt I should share with you my favorite Robinism from our 4 Episodes of Batman. What, was my favorite line I delivered?
For those not familiar, a Robinism is a line where Robin punches his fist and says to Batman, "Wow! Holy..." and the following line must use alleteration and reference something Batman directly said.
For example, in Episode 1, Batman and Robin rush into the movie theater only to find it empty. Robin promptly says, "Terrifying Theatrics! No one is here!"
In Episode 3, The Derivative uses knockout gas on the Duo to a great effect and Robin screams, "Great Gasious Granades! It's gas!"
In all honest, my favorite Robinism I ever delievered was, "Holy Taxation Without Represenation Batman!" This line comes from Episode 3 and is said right after Comissioner Gordon says the Gotham Liberty Bell has been stolen.
I'm not sure really why I like that line so much. I think it's pretty original. You don't see it coming. Also, I delievered it with such energy in the final take we used that it always makes me laugh.
Of course, there are many favorite lines I have to say. But, this one will always hold a special place in this crime fighters heart!
THUMP!,

Not a "man", a "Henchman!"
Citizens,
In honor of Easter, I thought I'd give you two glorious posts to reveal over today! Holy Estatic Easter Suprises Batman!
You may be wondering what my favorite joke we pulled in the course of our 4 Episodes of Batman. To me, I'd honestly have to say it was in Episode 1. Batman and Robin learn the Derivative is hiding out in a movie theater. They rush in but the movie is rated "R", so Robin can't go in. So, I'm hanging out in the lobby when a strange man (who happens to have the word "Man" on his tee-shirt) comes up to me and asks me if I'd like some refreshments.
Now, I SHOULD have known not to take refreshments from a stranger. But, you have to remember that Robin is just a young boy and Batman wasn't there to guide him. Also, in case you don't remember, all the bad guys in the show have signs on their shirt that say "Henchman" on them.
I order a glass of milk from the man. He gives it to me and Robin faints, clearly a victim of poision. At that point, the "man" reveals that the "hench" part of his sign was covered up and he is really a henchman!
Every time I see that I laugh and I can't believe the original 60s show didn't ever do something like that. I mean, with everything being labeled, it only makes sense that to "disguise" your true identity, all you have to do is cover up your sign!
SLASH!,

Grayson
Citizens,
Have you heard of a movie called "Grayson?" I doubt you have. In fact, there is no such movie. There is however, a trailer for a movie named "Grayson."
Holy Stupifying Situations Batman! What could all this mean?
Well, in Hollywood, two chaps wanted to make a trailer to showcase their talent. All that being said, the trailer is quite good and would make an interesting movie. The plot is that Batman is mysteriously murdered and Dick Grayson, now in his 30s, comes out of retirement to try and catch his killer. It looks fun to me (mainly because Robin is the main character!) and worth a watch! Hope you enjoy it.

Robin and Robin Hood?
Citizens,
Did you ever wonder where the idea for Robin and his costume came from? According to the late Bob Kane, it actually came from Robin Hood! His costume does have a rather medevial feel to it when you're looking at the boots, shirt and mask.
But, perhaps, maybe what REALLY happened is Robin went back in time and inspired Robin Hood to dress like him. Of course, we'll never really know...
THUNK!,

A Little Less than Four Months to Go...
Citizens,
I'm sure by now you have all heard about the release of The Dark Knight coming to theaters! The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman Begins, is looking to this hero to be as good as the first! It's scheduled to be released in a little less than 4 months on July 18th. Batman and I will probably find some unique way to show our support for this other Batman and applaud his crime fighting efforts (we all know who the real Batman is anyway!)
If you haven't seen the trailer or heard much about it, check it out here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/
Personally, I'm excited to see the Joker in action! (my favorite comic book hero) We'll keep you posted about any plans for Batman and I to see the film (on opening day of course!)
ZOKO!,

The Adventure to Phantom Fireworks!
Citizens,
It's been awhile since Batman and I posted here. And I realized in a post I made 3 years ago that I promised to tell you all about our misadventure to find some fireworks to use in filming! Now, I know the loyal legion of you have been checking this site daily and asking yourself "Why Robin! Why won't you tell us?!" Today, my friends, the day is here.
Back in the summer of 2004, Batman and I were talking about making Episodes 3 &4. We had talked about many upgrades to the episodes like costumes, environments and props. One of those things we sought to upgrade was our knock out gas. As I already said, we used baby powder and flour to a great effect. However, nothing quite has that knock out gas feel as colored smoke flying in your face.
Batman and I talked about many possiblities. The cheapest and easiest solution was to seemily buy some smoke bombs. These devices can be lit and will produce a large amount of smoke within seconds. Plus, the smoke is multicolored. With Gotham City being located in MD, we decided to try and locate some smokebombs online. However, we soon discovered that fireworks companies could not ship to MD nor could you buy the smoke bombs in MD. If we wanted to buy the smoke bombs, we had to go out of state.
Fortunately, Batman and I had heard of a rather large Firework company that was just over the MD line in PA. While Batman and I had never actually visited the Fireworks company called 'Phantom Fireworks' we were moderately certain that we could find it. We knew that it was "just up Route 15 somewhere." So, rather than look up the store, call for directions or even mapquest it we just jumped into the Batmobile and headed off.
Batman and I drove for a long time. We were having fun talking about how great the knockout gas was going to be. However, after a while, we realized that we had been driving on 15 for a while, had been in PA for a while and no Phantom Fireworks was to be found. So, after a few more minutes of driving, the Duo agreed that we needed to pull over and ask for directions (the Bat Map was down.)
We pulled into a Texico gas station and jumped out and went into the convience store. I sauntered up to the counter and asked the attendent where Phantom Fireworks was. The look I was given was one you never want to see a doctor give you when they're operating on you. She looked back at me and said she had no idea what I was talking about. I confidently told her that it was around here somewhere and she countered with that she had lived in this area most of her life and had never heard of a phantom fireworks before.
Dejected,Batman and I jumped back into the Batmobile and decided it was time to head back to the Batcave and marked the mission as failed. Upon returning we looked up the actual location of Phantom Fireworks and discovered that it was actually not "just up 15 somewhere." Rather, it was just up route 70, the exact opposite way where we had been looking.
The moral to the story? Before you start in on something, make sure you know what you're getting into!
KA-BABP!,
Robin
