The "Batman" solo movie with Ben Affleck is surely gaining a lot of attention as it inches forward to its release. That being said, fans could be looking at the next big thing to enter the blockbuster movie.
It was confirmed recently that Ben Affleck's antagonist will be Deathstroke, which the actor first teased via social media. Things became more interesting when the reveal of Joe Manganiello portraying the said character surfaced.
But all of that might be tipped aside, after a viral video of an audition for the role of Robin in "Batman" started to make waves. According to Cinema Blend, "Big Hero 6" actor Ryan Potter created quite the noise when he uploaded a minute-long staged fight video of him taking on goons in Robin-esque fashion.
As per I Digital Times, the actor implied in the footage that he could pretty much handle some fight scenes for the "Batman" standalone film-even showing minute details of Robin along the way. With the colors of Robin and a staff that signifies his Tim Drake persona, Potter ended the clip with the classic line saying that Batman needs a Robin.
Greatly as it may seem, there is no confirmation yet as to whether the "Batman" lead and director Ben Affleck will accept the proposal of Potter to portray Tim Drake. The participation of any of the Robin characters in the movie is still questionable for now.
Will the DCEU consider the work of Potter as Tim Drake for Ben Affleck's "Batman?" Or is it still too early to call?
