What next movie? This is flopping pretty hard

It's heading for a $120 million opening weekend. That would make it the second best opening weekend since the pandemic began (after Spider-Man: No Way Home's $260 million opening weekend)

Doesn't sound like it's 'flopping pretty hard' at all.

It may not be flopping hard but proves that Marvel sells more tickets even during a pandemic.

Yep true. Spider-Man: No Way Home was very anticipated though due to the fan speculation that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would be in it.

The Batman has very little competition this month so it could do quite well for itself with positive word of mouth, we'll see.

I can see what you mean, but I personally hope that's not the case. It's probably just like the kid in Batman Begins (the blond one played by Joffrey Baratheon), he kept showing up but he was just there, nothing more.

If there's gonna be more of these Battinson movies, I'd rather they use Dick Grayson. He's a beloved character and has yet to be in a good live-action adaptation.

Well, maybe the boy used to be in the circus.

He's the son of a mayor candidate, so I doubt it.

He'll be Harvey Dent? Lol... Since dad was in politics and after seeing his dad murdered, he'll want to fight crime and become some lawyer.

He'd still be way too young to be Robin. Unless he's already like 12 and just looks really young.

This is for time lapse into the future shtick. Batman here looks somewhat young as well.

He's exactly the right age. This is Batman Year Two, so the timing works out. That said, if he's Robin, that would be a MAJOR departure. As has been mentioned, Robin is Dick Grayson, who grew up in the circus.

Fun Fact: the kid in the beginning who played the half-painted new gang member also plays Tim Drake in the Titans TV show. . .who becomes Robin, after Dick Grayson and Jason Todd!
