The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan convinced Warner Bros. to scrap a Robin spin-off set off the back of his Batman universe

Robin from DC Comics.

Now that James Gunn’s Superman has hit screens, all eyes are on DC Studios, so much so that it has been found that Warner Bros once tried to make a Robin spin-off show on the back of Christopher Nolan’s Batman universe, but the director stopped it from happening.

Before Warner Bros. found James Gunn to head DC Studios, the company tried to create a Robin spin-off show that would seemingly be set in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Universe, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. This was an attempt to save its struggling comic book movie line, and because Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy had proven to be such a commercial and critical hit, it looks like Warner Bros wanted to ride that success.
