Watching Batman Begins and The Dark Knight again in anticipation of The Dark Knight Rises, you can't help but wonder why The Boy Wonder - that's Robin, by the by - didn't get a mention. If he was good enough for Adam West, he's good enough for Christian Bale, right?

Well, what you're forgetting - and what Above Average Productions' skit here reminds us - is that Robin is a bit of an idiot. Full of silly jokes, bad puns and "Holy something, Batman!" exclamations, he's more than a bit embarrassing.

Seriously, just look at how he dresses. Red, yellow and green? What is he, a Christmas elf? Anyway, just to prove the already obvious point that Robin just doesn't work in the Nolanverse, here's a rather funny sketch about it above and loads more funny sketches about other Batmannery below. Enjoy!
