It was during this changover process that Schumacher decided to cast a new Robin, replacing Wayans with O'Donnell. This time, however, the entire production was upended when Burton ended up replaced by Schumacher, and the direction of the threequel changed entirely. After being both cast and paid, it was the sequel's producers who decided to oust Robin from the script, believing that Cobblepott, Kyle and Shreck (Max, not the ogre) already presented an ample selection of new characters to introduce.ĭespite being benched for Batman Returns, Burton held onto the idea of Marlon Wayans playing Robin and planned to bring the Boy Wonder back for Batman Forever. Tim Burton originally cast Wayans as Robin ahead of Batman Returns, with the budding actor lined up as Keaton's vigilante sidekick. Then only beginning his career in movies and television, Wayans would go on to star in the Scary Movie series, White Chicks and a number of other parodies. However, Robin was originally set to make his first appearance one film earlier in Batman Returns, played by Marlon Wayans instead of O'Donnell.

Played by Chris O'Donnell, Batman Forever charted the origin of Dick Grayson and his becoming an apprentice of Bruce Wayne, with the dynamic duo firmly established by the end of the movie. Keaton's Batman worked alone for his pair of cinematic outings, and it wasn't until Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever with Val Kilmer that Robin made his first film appearance since Burt Ward slipped on those famous green tights.
