Why do people get all excited thinking Blake is going to be Robin? We don't know anything about what he's become.
The idea Chris Nolan had was to not have Robin in the movie, but to have the presence of a character to represent Robin.
Blake's detective skills, knowing Bruce was Batman without being told, parents dead, and taking care of smaller objectives compared to Batman's such as protecting and transporting civillians.
At the end, Nolan showed us Blakes full name to give us that small nod or "Aha!" moment to the characte of Robin himself.
Who Blake becomes, it's unsure. But like Bruce said, the idea is that anyone can be Batman.
I like how they incorporated multiple robin origins into Blake.
Like Dick, he is also an orphan.
Like Tim he deduced Batman's identity for himself and also supports him.
I think Robin being Blake's real name was just a nod to the Character. I know there are many Robin's and making a new one for the sake of surprise wouldn't be a stretch, but one thing sells it for me.
Bruce makes a new Bat-Signal before he leaves Gotham.
Yeah, I don't understand why people think he will become Robin.
The whole movie talks about how Bruce himself is not Batman, but Batman is something in itself and could be anybody (i.e. Blake.)
I don't like how they dismissed Blake during the climax of the movie. They could've given him a more heroic task while still making him want to quit the force.
Bruce has fought the police before... Why couldn't Blake?
Bruce gave him that grenade to throw, why couldn't he have given him the BatClaw? Maybe Blake could've gotten around the bridge with it, we could've gotten a taste of Bat-Blake, and he could've considered being a Cop the wrong choice, all while being a hero.
But no. He shelters kids in a bus so that they don't expect their death. That was his final conflict. A bridge.
