Milo Ventimiglia wants to play Robin in a new Batman film.
The 31-year-old actor — who is dating his Heroes co-star Hayden Panettiere — is desperate to play the caped-crusader’s famed sidekick if the part should come up in a future outing to Gotham City.
He explains, “I always thought I would make a great Robin.
“I would love to be Christian Bale’s sidekick in Batman. Even when I was younger I never wanted to be Batman.
“I have always wanted to be Robin. To this day I still think that would be pretty cool.”
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that 62-year-old singer Cher won’t be playing Catwoman in a third Christopher Nolan-directed Batman film.
A spokesman for Warner Bros. said that reports the Believe hitmaker would be joining a cast including Johnny Depp as the Riddler “are untrue.”
Hey, I was wondering what the source of your Milo quote was, as the ‘Robin’ thing with Milo keeps popping up again and again. Since the 2007 Comic Con I beleive, when he also brought up ‘Nightwing’.
