Robin: Son of the Joker

Was watching Jeremy Jahns' review for Arkham Knights and he went off on a tangent stating it'd be cool if Batman had a Robin who was Joker's son. Do you think this would be interesting?

could you give a link

How many Robins do we really need?

That would be an interesting dynamic. We've had Ra's Al Ghul's grandson and heir, why not Joker's son? Except that maybe he doesn't even have a sexuality..

It'd be cool though.

Agreed, enough already, they should have just stopped with Damien already, not sure what the purpose was of killing him off. Now the next Robin is just gonna feel like "Eh, whatever..."

Sounds like fanfiction to me.

And it will feel very forced and cheesy.

@lordofthenorth: Forgot to put that it was a trailer review, my mistake. Here's the link if you're still interested: http://www.youtube.com/embed/HyRtJrYv1qo?autoplay=1

@rustyroy: Not with the right writer.

Ra's Al Ghul's grandson was also Bruce's child, so I don't think that example holds up.

Um, pretty sure he was joking in the video. He even mentions that the kid would only be a few months old IF Harley had the baby. But we found out in the DLC to Arkham City that Harley wasn't really pregnant and she ended up having a false positive pregnancy test.

@war_killer: That was the reason Paul Dini left

In any case, we should have Bruce's son in the Arkham-verse before we have Joker's (now non-existent) child.

It's not happening. This game is set 1 year after arkham city, so if Harley was pregnant in that game the baby would only be a few months old

When was that stated as the reason for why he left? I know he didn't write the DLC and that he's not writing Arkham Knight, but I never saw anything that suggested he left the series because of Harley's pregnancy.

@war_killer: I remember reading an interview where he talks about DC not consulting him about the DLC

@war_killer: I know he was joking, just wanted to know if anyone thought it'd make a good story in the comics.
