Hong Kong’s Chen will be Batman’s partner in next sequel.

Edison Chen (陳冠希) has just been cast as ‘Robin’ in the 3rd Batman film, tentatively schedule for Summer 2010.

Director Chris Nolan was so impressed with Edison’s role in this year’s The Dark Knight (蝙蝠俠:黑夜之神) – the sequel to 2005’s Batman Begins – that Nolan has re-written Edison’s scenes so that it seems logical that his character will become the Dark Knight’s junior partner in the third film, scheduled for 2 years from now.

So it looks like the sex scandal worked out in the end for Edison, bringing him the worldwide acclaim that all his Hong Kong movies couldn’t do. We have an exclusive audio interview with Edison about the role of ‘Robin’ below…

Happy April Fool’s Day!

We return you to ‘real’ news tomorrow!

  3. I think honestly talking that the appearance of Robin in THE SHADOW OF THE BAT 2009 would b better if they told the story of how he tranforms in Robin. And I think that JOSH HARTNETT would be perfect to be a robin/nightwing in that movie.
    If you see his job in the movie ¨ASESINO A SUELDO¨ (I don´t konw what´s it´s name in english) is per fect like a base to robin.
    Because he feels so anger and he wants vengenace of the death of his parents (dick grayson) and there is batman to clam down and put him in the right way.
    That movie ASESINO…. was so darker; and that requires this 3RD BATMAN FILM………….

  4. This guy is gonna be Robin?
    I can’t quite see it. I just,
    i dunno. I kinda thought that
    Robin would start out a little bit younger. Two or three years minnor,
    ya know? Don’t get me wrong, this
    guy would be fine. But I see him a
    bit more like a Nightwing.

  6. I personally think an Asian Robin would be so awesome because that can be something new to the Nolan batman series. the story should start as that his name is unknown but first he’s adopted by the Soaring Grayson’s an American acrobatic family who work at a circus, because they saw a mysterious Chinese little boy with great acrobatics skills they saw at the orphanage. (his biological family were acrobatics but doesn’t really remember them) then the married couple thought having a son as an acrobatic could make them a whole family that they always wanted and could make them feel unique. which they adopted him and named him Richard Grayson since he a didn’t have a name. then he was a part of the Grayson family. (Chinese are known for astonishing acrobatics skills)
