bullet::::- in the script written by tom mankiewicz for the unmade "the batman", dick grayson suffers his family's death by joker being adopted by bruce wayne, blaming batman for their deaths and discovering after the batcave and being robin after. michael j. fox and eddie murphy (during the period that the script was rewritten as a comedy) were considered for the role. the special edition version of the "batman" dvd features an animated storyboard sequence of when his parents are killed by the joker. jason hillhouse provides the voice of dick grayson, while kevin conroy and mark hamill reprise their respective roles (from the dc animated universe) as batman and the joker in the storyboard sequence. director tim burton planned to cast actor ricky addison reed as robin, but later felt it was unimportant to the story and cut robin out altogether. kiefer sutherland had also turned down the role, despite being unaware of the film's tone and direction. marlon wayans was originally cast as robin in the 1992 film "batman returns", however it was felt that the film featured too many characters, so the character was omitted from that film. in an earlier script of "batman returns", he was portrayed as a technologically savvy street kid who would help batman following his narrow escape when the penguin tried to kill him. he would later play a crucial role in batman's final confrontation with the penguin. in that script, he was simply called robin and has no known real name. he was considered for the role in "batman forever", but the change in directors from tim burton to joel schumacher would also mean a change in the choice of actor for the role of robin. despite not actually appearing in either film, he was reportedly still paid for the role.
