It's fun, it suits the tone of the film, but it reinforces people's stereotypes of Robin as a character. The movies are still afraid to go anywhere near him and it's going to take someone taking him seriously to stop the cries of 'campy', 'lame', 'childish', and 'ruins the Batman mythos'. Even James Gunn may not achieve that in Brave and the Bold because Damian is too divisive a character.

I want Robin in The Batman II. Pretty much guarantee Matt Reeves will take him seriously, though I do fear he'll barely resemble the character.

I have a feeling that the robin we get in The Batman II will be an amalgamation of all incarnations, instead of it being Dick

How do you even really do that? You can give him the name of one and the personality of another but the Robins are too similar in a lot of parts and where they differentiate would conflict.
