 Robin was played by 26-year-old Johnny Duncan in Columbia Pictures' "Batman and Robin" (1949), directed by Spencer Gordon Bennet.Robin did not appear in the Tim Burton movies "Batman" (1989) and "Batman Returns" (1992).This was an unusual move as the two 1940s serials as well as the 1966 movie and attendant TV show had presented the 'Dynamic Duo' as an inseparable pair, with the general public unaware that the comic-book incarnation of Batman often worked alone.
