Peter Petrelli Wants To Hang With BatmanBy Rafe Telsch: 2007-08-09 21:42:29
Here’s a story I hope only to report on in this current form: complete and total wishing on the part of the actor.
Milo Ventimiglia, star of “Heroes” and Rocky Balboa’s son, sat down with the MTV Movies Blog to promote his upcoming picture Pathology. As a star of “Heroes,” and with series regular Zachary Quinto recently scoring the dream role of Spock in the upcoming Star Trek flick, the discussion of dream roles came up. What would Ventimiglia’s dream gig be? Robin, the boy wonder, sidekick to Batman. Dear god, please never let this happen. Chris O’Donnell was bad enough. Not that he was terrible in the role, he just wasn’t right for the part. Actually, Ventimiglia agrees with that part, declaring ”They’ve never done it right” I’m sorry. Robin is the boy wonder. “Boy.” Not “thirty-something actor desperately trying to hang onto his youth by playing college students.” If O’Donnell felt too old for the part at 25, Ventimiglia doesn’t have a chance. At the very least, Robin should be a teenager, or at least pass for one. After all, this is a kid Batman takes under his proverbial wing, adopting him after his parents are killed. You don’t adopt a freakin’ twenty year old. Or maybe Ventimiglia meant “they’ve never done it right… because it wasn’t me.” No, that’s not it. Actually, the “Heroes” actor has his eyes on a franchise, revealing to MTV the one thing they haven’t done right: “Nightwing.” That makes it crystal clear. Ventimiglia wants to play Robin so he can play the adult, emancipated version of the hero as well. Didn’t he learn anything from Catwoman? Batman supporting characters are best left as supporting characters as far as film goes. Fortunately, Christopher Nolan’s Batman is still in his early years in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, so the chance of him taking on a ward is unlikely, and the chance of that ward being old enough to be played by Ventimiglia is even less likely. Here’s hoping Nolan never includes Robin in his movies; the Scrappy-Doo of the cinematic superhero scene.
