Milo Ventimiglia Makes Plea For Role Of Boy Wonder

Humble Milo Ventimiglia thinks he's just the thing for the new Dark Knight movie. Heroes' Peter Petrelli told Showbiz Spy, "I always thought I would make a great Robin." Well Milo, if you can dream it, maybe you can do it. But why does the 31-year-old Ventimiglia think he can carry off the green tights?

Apparently the role of Robin has always been a dream role for Milo. He even goes as far as saying he wouldn't mind playing second fiddle to Batman, "I would love to be Christian Bale's sidekick in Batman. Even when I was younger I never wanted to be Batman."

I call shenanigans on this — who grows up pretending to be Robin? But more importantly Milo needs to check his aspirations at the door as Bale would rather get dragged by the Tumbler than work on a Dark Knight that included Robin, and we agree with him. No Robin thanks, we're saving room for characters that deserve be brought to life in Nolan's gritty Gotham, like Catwoman.
