Trivia

Quotes

Andrea Beaumont: I never thought this would happen. I always felt like... like I'd thrown you a curveball, like you never knew what to do with me, because I wasn't in "The Plan".

Faq

Why isn't Robin in this?

One assumes that the filmmakers wanted to keep the focus of this story squarely on Bruce Wayne and Andrea Beaumont. However, there are at least two in-film explanations. 1) Dick Grayson was away at college and Bruce didn't want to involve him in such a personal case. 2) The movie novelization by Geary Gravel has Dick overseas, training with one of Bruce's old martial arts masters.
