While I've played a lot (A LOT) of characters from comics and cartoons and such, I haven't really felt the need to get a PB before. With Dick, though, I thought it might be fun to actually go for it.

I started by looking around comic message boards for lists that people might have posted of who should play Dick Grayson in whatever various movies he could appear in. There was one thread in particular about "If Robin was ever brought into the Batman Begins series..." and there were a ton of horrible, horrible, horrible suggestions. The only one who actually clicked for me was Jesse Bradford.

Not wanting to leave it to comic geeks on message boards, I hit PB comms on GJ and LJ, and out of everyone on several PB comms the only one who clicked for me was... Jesse Bradford.

From two directions he was a clearly wonderful choice. The only problem I had was finding pictures of him to use. I guess I could have raided caps of Bring It On, but that isn't quite the look I'm going for when the cartoon character's basic wardrobe included a sweatervest.

I could go back to the cartoon at some point, but I'm happy enough for now.
