Finn Wittrock (born October 28, 1984) is an American actor best known for his role as Damon Miller on three seasons of "All My Children" (ABC/Hulu/OWN, 1970-2013). Having grown up in a theater-obsessed family in Massachusetts and Los Angeles, Wittrock began studying acting on his own after high school, and enrolled in the drama program at New York's prestigious Juilliard School. It wasn't long before he began landing guest spots on shows like "Cold Case" (CBS, 2003-2010), "ER" (NBC, 1994-2009), and "CSI: Miami" (CBS, 2002-2012), all while honing his craft by acting in plays in and around New York and Los Angeles. His big break came in 2009 when he was cast as the young Casanova Damon Miller on "All My Children." Wittrock appeared as the Miller character for three seasons on the show, before returning to the stage in 2012. This time, however, he would be starring alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman in a Mike Leigh-directed revival of "Death of a Salesman." The revival received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with Wittrock receiving much of the praise for his performance as Harold "Happy" Loman. After the play wrapped up in the spring of 2012, Wittrock returned to screen acting, appearing in a recurring role as Dale in the 1950s period drama "Masters of Sex" (Showtime 2013- ), as well as supporting roles in the big-budget epic "Noah" (2014) and "Winter's Tale" (2014). 2014 was also the year Wittrock appeared in the HBO movie "The Normal Heart," as well as an episode of "American Horror Story" (FX, 2011- ), thus allowing him to work with writer/director/producer Ryan Murphy on two separate projects in the same year.

While Batman has had plenty of success on the big screen, his partner Robin has only made a few cinematic appearances. Both Burt Ward and Chris O’Donnell played a teenage Dick Grayson in the 1960s and 1990s, respectively. Since Joseph Gordon-Levitt played an original character named Robin in 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises,” a comic-inspired Robin hasn’t appeared in live-action on-screen in two decades. While Grayson remains the definitive Robin in the larger pop cultural landscape, his successors like Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne have shockingly never appeared outside of animated adaptations. Since Ben Affleck’s Batman seems to be older than his cinematic forbearers, a movie focusing on an adult Dick Grayson as Nightwing and the other Robins could help give Affleck’s Batman some context. There have already been some highly-publicized allusions to Jason Todd’s demise that could be expanded upon with a Robin-centric tale. As the 2015 crossover “Robin War” showed, Batman’s four most famous Robins have a compelling group dynamic and play off each other well. A Robins movie could also take another hint from that crossover and examine the public’s perception of Batman in the DC Universe.
