Fans meet Robinson's Carrie Kelley immediately, as it's established that she and Turner have math class together. But when he is wrongly arrested for murdering his own father, Carrie rescues Turner and the children of Batman's enemies from certain death while en route to Blackgate Prison. Robinson has the honor of being the first female performer to suit up as Robin in a live-action project. And while she might be anxious about playing the Girl Wonder, 17-year-old Robinson is delighted to be portraying such an iconic character.
"When I actually think about it as myself, I feel so honored, and grateful, and hopeful that I am capable of carrying the spirit of Robin," Robinson said during the same interview. "And that people can ultimately see it for what it is, which is a new and different portrayal. It's just the world evolving, and the character evolves along with it, and that really excites me."
While Carrie Kelley's CW costume looks completely different than it did in "The Dark Knight Returns," Robin still sports a version of her trademark goggles with green lenses. She wore them constantly in the graphic novel, even though they've been updated for the television show. Season 1 hasn't wasted any time exploring the new Robin, and diehard Batman fans are undoubtedly curious to see how the series handles Kelley and Stephanie Brown's (Anna Lore) relationship moving forward. In the comic books, Brown also dons the identity of Robin.
