You realize Burton and Daniel Waters hate Robin right? It's a studio note that inevitably gets shoehorned-in due to being a big part of the brand's public awareness. And the creative team always try their best to disguise and downplay it as much as possible. That's why the Penguin's in the movie, and drastically different from the source material. The looming shadow of Batmania '66 will forever haunt this franchise. That's why the Penguin will never completely go away.
