Well, Heroes is getting close to tanking unless the third season is any good, and no Dark Knight sequel has been announced, but that can't stop a kid from dreaming, eh? Comics2Film picked up on a chat between Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia and the gossip site Showbiz Spy, in which Peter Petrelli talks about how he'd really like to put on those yellow tights.
"I always thought I would make a great Robin. I would love to be Christian Bale's sidekick in Batman. Even when I was younger I never wanted to be Batman."
I'm sure Christian Bale, who has said he would refuse to come to work if Robin were introduced to the series, will be thrilled to hear that. As will Christopher Nolan, who has sworn up and down multiple times that Robin has no place in his vision of Batman's universe. It's all well and good to dream about which superhero or sidekick you'd like to play, but probably best to keep to yourself. Blabbing to a gossip site about how you want to play a role that will never, ever exist just makes you look a little silly.

Ive said it before, they cant use a 30-something or really even a 20-something actor, they need a kid, 16, 17 at the most. Robin was the "Boy" wonder, not the "Man" wonder... If anything, Milo would be an amazing Nightwing, but that throws off the the whole timeline.
The big issue here is def age... Bale is 34, and for sure not playing Bruce as much older than that, and Milo is 31, and cant possibly play any younger than 25 or so.
Its all moot anyway, I think Nolan is doing just fine, if he says no Robin, Im fine with that, but someone Batman could fight alongside would be nice. I do with Two-Face had stuck around longer.

True enough but if anyone were to play Robin I think he'd be the one.
