"Batman: The Dark Knight Returns voice actress Ariel Winter has opened up about her role portraying the first female Robin on-screen. Winter, who plays Carrie Kelly in the animated feature, said that she was &amp;quot;honoured&amp;quot; to feature in the project and felt &amp;quot;empowered&amp;quot; in the role.   &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s really cool to be the first female animated Robin,&amp;quot; she told Super Hero Hype. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s been so many amazing boys, but I think I can just bring something new that the fans have never experienced. So I&amp;#039;m really honoured to be part of such a fantastic project. &amp;quot;Female empowerment really is important to me. I&amp;#039;m a big nerd of the books from the 15th Century and 16th Century, when the men had all the power and the women had none of it.  &amp;quot;So to have Robin be a girl is cool because it gives girls a chance to know that they can do everything boys can do, and even better.&amp;quot; Dark Knight Returns is based on Frank Miller&amp;#039;s classic four-part DC Comics miniseries, which sees an older Bruce Wayne returning from retirement. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns - Part One will debut on Blu-ray and DVD on September 25 in the US. A UK release date is yet to be confirmed.
