Robin has no place in this interpretation of Batman. Neither do Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Clayface, Croc, Man Bat or any other supernatural characters or elements.
Robin's not supernatural, but he undermines what Batman is. At least what Batman is in this interpretation. A watcher and guardian and a dark, brooding, loner.
Batman doesn't need a sidekick in Robin storywise either because in this we have the wonderful new character of Lucius Fox, and Gordon has become a hero and star in his own right.
In my mind, given what they're going for with this version, there aren't many options left for new characters to bring in.
I think if we even see a third film, we'll see Riddler and possibly Catwoman or the return of Ras Al Guhl.
