I was you...

Robin: The time's come for you to pay for what you did.
Guy: No. I was you. (I did what you would have done?) You forced me to do it.
Robin: You murdered her.

It's a weird thing to say. Are you sure it's not "It was you"? If "I was you" is right, the only sense I can make of it is that Guy was so much under Robin's influence that he felt he was him.

I agree.

Other possible interpretations (if that was indeed the wording actually used):

"I was acting like you."
"I was being you."
"I had become you."
