All the other characters at least protend to be original(although many are based on Norse and Greek Gods). I don't agree with Robin, or at least think you should specify WHICH Robin....there were 3(4 if you count that one girl,5 if you count Bruce's merderous son). The original being Dick Grayson, I find him to be one of the best elements in the Batman Universe. If you have ever seen Dexter, Batman and Robin's relationship is basically the template of him. Robin was Bruce's apprentice, to continue his legacy. Dick is the first and to my knowledge only side kick to ever split from their master and become his own. Nightwing kicks major ass!Batman thought Dick to be a failed attempt to embody everything he beleived in but during the "Battle of the Cowls" after Bruce's death Grayson proved to be the most devote of Batman's entourage, dawning the mask himself. |
Okay, I have very little knowledge of the comics. I, like most people here, am basing this on popular media facts.
Dick Grayson from the animated movie was pretty cool, and Jason Todd was also pretty fantastic.
I guess Robin is only lame on the most popular portraits, as I have seen he (she?) tends to be cool in the comics (not to mention, most of them suffer tragic deaths)
