I agree with most of your sentiments, especially about Thor. I find him cheap and a silly addition into the Marvel Universe. 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)

I can understand that. The Pixified Robin is hard for people to relate to in certain media. That might be all some people know of him. There are two great extremes in the Robin mythos: Dick Grayson becoming the prodigy Batman always dreamed of, then Jason Todd becoming a warped reality of what Batman stood for, but just as good as Bruce.

There are also two entries into the Batman Universe that MADE Robin such a great mythos. First I would say if you ever get the chance, please read Battle of the Cowls, it will blow your mind. Every Robin, every side kick, even a few enemies show up to fight over who deserves to continue Batman's daring legacy. Complete chaos is going on in the world because all the villains know he is dead. You have a few of the good guys running around in varying batman outfits, fighting bad guys, and each other battle royale style. The ending leads to a pretty insiteful Batman arch where Dick Grayson is THE Batman, and Damien Wayne becomes his Robin(he struggles with the concept of respecting Dick as a leader and also with NOT killing his enemies lol).

Second, Watch the animation "Batman: Under the RedHood",.......EPIC!!!!! Batman's greatest failure comes back to haunt him in a very big way and he tests the lengths of Batman's moral code.
