All the “Reasons for Robin”

For a while I’ve felt I should collect the links for my “Reasons for Robin” postings into one handy round-up, and I’m finally getting around to it.

1. So Batman can have someone to talk to.
2. So Batman can have someone not to talk to.
3. Younger readers can identify with Robin.
4. Robin displays a broad range of emotions.
5. He slips, he falls!
6. Robin, the Boy Hostage!
7. Under age and undercover!
8. Comic relief!
9. Robin is still a kid.
10. Robin isn’t evil.

Some of those postings connect on to other essays. And eventually, I suppose, lead back to here.
