Yeah, I think DC went overboard with the Robins. They should've stopped with Tim Drake because he's the only one who I think earned the title. Too many Batgirls as well.

No problem.

I don't know the way I see it is Dick is Greg, Barbara is Marcia, Jason is Peter, Cassandra is Jane, Tim is Bobby, and Stephanie is Cindy. Oh, and Bruce&Selina and Alfred are Mike&Carol and Alice.

A guy who has sexual involvement with both adult women and kids is still a paedo.

**wickedrum** · 10-11-2019, 04:24 PM

Agreed

And Batman's association with those kids is mighty suspicious. Particularly when you consider subtext. With the exception of Jubilee and Kitty Pryde I never had much time for kid sidekicks anyway. Robin, Bucky, Rick Jones... annoying.

Because Margot Robbie is popular.

**PhoenixRising** · 10-12-2019, 02:42 PM

Because Hollywood wants to whore itself out to Margot Robbie, how's that?

I get what you mean, sum1. Bill Finger never agreed with the creation of Robin either. He felt that Batman should be a loner, and that he already had a "Dr. Watson" figure to explain his conclusions to with Alfred Pennyworth. That's the reason that Robin was created in the first place, did you know? He was a Watson to Batman's Sherlock Holmes. That, and comics were really obsessed with sidekicks back then. The superhero sidekick was supposed to be the avatar for the adolescent comic book reader so he could imagine fighting side by side his favorite hero, but it was still a stupid idea. Captain Marvel, Captain America, Human Torch, Aquaman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman all had sidekicks.

It was a very stupid idea. The heroes should be avatars enough for the readers.

And I like Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn.

**PhoenixRising** · 10-12-2019, 04:54 PM

I get it. But Harley Quinn still doesn't belong with the Birds of Prey. If Margot wanted to be a headliner, she shouldn't just done a stand alone Harley Quinn movie called "The Marvelous Emancipation of Harley Quinn."

Batman is already a disturbing hero.

**PhoenixRising** · 10-13-2019, 03:33 PM

Yeah, now you know they're just running out of ideas.

Nice, sum1.

The Flash got killed again? How many times is this now?
