I've often wondered why Robin was necessary? Batman seemed compelling enough to carry the title on his own. And those early bat stories were pretty adult.  Lots of stabbing and shooting that you don't typically see in "kids" funny books. 

I have to imagine DC thought Robin would appeal to a broader audience. 

Or maybe batman needed someone to save?  Superman had Lois Lane and batman got the boy wonder.

Usually these decisions are based on what they thought would generate sales.  In 1940 this was probably a sure thing in their minds.  Today, we'd turn him into a female, and give the hero more guns.

Something to ponder: Robin had more GA appearances than Batman, and he didn't even make it into Detective Comics until 11 issues after Batman.

Wow.  Thanks for sharing.  That's hard to "unsee" and I don't know if I should laugh, or scream.

Robin is on the cover of the Cgc 9.4.  Nuff said.

Robin eventually grew up and gave us the hottest thing in the entire Bat-family, Nightwing's butt. Thus, Robin has had more value than most other comic characters in existence. Fact.

The Batman was a bad-a creature of the night. Then came Robin came along and Batman became like a Scout Master that's got a class action suit against him. 

That's all

Verifiably untrue, Etta Candy is the worst.

I would have thought Doiby Dickles, because there aren't a lot of good Green Lantern covers, but yes, you're right. Etta is terrible.

Dolby Dickles takes suck to a new level and don’t get me started on the Green Lanterns side kicks
