How about this great story from BATMAN 217 (Story by Frank Robbins, art by Irv Novick and Dick Giordano. Cover below by Neal Adams)


This is the story where Dick Grayson finally graduates high school and goes to college.

It only took the kid 30 years to graduate high school !



It was reprinted recently in the BATMAN IN THE 60'S trade.

BATMAN 217 (Jan 1970) and DETECTIVE 395 (December 1969) were the official end of the "camp" Batman, and the official beginning of the return to the creature-of-the-night Batman. So dumping Robin was something of a necessity.
