Quote: Grimm said: No, he's a distraction away from Batman. Instead of the Dark Knight, he becomes Adam West.
how so?
nearly every modern day bat-tale has featured a robin to some extent. hell, the batman in dark knight returns, perhaps the grimmest of them all (to steal your namesake) was hardly adam west, despite not only utilizing a robin, but a girl robin.
i guess it just depends on what kinda stories you're looking for. robin can be worked into some, but not others.
fits well in DKR, but perhaps not so in year one (despite the chronological order). i can't imagine a robin working, at all, in any of the batman films, particularly 'batman begins.'
however, he worked damn near perfectly in every instance of the 50+ episodes he costarred within the animated series.
dismissing the concept all together as useless is unnecessarily rash.
