Batman..................?

Okay so how come when ever a new TV show or video game or movie comes out starring Batman, Robin isn't even in it? I mean Robin is just as important as Batman even if he is a sidekick. I feel they should give credit to Robin too!Batman..................?
OH MY GOSH I TOTALLY AGREE!!! I hate that so much.It's like they're trying to make everyone forget about him. I personally think robin needs to have his own video game.
And when Robin does get his own comic, the art is never top notch. Give him that, a decent love interest, and kill her off after a few years of amping up their relationship, and you'd have a properly revenge-obsessed Robin. That might get my attention. Right now he's just lame.

Uh, actually, Robin ISN'T as important. That's why it took 70 years for them to think of making a comic titled "Batman and Robin". What did you think sidekick meant? "A sidekick is a close companion who is generally regarded as subordinate to the one he accompanies." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidekick

A sidekick is a supporting character, usually introduced to drum up interest when sales flag. Also, traditionally the presence of a sidekick shows that the main hero a parental figure, and thus a proper role model.

Now doesn't that make Robin look like a pretty lame concept?

Hey, if he's so important, why does Dick Grayson go by the name Nightwing these days. Why have there been 5 robins over the years? And why does no Robin comic ever last very long?

Because interest in the character is known to wane from time to time. Look at Tim Burton's Batman movies. The introduction of Robin was the death knell of the series. Burton knew it, which is why someone else produced "Batman and Robin".

Actually, it was the camp element that didn't go well with the inclusion of Robin, but you get the idea.

I have lots more on this subject, but you probably already hate me enough. Look, Batman really is a lot better without him. And he's better off without Batman, at least most of the time. That's why Nightwing has had so much more lasting power than any Robin series. If Batman is going to have a partner, something needs to be done to make the character stand out on his own. He needs to be made more equal. Who's with me here?

Edit: Actually, I like the video game idea. I also think Robin should have his own team, one with A-list characters who accept him as leader, and no sidekicks. That would go a long way towards making him stand out on his own.
Robin is only featured with batman if there's character development between these 2 heroes.


Also for the dark knight rises, robin was just a baby during the time period.Batman..................?
