Dick Grayson, as the Robin, fights crime alongside his mentor, Batman.

History

When the Batman TV series became suddenly popular, Batman and Robin's workload increased, because of an increase in new super-villains and super-heroes inspired by the show (the Dynamic Duo had to save the new heroes from their own incompetence). One of these cases involved heroes Ratman (Jerry Lewis) and Rotten (Renfrew) and the villain Kangaroo (Witch Kraft). At the end of the case, Batman let the Kangaroo go, because she was only doing it to teach Ratman a lesson -- and because she had captured the Joker, the Penguin and the Riddler for him! Robin then borrowed the Kangaroo's broom to whack Rotten, who (despite being a hero) had been pretty awful the whole time.

Robin visited the DC Comics offices to object to Irwin Donenfeld calling himself the "Boy Wonder". They fought and Robin lost, because Donenfeld is the big boss (even though he was drawn as a small child).

A malfunctioning match-making computer (sabotaged by Super-Hip) suggested that Batman and Nancy Ritz might be a romantic match. While Batman and Robin did travel to Benedict Arnold High School to meet Nancy (much to Robin's disgust), the relationship did not proceed further.

Notes

• This version of Robin, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–1986 crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the 2022-2023 crossover event Dark Crisis. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
• This Robin is a mix of the counterparts of Earth-One and the 1966 TV series.
