10 Insane Alternate Robins You Won't Believe!

10. Bruce Wayne Junior

Long before Damian Wayne came along to shake up Bruce's world as a new dad, several older storylines explored the idea of Bruce having a son and training him as Robin.

Starting in 1960, a series of in-universe stories written by Alfred Pennyworth told a story of Bruce Wayne marrying Kathy Kane (that era's Batwoman) and having a son named Bruce Jr. When Bruce retires, Dick Grayson steps up to become Batman 2, while Bruce Jr. (Bru Ju?) becomes Robin 2, completing a new duo.

An Elseworlds story from 1997 lays out a future where Bruce marries Catwoman. They have a son, again called Bruce Jr., who was trained from birth to be a superhero and eventually become Robin to Tim Drake's Batman.

In a story full of comic book fan-service, a 1996 Captain America / Batman crossover envisions Batman and Cap teaming up in the 1940s to take on Joker and Red Skull. Cap is subsequently frozen and wakes up in the '90s to find that Batman has aged and retired, Dick Grayson has become Batman, and Bruce Jr. is the new Robin.

Given Bruce's playboy persona, who knows how many other potential Robins may be out there?
