10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Robin

10. Robin Has Always Been A Boy

This is a classic "wrong answer" but it isn't the general populace's fault. In pop culture, Dick Grayson is the de facto mould for Robin. One thing worth bearing in mind, however, is that he isn't the only Robin, and that not every Robin has been a man.

There have actually been three female Robins, and the most well-known is Carrie Kelly, the Robin from The Dark Knight Returns. She was also brought into the New 52 continuity with Batman and Robin #19, where she wears a Robin outfit for a Halloween party. Then there's Helena Wayne of Earth-2, who was Robin in her reality before becoming the Huntress of ours, in the New 52.

The only true female Robin of Post-Crisis canon, though, is Stephanie Brown - the former pseudo-sidekick/villain to Robin, who had taken the mantle up at Tim's request. She would, however, become more popular in the role of Batgirl.
