10 Batman Moments That Shocked The World

Stephanie Brown should probably have never become Robin. The fact that she only took up the mantle after Tim Drake had been forced to hang up his cape, it's safe to say that when Batman found out that she was running around pretending to be the Girl Wonder, he should've sent her packing.

But against his better judgment, he took her in and trained her before firing her after she ignored his instructions while out in the field. This made Stephanie eager to prove herself to the Dark Knight and this set in motion the events that would become War Games.

If inadvertently unleashing a citywide gang war on Gotham wasn't bad enough, she was captured by the Black Mask who tortured her extensively, trying to extract information out of her about Batman. And even though she resisted and eventually escaped the clutches of Roman Sionis, the trauma of it would be too much for her and she would die in the hospital from her injuries.

And all of this could've been averted if Bruce Wayne had just told her to go home.
