10 Reasons Why Robin Is The Hero Gotham Deserves

3. A Life Away From Superheroics

With some of the previous facts on this list, It’s clear that Batman is dedicated to his work. On many occasions Batman has stated that the playboy millionaire personality is the job, The cowl is the life. Many of the Robins on the other hand have always put the life without the cape first.

Dick Grayson successfully had a career as a Cop, keeping his finger in the crime fighting pie but also showing that having a healthy, happy personality allows for a less broody but no less successful approach to truth and justice.

It does need to be noted however that Tim Drake did forego his social life but only to look after an ill father as well as an education. When it came down to it, Tim made the right call on more than one occasion to ensure the welfare of his family, moving to the Nightwing territory of Bludhaven to care for and stay close to his stepmother after the death of his father Jack.

There is no doubt that Bruce Wayne cares, the fact a Robin exists is proof of this. When it comes down to it though, the responsibility needed to raise a ward and protect the people he cares about is always going to be one delegated to someone who hasn't got bats on the brain.
