10 Weirdest Comic Fan Theories You Won’t Believe Exist
2. Robin Was Created To Stop (And Possibly Kill) Batman
Perhaps the most plausible theory surrounding Batman has to be a popular point of speculation regarded why Batman trains Robins - as it posits that this isn't to help them, but rather to create a kind of failsafe for himself.
Aware of his predilection towards brooding and ruminating over his own dark side, Bruce purposefully finds plucky youngsters to train against criminals, all the while aware that, should he go rogue, it will likely be one of his own adopted children that will take him down.
While many also theorise the Justice League would be the ones who would have to put the Dark Knight down were he to turn evil, it makes far more sense that Robin would be the one to do the deed. After all, who knows Batman's fighting style better than the person who battles alongside him every night?
Given that Bruce has an undeniably paternal relationship with every single Robin, it's also much more likely that he'd pause at the concept of maiming or killing one of his kids - a luxury Superman is unlikely to receive.
