10 Worst Things Batman Has Done To Robin

3. Torturing Him

Batman Hits Robin

There has been genuine speculation by fans that Frank Miller's All-Star Batman and Robin was a parody comic. Although it seems unlikely to be true, there's something about watching Batman kidnap Dick Grayson, immediately put him into a life-or-death car chase, and then trap him in the Batcave making him eat rats to survive that makes you hope it might be true.

As it stands, it's not, and so the treatment of Robin in the series is possibly the worst thing within it - which is impressive when you remember this is the comic where one of Joker's minions has literal swastikas tattooed on her literal breasts.

Worse yet, Robin is still ten in this series, and so every awful thing done to him is being done to a boy who is just old enough to learn to tie his shoes.

All this in mind, it makes complete sense that in this comic the Justice League are after Batman - and we can only hope Child Protective Services are, too.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
