10 Worst Things Batman Has Done To Robin
2. Blowing Him Up
Batman: Odyssey is one of the weirder Batman comics to date, containing a man who can turn into bees, several domesticated dinosaurs, and a wizard who speaks in 1940s slang, to name but a few parts of the wild read. If you've ever wanted to see Batman unironically use the phrase "jazz magician", now is your time to shine.
It's entirely possible this comic was written by picking words out of a hat and making them into a story, which is the only logical way writers would have Batman knowingly kill Robin in an explosion, and then feel literally zero remorse for it afterwards. Honestly, the whole interaction is absolutely hilarious, as the speed with which Batman goes for the detonation button makes you wonder if he'd been looking for any excuse to get rid of his ward up until now.
Robin appearing in the next issue doesn't even excuse it, as he literally states he wasn't sure if Batman would blow the place up before he could escape, showing us that the fact he isn't dead is more down to lucky timing than anything else.
