Come on, we all know it: the Boy Wonder is easily the lamest superhero of all time. Yes, he was paired up with Batman, but it certainly wasn't for The Dark Knight's benefit. Robin was like one of those little fish you see sucked onto a shark's underbelly, just hanging around waiting for some scraps to fall from the jaws of the big guy. We all wanted to like Robin. We felt sympathy for him after the death of his family. But he was just so... nothing. I mean, Batman had no superpowers to speak of, but was still a superbly trained fighting machine, brilliant scientist and more. Robin could do somersaults. Yes, he eventually realised how lame he was and becomes Nightwing, but that's a different matter. Batman was a shining beacon of superherodom, and as Robin, Dick Grayson had so much to aim for with him to look up to. All that time spent as Robin and he just couldn't see how much of a wuss he was. His costume could just as easily have been worn by a girl, and that little cape has always annoyed me. What is it there for? What is its purpose? Batman's cape had multiple properties, for example. It may seem unfair to compare Robin to Batman always, but when they're part of a team it's hard not to. Robin is the lamest superhero ever because he had all the inspiration he needed to improve himself in Batman: but he just didn't have enough about him to try.
