Robin the Boy Wonder is the eager, youthful sidekick of Batman, the Caped Crusader, the vigilante crime-fighting alias of millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne. Introduced in 1940 as orphaned acrobat Dick Grayson in the DC comic book series Batman, Robin was played by Burt Ward in the 1966 television series on ABC.
As played by Burt Ward, Robin has a cute, boyish face, clean-cut, brown hair, and a compact, athletic physique which fits perfectly with his character's acrobatic background. His colorful outfit, with his dark green mask, gloves, and booties, his bright, red shirt, his shiny, yellow cape, his tight, green panties, and his form-fitting, flesh-color leggings, certainly catches the audience's attention.
Due to his youth, inexperience, and smaller size, the Boy Wonder is clearly the weak link in the Dynamic Duo, which their opponents often seek to exploit. Robin is also cocky, enthusiastic, and overly eager to prove his independent crime-fighting abilities, especially to Batman. He is often in trouble and in need of rescue.
This week's villain is Joker.
In the first episode, Batman and Robin are roped and tied by Joker's henchmen. The Dynamic Duo is then placed into a concrete silo into which poisonous gas is pumped.
In the next episode, Batman and Robin press their backs together and together manage to walk up the walls of the concrete silo and over the top to their escape.
No good Robin solo scenes !!!
ReplyDeleteThe Boy Wonder is still good eye candy. :-) Having Robin in costume with adequate screen time is enough to keep me coming back, but my favorites are when he acts independently, and when he gets into trouble. The former almost inevitably leads to the latter.
