Robin

A sad attempt to turn the batman comic books more child-friendly. More than likely a parent complained about the Batman comic books being dark, so the writers decided to add in some annoying, child sidekick to make it more kid-friendly. Thus began the age of the campy-ness.
Robin seemed to be more of a burden than an actual help to Batman and he was constantly given weird lines like "HOLY BEJEZZUS BATMAN!". Its like they wanted to make the Batman comic books(and soon to be tv show and fims) a little more gay

Parent: batman is too dark and Im worried that it might make my kids do something bad
Writer: Well what do you want us to do?
Parent: Add a cute,little, gay, child sidekick named Robin or after a cute little bird. Night birds are too scary
Writer: Ok, I mean what harm can a annoying sidekick do to the Batman franchise in the future?
