DC’s Batman Reboot Can Finally Fix A Decades-Old Comic Issue

The upcoming DC Universe movie Batman: The Brave and the Bold has the potential to address one of the most frustrating and long-standing issues in Batman comics, allowing for the live-action adaptation to be more consistent than its written counterpart. For decades, one of the most inconsistent aspects of Batman comics has been the character’s treatment of his sidekicks. Throughout the years, the relationships between Batman and his Robins have ranged from supportive and fatherly, to distant and even hostile, often reflecting the writer’s perspective or the story’s requirements at the time.
