Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aldarc" data-source="post: 9737807" data-attributes="member: 5142">Bruce Timm nevertheless has said that he dislikes Dick Grayson, and IMHO it shows. Bruce Timm tries to get rid of him by having Dick be in college during this time. The only reason Dick or any of the other Robins were in the series because the network demanded episodes with Robin. Bruce Timm really isn't that involved in the two-parter Robin's Reckoning. He's neither the writer nor director for those episodes.But in general, it seems like there was a generation that hated Robin. Robin gets pretty regularly ignored or marginalized in a lot of popular Batman depictions in movies, which I think is to Batman's detriment in the popular zeitgeist. It's why people joke that Batman seems to be a manchild stuck in arrested development.But it was not without some glaring flaws.</blockquote>
