How come there's no mentioning about his relationship with Barbara Gordon or any of his love life? HoneyBee 11:39, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Appealing to youngsters.

According to Bob Kane in his autobiography, it wasn't DC Comics who thought Robin would help appeal to youngsters, it was Kane and it seems mostly Bill Finger. Kane states that his then boss Jack Liebowitz didn't want Robin in the book and though mothers would be upset at a chile fighting gangsters. He allowed Kane and Finger a shot to prove him wronng and said if it went bad they would remove Robin from the book. After the positive responce to The Boy Wonder Kane joked to his boss that they better get rid of him now and his boss agreed to let Robin stay.

FWIW, Bob Kane's been noted for taking considerable credit for the Batman line that isn't really his. Not that Robin didn't turn out well, but I suspect Kane takes more credit than is deserved. Ipstenu 18:09, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
