Old Man Robin: An Infographic History Of The Boy Wonder’s First 75 Years

It’s hard to believe that everyone’s favorite sidekick is turning a quarter of a century old this year.  (That means he was created in 1986 according to #jennymath.)  DC is celebrating by adding Robin’s name into the title of Season Two of Batman Eternal.  Also, this December look for a 5 week crossover event between Gotham Academy, Robin: Son of Batman and We Are Robin, entitled “Robin War”.
