Nah. Haven't you heard? Batman goes through side kicks like popping
quaaludes. If Robin got dispatched, it would just cause him to go
find ANOTHER teenage boy with dead parents to put in the costume. Kind
of plays up the fetish and obsession angle, huh?

Hmm... So you think perhaps it's society's steady diet of Batman comics
that has let to such contemporary symptoms as milk cartons bearing the
legend "Have you seen this child?"
