Robin, a superhero named after a migratory songbird that you can find in your backyard and feed bird seed to. Can someone tell us why they would name Batman’s sidekick after a songbird? What do bats have to do with robins anyway? Is there some connection that we’re missing here? Bats and Robins can both fly, something neither Batman or Robin can do by the way, but other than that the two have nothing in common. Robins aren’t even nocturnal. The funny thing is, Robin is one of the first superheroes ever created. (granted "super" is a stretch here). Its not like they were running out of cool bird names for superheroes at that point. We’re pretty sure Hawkman was still Or even the Blue Falcon. So we’re left with the simple question: Why Robin? Were they trying to “gay up” batman? Was he too scary for little kids? Was the creator of the dynamic duo some sort of closet bird watcher? We may never know the answer.
