Bullshit. I've heard that standard industry line again and again and I've never bought into that. No kid wants to be the sidekick. They want to be the hero. When I was a kid, I never wanted to be Robin, and neither did any of my friends. We wanted to be the heroes, not the useless, boring sidekicks.
its not that the kid actually is robin, or even wants to become robin. batman is still the cool sunhumma bitch.
robin is just an access point to that character -- the kids eyes and ears to batman.
to paraphrase a quote from batman returns:
grimm, i believe the word you're looking for is 'aaaaahhhh!'
