Controversial Batfamily Opinions

[AmiMizuno]

Is Robin’s colors of yellow,red and green to make him a target? I know that each robin has slightly different colors but still have standout colors

[Gotham citizen]

I answered to you here: Bat-family suit, because I fear we are off topic.

[Restingvoice]

Oh, continuing from the voice topic, the Batfam erases every record that can identify them. The most often cited is DNA. No one has their DNA records except them. If such records exist in the GCPD or hospitals, they'll steal or destroy them.

Does Julia count? Alfred's daughter

[Restingvoice]

Does Julia count? Alfred's daughter

She should be there but if she's not then I also forget about her when I rewrite the list.

60 then.

Isn’t the theme of Doom Patrol being the freaks and outcasts banding together?

I think you have them confused with The Outsiders.

[phantom1592]

Nahhhh That one of the core themes mentioned a few times with Doom Patrol. Made them very very similar to X-Men as they were 'freaks'. The Robotman… negative Man... the 'mutated' movie starlet... None had lives they could go back to... outside of Rita, none were going to get their pictures on a cereal box or anything. It was like the Fantastic Four if everyone was the Thing.

The Outsiders are a special strike team of superheroes. The Doom Patrol are outcasts.

[TheRay]

Even so, anyone can be described as an outcast given the right perspective.
For example, all of the Robins can easily be described as such because Batman had to take them in for one reason or another.

Tim and Dick cannot be described as outcasts by any definition of the word. Dick was taken in because Bruce felt sorry for him after his parents died and Tim was a suburban-raised kid who had his own circle of friends before he ever met Batman. Damian isn't an outcast just anti-social and Duke also had friends before he met Bruce.

The only Robin that is/was an outcast is Jason.

I don't know if I'd call him an outcast, but he definitely did not have a normal background before Bruce took him in, what with growing up in a carnival and never really settling down in one place.

I wouldn't say that made him isolated, but it set him apart from normal folks.

I simply disagree. At the very least it’s far too extreme to be accurate. Nightwing was seen as in danger of going down the same road as Batman, so he was, if he wasn’t already, at high risk of becoming an outcast. As for Red Robin, the case for him slightly more difficult to make, but having your own circle of friends doesn’t preclude you from being an outcast. That friend group could have been considered the outcasts of their school.

[AmiMizuno]

If we look at things emotional Bruce is somewhat more open with Dick than the other Robins. So in order to figure out who is the outcast, it would need to be compared to how they feel about each other and their training.

Not the same thing as actually being one. And Bruce's belief that Dick would go down the same road as him was based on no evidence not to mention Bruce isn't and never has been an outcast either.

There was no indication Tim and his friends were outcasts.

Outcasted by society. Considered freaks physically. So the Robins are not since they're more liked than Batman.
