Beguile All Men

Beguile All Men

Robin the Boy Wonder is the eager, youthful sidekick of Batman, the Caped Crusader, the vigilante crime-fighting alias of millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.  Introduced in 1940 as orphaned acrobat Dick Grayson in the DC comic book series Batman, Robin was played by Burt Ward in the 1966 television series on ABC.

Due to his youth, inexperience, and smaller size, the Boy Wonder is clearly the weak link in the Dynamic Duo, which their opponents often seek to exploit.  Robin is also cocky, enthusiastic, and overly eager to prove his independent crime-fighting abilities, especially to Batman.  He is often in trouble and in need of rescue.

The picture "Beguile All Men" was commissioned from the artist jackcrowder through DeviantART in 2015.

This picture was inspired by the episode "The Wail of the Siren", when Siren enchanted Bruce Wayne's mind to fight Robin, and the Boy Wonder won.

I would have preferred a lengthier fight, with Bruce Wayne using Batman's fighting ability against the cute, cocky, colorful Robin.  Gotham City's athletic, acrobatic, youthful crime-fighter, the Boy Wonder, being manhandled by a rich millionaire playboy in a suit.  

This picture is fan art and is intended to promote the appreciation of Burt Ward's portrayal of Robin in the 1966 television series "Batman".  This is an original scene and did not appear in the movie, the television series, or any other derivative material.
