Robin on a Plaster Horse

Robin on a Plaster Horse by st00pz
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 "Robin on a Plaster Horse by st00pz" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2016.

This picture was inspired by the episode "Batman Stands Pat", featuring Jervis Tetsch, also known as the Mad Hatter.  While Robin is immobilized by the Mad Hatter's mesmerizing hat, Batman is trapped in quick-drying plaster.  The Boy Wonder is tied helplessly to a plaster horse as the villain turns his attention towards retrieving Batman's cowl.  

In this picture, the Mad Hatter tickles the Boy Wonder's bare foot.


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.
