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.

Wolverine is the alias of James Howlett, a mutant who possesses animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, powerful regenerative ability known as a healing factor, and three retractable claws in each hand.  He joined the X-Men, appearing in the Marvel comic book series in 1975, the animated television series in 1992, and various films, starting in 2000.  Wolverine has emerged as a fan favorite and has starred in his own comic books and films.

The five-picture series "Wolverine vs. Robin by st00pz" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2016.

This series was inspired by a scene from the 1948 film Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, with Robin taking the part of Dracula, played by Bela Lugosi, and Wolverine taking the part of the Wolf Man, played by Lon Chaney, Jr.

Like the sophisticated, elegantly caped Dracula against the hairy Wolf Man, the cute, cocky, colorful, crime fighter Robin appears to be outmatched against Wolverine.

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".  I introduced Wolverine as a potential antagonist.  This is an original scene and did not appear in the movie, the television series, or any other derivative material.
