Batman, Robin, and Mr. Freeze

Batman, Robin, and Mr. Freeze

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 "Batman, Robin, and Mr. Freeze by bondageincomics" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2019.  


This picture was inspired by the episode "A Death Worse Than Fate", featuring the villain Victor Fries, PhD, also known as Mr. Freeze.  After Batman agreed to surrender himself in exchange for the safe return of a hostage, the cute, cocky, colorful, crime-fighting sidekick follows him to a secret lair but is captured.  Mr. Freeze then invites Batman and Robin to dine with him on roast beef and baked Alaska.  In this whimsical alternative story line, Mr. Freeze has another sinister surprise in store for Batman.


This picture is fan art and 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.
