Robin in the Hat Factory 2 by bondageincomics

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 four-picture series "Robin in the Hat Factory" was commissioned from bondageincomics through DeviantART in 2019.  

This picture was inspired by the episode "Batman Stands Pat", featuring the villainous Mad Hatter, who intends to avenge himself upon Batman for his testimony against him at trial.  The Mad Hatter's plan is to put Batman through the torturous agonies of his hat factory and to keep the Caped Crusader's cowl as a souvenir.

In this whimsical alternative, the Mad Hatter fails to capture Batman but manages to keep Robin as a consolation prize.  Perhaps the Boy Wonder can be used to test the efficacy of the hat factory's various devices before it is used on its intended subject.

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.
