Robin or the Boy Wonder wasn’t in at the start with Batman but appeared in Detective Comics #38 (Batman appeared in issue 27). He was instantly popular and sales of Batman related comics doubled. Like Batgirl, Robin is not just one character. In his first incarnation he was Dick Grayson and appeared in the comics from 1940 up until the early 1980s. The role of Robin was actually inspired by the character of Robin Hood.
Dick Grayson was an acrobat as a child and both his parents died when they fell from a trapeze which had been sabotaged. Bruce Wayne (Batman) took him in and he insisted on becoming his partner.
Robin was also intended to be to Batman as Watson was to Sherlock Holmes.
In 1988 Jason Todd debuted as Robin and made regular appearances until 1989 when he was murdered by the Joker.
From 1991 Tim Drake became Robin and even had his own comic series. The fourth incarnation of Robin was the first female version as Stephanie Brown, Tim Drake’s girlfriend, previously known as the Spoiler. She was very short-lived as Robin Girl Wonder and was stripped of her identity by Batman and killed by the Black Mask (the death was actually just a ruse).
After her apparent death, Tim Drake again took up his role as Robin. The last incarnation of Robin is when Bruce Wayne’s son, Damian Wayne, rescues Tim Drake from death and takes up the role of the Boy Wonder himself. At this time, the retired Robin, Dick Grayson, takes up the cloak of Batman while Bruce Wayne recovers from a spinal injury.
The Robin character has not just been the sidekick to Batman. Robin/Dick Grayson was a founding member of the Teen Titans superhero group. Originally leading the group as Robin, he later felt he would always be in Batman’s shadow as Robin and so he took on the identity of Nightwing with a new costume. As already stated, he took over as Batman for a time. Robin/Tim Drake is the current leader of the Teen Titans.
I hope you find an adult Robin costume which you love!

I love the Sexy Robin Costume, it’s really hot! I don’t think there’ll be crimes around the city when you’ve got a superhero dressed in that. This outfit is soooo perfect for Halloween!
