Script for an upcoming TikTok video of mine about why the duo of Batman and Robin means so much to me:
Why the batman and robin duo does and always will mean so much to me. This is probably going to be a longer video so please strap in as this video is also going to be pretty personal since i will be bringing up comparisons between myself and these characters. And to be clear when i say robins i dont just mean dick grayson or jason todd etc i mean every person who has carried the robin mantle.
So first and foremost iāll just talk about the much less ādeepā or personal reason is i grew up with batman and robin, i grew up shows like the 90s batman cartoon, batman brave and the bold or the little lego batman shorts stuff of that sort. Batman and robin have been a constant throughout my life where there hasnāt always been one. As a kid i wanted to be robin, not as much as i wanted to be batman, spider-man or thor but it was definitely up there. I wanted to be that kid i saw fighting crime along the coolest person in the world to me doing flips and making the city a better place. Now of course the robin mantle is so much more than that but thats what i saw as a kid, a kid just like me helping the batman make the world a better place not letting his age or size stop him from making the world a better place because thats what the world needs and thats what he wanted to do.
As stated seconds ago Batman and robin have always been a constant throughout my life especially in the last few months and itās really done a lot for me. In the last few months iāve been very uncertain about many things including if I really have any friends and no this isnt being said to vent iāve worked through said feeling now which iāll get back to later. I said all this because when i wasnt sure what would be going on around me or who iād have around me I could always pick up a comic or watch a show and see the dynamic duo working through their own struggles as well as the struggles of the citizens of gotham which not only gave me an escape but also as i said before gave me a constant something i can look for when im unsure about things.
Yet another reason Batman and robin means so much to me is the relationship they have with eachother especially that of bruce and tim drake. Tim drake came into bruceās life at one of his worst moments as he was dealing with the guilt of losing jason todd his adopted son who he saw much of himself in and because of it wasnāt quite acting to himself. He was being even more aggressive and impatient and becoming a person the bruce from just a few months ago would have barely recognized, eventually the young tim drake had noticed this and with his intelligence was able to find out the first robin or nightwing was dick grayson and the batman was bruce wayne. He realized batman needs a robin, robin is the light counterbalancing the dark in bruce inspiring him to be a better person not only for himself and for gotham but so that robin doesnt have to witness the more agressive things batman do without him and because of that tim drake eventually become robin. Now i promise that leads somewhere. In the past two ish months i havent really liked the person iāve been, iāve felt as if iāve been much more sensitive and irritable. I feel as though ive lashed out more oftenly and more easily as well. And if i wasnt doing something in that area you could probably find me alone in my room either crying to myself or just doomscrolling distancing myself from the people around me. All things iād like to say isnāt who i am nor who i want to be. But during this time there was one person who wasnāt always there for me but was still there for me when i most needed them to be who iāve recently begun to think as my tim drake the person who helped me go back to the person i want to be and if that person is watching and has made it this far i hope they know iām talking about them.
I could go on and on about why batman and robin mean as much as they do to me but i feel as though iāve gotten my point across also i only write scripts well past midnight and i kind of have to start fixing my sleep schedule so this is where iāll be ending this video. I want to reiterate this is not a cry for help nor a vent post i believe to have worked through the feelings i mentioned throughout this post itās simply me demonstrating my appreciation for the duo and why exactly they mean so much to me. If youāve watched this far thank you so much and have a great day or night and if you make comic content i hope you make a video about why your favourite character or characters mean as much to you as they do.
