HOW DID BATMAN DO IT WITH ROBIN?
Sorry, I had to get your attention, but I swear it's relevant, just follow me.
Have you ever walked with kids? Not like, for a stroll, like power walked from point A to B possibly trying to respect a specific time frame. Because I have, actually I do, every day! With two lovely hyperactive (not even high level) 8/9 year old kids. And guess what? It's COMPLETE CHAOS. It's a very intense frame of time where you are simultaneously aware of 58 different inputs around you, their possible outcome, while you talk, listen, and control your movements and the movements of other two very unpredictable little human beings. It's all about holding back little arms, push forward little shoulders, give directions (probably repeatedly), scold and reprimand (again, a lot) and saving from last second falls or predicting the obvious miss steps.
Now tell me...HOW THE HELL COULD BATMAN MANAGE IT WITH A ROBIN!? -(with Dick specifically)
How do you patrol, with a kid that would climb anywhere, have the attention span of a butterfly, potentially chat or hum when he's supposed to be silent, and will generally need you to be there every 2 minutes to make sure he's not killing himself by_ honestly probably whatever you didn't expect, maybe get his head stuck between bars to look inside a window or something. ?
And that's also why it's kind of plausible honestly. Because this kind of kids won't really get in danger with the expected things like cars or strangers (so the bad guys and such). Nope. They find their own danger, the unexpected one. Can I swing from that pole directly over the other kids? Let's find out. I could land on them and hurt the both of us? Oh, right. But see, it didn't happen. Yes there was sharp glass on the wall we just climbed the tree to get over it.
By the way. I'm not batman, I have TWO potential Robins, but no money of skill to train them. That sucks :/ .
