Robin, Action Hero, Revisited: He merits affection


A few days ago I found Robin, a small action figure, sitting in a low crook in my neighbour’s tree. Poor Robin.


During his career related to crime fighting, in comic books and TV, his partner, the unstoppable Batman, received much of the glory.


And today, as a small action figure (with holes in his shoes), he seems forlorn and forgotten, especially when found outdoors without good boots.

I feel he deserves better.
