Batman
Character » Batman appears in 23637 issues.
Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
Robin
@xBIGjakeX360: That was the point of Robin, to be a distraction from the true threat Batman. And the colors are a contrast to Batman, Robin is the light that balanced his darkness.
And Dick named Robin, as shown in Dark Victory. He used a childhood nickname from his mother.
Because target didn't roll off the tongue as well as Robin did. Batman and Target didn't work so they went with Batman and Robin. Target came at a close second though.
@xBIGjakeX360: @ArturoCalaKayVee:
On an hilarious unrelated note, Dick eventually uses the name Target for a vigilante persona.

I dunno. I can totally see them naming a character Target.
They kinda do with The Human Target being listed as an alias of Christopher Chance and Tom McFadden. :p

Dick Grayson's already had the name Target used, when he couldn't operate as Nightwing. :p

Why couldn't he operate as Nightwing?
@ArturoCalaKayVee: Batman told him it best he retire it after he is framed as officer Grayson for the death of a man by several corrupt Bludhaven cops. He then becomes the Target and clears his name.

I love how people with under 10 posts always start topics complaining.
Imagine you're a perp, you're doing a job in Gotham...
You're nervous enough as it is, then there's a crash and it's raining glass, there's a ball of color bouncing around the room, you can't get a bead on it.
It's laughing???
It's talking to the shadows???
wtf? The shadows are talking back? Growling orders to it?
Suddenly the shadows are suffocating you, striking you, PAIN!
Can't get a bead on that blur of color, where's Joey? The blur of color bounces off him, he slumps, the shadows rise up above you ,oh God is that the Bat?
THE BAT IS REAL!
WHERE'S JOEY, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT BLUR OF COLOR?! IS IT LAUGHING AT YOU?!
POW!
You wake up, all you know is pain and the barrel of a GCPD cop's gun pointing at you.
That's pretty much how Robins costume works.
