Does Batman still need a Robin?

I personally don't think he needs one. Batman has enough sidekicks already and the whole Robin thing doesn't fit in this age imo. Not to mention theres Red Robin who is basically a Robin 2.0 with red in his name and costume.

I'm pretty sure Blue Bird has been set up to fill in as "Robin"

Batman needs a Robin but he should be old enough and trained.

My biggest issue with Robins is, they all die and then get revived and when the former happens they get replaced way to damn fast.

Yes. Obviously he isn't going to die or not be able to function without one but robins are good for batman. We have bluebird coming and a robin that will be brought back, likely Damian (too obvious IMO), Stephanie (I hope its her) or Carrie Kelley (she hasn't had enough appearances or hype for it to be her IMO but it's possible.

To many Robns goddamn it.

I don't think Batman takes in a Robin because he "needs" somebody at this point. He's got Dick and Alfred and Barbra. Occasionally, if he needs help, then Jason and Tim will come help even if they aren't really speaking to Bruce.

He takes in people that need help.

Batman doesn't need Robin. Whoever is Robin needs Bruce.

Except arguably Tim. Tim probably didn't need Bruce.

No, I never liked the Robin concept because it place kids in dangerous situations and it makes it looks like anyone could do what Batman does.

Batman should always have a Robin, I understand that there I some that think the whole concept is silly with the whole child endangerment and all but it's a staple of the Batman mythos and franchise, they should never take that away. Batman is at his best when he has a Robin by his side imo

Screw it, I change my answer to no. Tim tried to say that he does but he only needed someone at that time because he was angry over Jason dying. I agree he just takes in whoever wants to and needs him at the time. He can function perfectly fine without a robin.

No its time to retire the whole sidekick thing just let Batman be his own freaking character without him having some brat tag along you will most likely die then we will have to deal with Bruce continued brooding about it until the next meat shield comes along

DIck Grayson should really be the only Robin.

The whole "Batman needs a Robin" thing had done no favors to either Bruce's or Dick's characters.

Yes but not right now. He should have a couple team ups with Nightwing for a while...wait -_-

He needs the Batfamily.

But i dont think he needs another sidekick.

Batman always needs more sidekicks. They just grow up too darn fast.

New 52 has basically done away with the concept of robin, besides damian. I don't like it, changes batman changes everyone around batman.

The only logical solution is to bring back Damian as Robin, if someone else becomes Robin it will look bad.

Agreed
