Robin's Hood

Why does everyone seem to think the problem with Robin is that he's not bad ass enough? I think the Robin from Batman: Arkham City is totally ridiculous. The hood works for Damian because of the nature of his character, but for any other Robin it just feels unnecessary. He also has the shaved head from Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, and we all know how great THOSE Robins were. The appeal of Robin is his contrast to Batman. Batman is dark; Robin is bright. Batman is large; Robin is small. I think the last people to really understand Robin were Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. Dark Victory offers a Robin who seems like he's 1/8 the size of Batman. They didn't shy away from Robin's characteristics, they embraced them. I love how Robin is depicted in that book. When I play Arkham City, it doesn't feel like that's Robin. It feels like it's just some guy in a hood. Why put Robin in the game if it's Robin in name only?
