Batman, more that anybody, is synonymous with sidekicks. Robins are legendary. But does Batman need them? In my opinion they have always been there to watch his back. Batman has proven time and again he needs no back up so therefore sidekicks are a distraction. He can't always protect them and after the death of Jason, he should see the futility of keeping them around. As a huge Batman fan I see him as the perfection of man. A icon that needs back up. If he ever did I'm sure all readers would agree his prep and gadgets would be all the assistance he needs.Yet he constantly brings in new recruits. Why is that?
