Comedians have been making jokes about the romantic proclivities of Batman’s junior sidekick, Robin, for decades. But now comic book publisher DC Comics has officially re-written the character as bisexual.
While his sexuality isn’t explicitly stated, in the latest edition of the DC anthology series “Batman: Urban Legends #6” Robin’s alter ego Tim Drake accepts a date with a young man named Bernard he has just rescued from a villain known as Chaos Monster. The story, titled “Sum of Our Parts,” ends with Bernard asking, “Tim Drake, do you want to go on a date with me?” Tim/Robin responds, “Yeah … yeah, I think I want that.”
