Robin the Teen Wonder

This is a collection of Robin stories, featuring all the Robins, from how they took on the mantle to how they left it.

Robin's an old character.  I think Dick Grayson hits 60 this year so there has been a lot of ups and downs and with 4 Robins in this collection that's a long time chronologically.  Many of them I read as they were published, at least Jason Todd's fall and Tim Drake's ascent, but when they're all collected in one place Batman comes across as a bit of a jerk.  The reason for Dick leaving is petty, as is the decision to let Stephanie Brown take Tim Drake's position.  And reading of Jason's dramatic death, followed closely with Tim Drake pushing his way in was a little odd.  I wish there had been a bit more focus on what was done as Robin, rather than their origins but I guess that's what the Showcase specials are for.
