“Invented in 1940, Robin has continued to illuminate, since its creation, the adventures of the dark Batman and, more broadly, of the “superheroic genre”. As it celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, it is time to look at this great figure of eternal youth who, throughout his evolution, presented different faces of childhood, both young sidekick prey to the fear of abandonment or adolescent in full rebellion. This present work is therefore especially dedicated to his journey in comics, as well as that of his friends who allowed young readers to symbolically support their favorite heroes. Under their gaze, it is quite a portrait. in the hollow that is outlined: that of multi-faceted vigilantes, at the same time mentors, friends and grown-ups themselves. Because, far from being simple stooges, Robin, and others are undeniable proof of this part. Childishness that superheroes continue to maintain in themselves and in us." Camille Baurin
