Robin, I know rejection can be difficult to deal with...
You might lash out, or become verbally abusive to those who don't deserve it...

But just be careful not to move too quickly into something you might regret...


Oh, sure Robin: there's probably no clubs, raves, loft parties, or anything like that in Gotham, I'm sure you and Mr. Purple Shirt will have lots of fun at the barn dance. I don't think they need 'psychedelic lighting' either, 'cause the angle of that roof is freaking me out here...

The first two panels are from Batman #330, "Target!" Written by Marv Wolfman, art by Irv Novick and Vince Colletta. Robin's come back from wasting umpteen years at college, and is having trouble working with Batman again. Batman's got his own problems though, as a condemned mobster has put a ten million bounty on his head, if carried out before the mobster is executed. Talia guests, mostly just to run up the tension between Batman and Robin.

The last one is from Super-Team Family #1 and a reprinted Teen Titans story, "Stepping Stones for a Giant Killer!" Written by Mike Friedrich, art by Gil Kane and Wally Wood.
