The occasional adventures of the Dynamic Duo were prompted by the success of other TV portrayals of the team such as the Super Friends TV Series, but the conscious effort to keep them apart was stronger in the printed media. The Dynamic Duo would eventually come together for special adventures, which required the presence of both heroes. For almost the entire decade of the 1970s, Batman went solo again and Robin, the Teen Wonder continued his adventures far from his mentor. For this purpose, Dick Grayson was grown once again and this time he would become old enough to attend college, something that put the he Dynamic Duo into a temporary hiatus.

Unfortunately, when the series was cancelled, the popularity of the comics waned and the characterization of Robin became loathed by the comic book audiences, who scorned the TV portrayal of the Dynamic Duo.Īs the Silver Age of Comics came to an end, the creative team behind Batman decided to revamp the character. Robin, the "Teen Wonder" remained a punster and this characterization was picked up by the producers of the Batman TV Show in 1966, which became an instant hit worldwide.
For instance, Robin was grown so that he would attend high-school, but this activities didn't affect his duties as part of the crime-fighting team.
In 1964, Julius Schwartz became editor of the Batman comics and he made various changes, some of which affected the Dynamic Duo as well.

The Dynamic Duo became such a popular crime-fighting team that a film serial called Batman and Robin was developed in 1949, based upon the primary idea of the pairing. Their partnership remained a constant element in the Batman comics throughout the entire Golden Age of comics and into the next publication era. Robin was consistently portrayed as a lighthearted punster and thanks to his presence as Batman's sidekick, the Dark Knight became a much lighter character, going on a number of adventures together. Robin's introduction into the Batman mythos caused a change in the direction of the Batman stories, as the Dark Knight himself would act as a father figure instead of the dark vigilante from the first year. Since his introduction, Robin became a permanent character of the Batman comics and his name was always included as part of the title: "Batman - with Robin, The Boy Wonder -".Įven though Robin was introduced in Detective #38, the term "Dynamic Duo" was not used until Batman #4, where the partnership was finally named. Batman was a solitary crime-fighter for the most part of his first year of existence, until Dick Grayson was introduced in Detective Comics #38 ( 1940) by Batman creators Bob Kane, Bill Finger and their frequent collaborator, Jerry Robinson.
