What is kind of weird is that a major reason I did like the book so much was because there was a good LACK of Batman. Most of the run had Robin alone or teaming up with his own group of allies like Spoiler. It had Tim growing and learning with almost every issue, fighting his own villains and telling HIS story. Not "Batman's Sidekick's" story. And even though it could get cheesy and a little after-school-specialy, it almost never fails to put a smile on my face when I read it.
