"The only thing Batman fears is something happening to Robin" "Father and son. Master and apprentice. Batman and Robin." "Nightwing is, in a sense, an older brother to Jason, in spirit if not in flesh." "There's a bit of Clark Kent to Jason Todd." "Don Quixote needed his Sancho Panza. Sherlock Holmes needed his Dr. Watson. And the Batman needs a Robin."

(Quotes from Batman Writers' Bible about a show that could've aired in the 80s, having it's main characters being Bruce Wayne and Jason Todd as Batman and Robin. This Bible was first drafted in 1984 and the final version was finished in 1988).

It's especially sad seeing this show that never came to be portraying such a good relationship between Bruce and Jason, a grumpy man and the only person who knew how to make him laugh; Seeing how they were constantly referred to as father and son just for now in 2000s-2020s people going back to saying that Batman and Robin aren't family. I love this show that never existed and I wish people remembered that these relationships were important.

Bruce and Jason having a good, healthy and parental bond back when he was still young isn't a symptom of fanon, it used to be the reality of those two. Sometimes I wonder how this show would have influenced comics and it's adaptations, if I can be a little bit hopeful, I would guess that it could have showed the way to more healthy writing and family dynamics in the Batman Mythos.
