Friendly reminder: Robin doesn't exist without Dick Grayson. It was created through his mother’s childhood nickname for him, his family's show colors, & his personal quest to bring his parents’ killer to justice. You can't just pop anyone in the role without Dick happening first.

The funniest thing about people saying you can just "skip Dick Grayson as Robin" & make Jason/Tim the first Robin is that you literally can't do it without *dramatically* changing their characterization & motivations to the point where they would be functionally unrecognizable 🧵

Clark Kent being portrayed as a good man doesn't make him a "one note" or "boring" character. Superman is at his best when he's written as someone who is fundamentally kind & keeps choosing kindness even when the world is against him. It's sad a lot of us have lost sight of that.

Comic characters do not become popular by random chance; they become popular when they are deliberately featured in comics, movies, tv shows, & video games. Characters become popular by being used. If characters are never used, they won't become popular. It's that simple.
