*sigh*. A Batman writer coming in hating Robin, to write Batman and Robin...
It's not "Batman and Robin" unless someone decides it is. Burton and Nolan's films are Robin-less. Plenty of the comics have been as well, and his name is almost never on the covers. Much of the better period of B:tAS was Robin-less until the network decided that he had to be added in to kid-friendly and lighten up the show for a younger audience. Which is what Robin ALWAYS does. That's the purpose of his character. And it's just bad.
Sidekicks in general are a bad artifact of a silly time in comics, which have been almost entirely phased out with the notable exception of Robin. People wanting a darker and more serious and mature Batman keep writing him out, and others keep digging the concept out of the trash pile and putting it back. It's long overdue to let it die.
