I love Bruce as Robin. The shame in this story is there's really not any reason for his parents to be alive-it's almost like the writer forgot about his origin and just liked to think of Bruce as a regular kid who dreamed of being a detective who...wore a funny costume when he was detectiving. For some reason. His parents have even dumped him on the maid and the butler for the summer here to explain how he can take off on his own. (Bruce Wayne: Not really an orphan, just a latchkey kid.)
Doesn't Harris even call him Robin, like as a nickname, and to go with the R randomly on his suit? Hee!
Anyway, I just love Bruce being a fanboy and being all serious about his mistakes and seeing how this guy has so much to teach him.
