Kind of how we created 2019’s ULTIMATE BATMAN READING AND VIEWING GUIDE. Ultimately, all three lists were quite different, so below the TOP 13, I’ve opted to break our own rules and include the also-rans, with full commentary. Then, when we announced ROBIN WEEK, editor/author/journalist/pop-culture historian Glenn Greenberg asked if he could take a crack at such a list.Īnd so, in the end, I took Scott’s list and Glenn’s list (which was in 13-1 order), made my own adjustments and came up with the TOP 13 ROBIN STORIES EVER - RANKED. So with his agreement, I planned to rank them based on my own editorial judgment and add and subtract a few stories here and there. It could be nominally a Batman story, a Teen Titans story or a team-up - but Robin had to be the focal point. Any Robin story in any medium was eligible - solo or otherwise. Comics writer and 13th Dimension contributor Scott Tipton was up to the task and produced an outstanding list. It’s not quite so simple to reach consensus on Robin, however, so for his 80th, I decided on a different tack: a singular point of view. A year ago, for Batman’s 80th anniversary, we convened a blue-ribbon panel of experts - including Neal Adams and Paul Levitz - to pick the TOP 13 BATMAN STORIES EVER.

Welcome to ROBIN WEEK! One of the greatest heroes in comics history debuted 80 years ago this month - and we’re celebrating with a series of features saluting the Boys, Girls and Teens Wonder.
