Boring Question #50: Why did they call Robin, Robin when there were better birds to choose from?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) July 28th, 2011

When I was a kid and watched Batman and Robin, I thought of why Robin, was called Robin? I always thought Batman and Hawk, or Batman and Falcon, etc sounded a bit more ”crime fighterish” or more intimidating than Batman and Robin. I don’t think they ever explained that in the series, unless I missed it. Do anyone have the answer to that, why a more opposing bird was not used as Robin’s moniker?
