We wrap up our sidekick series with an open discussion on the role and function of sidekicks in comics. Are they necessary anymore? Why were they around in the first place? Is there a reason why there’s always some kind of implication of pedophilia with Batman and Robin? C’mon, Tumblr, tell me why.

Our “Best of 2012” series continues as we visit DC’s Nu52 Batman in “Court of Owls” by Scott Snyder. A massive organization of Gotham’s elite has been secretly controlling the city for hundreds of years, only Bruce Wayne never knew about it because he wasn’t invited. And it’s okay, because he totally investigated it when he was like 11, so there’s no way it doesn’t exist. We talk about the awkward plot holes, the creepiness of the court, and rage Dick.
