Long, long ago, when Batman was a cutting-edge comic, Robin's typical response
to a crisis was something along the lines of "Holy Toledo, Batman! What do we do now?"
While such an exclamation may seem quite strange in our modern times, it was, oddly
enough, very commonplace in the bygone era of the '60s, and therefore completely
lacking in creativity. These days, Robin, ready to voice his concerns rather more
strongly, is more likely to say, "Holy ****, Batman! What kind of **** have you
gotten us into?" (You may interpret the asterisks as you will). While such an
exclamation would no doubt have shocked many straight-laced '60s readers, it is, alas,
very normal in this day and age, and, by a similar argument, likewise completely
lacking in creativity. What Robin really needs is to add some spice to his
everyday crimefighting conversation. Thus, it is with great pleasure that we present:
