- Folks should just remember that apostrophes are never used to pluralize. Of course there are like 2 exceptions, but better to be right 98 times out of 100 than guess every time.
  
  And even the exception is pretty rare: you use ' when pluralizing a lower-case letter. For instance, "There are two i's in pluralizing." The reason is obvious: you could wind up creating a different and confusing word. But how often do you even need to do that?
To be fair those ages were set when the comic book culture was a lot more light hearted. They did get aged up to ~approx 16 when becoming Robin when they rebooted the franchise to address this. Still not ok, but they did try to address it without alienating the older fans.
- Wasn't TAS Robin in college?
  
  Yeah, but as soon as Bruce found a suitable replacement he got Nightwing'd.
Or just the clown does his job
- Jason came back angry and murdery
I remember reading a comic once where Gordon loses his shit on Batman for recruiting children to fight alongside him. May have been after Jason Todd got killed or when Barbara got crippled
- There was a time Wally West ripped into him when the League tried to talk to Wally about his kids superheroing. "I'm getting lectures in child safety from a man who's gone through four Robins?!"
The last Batman movie I saw was probably in the Dark Knight series and I'm pretty sure there was no Robin. When was Robin last in a big movie? Has he come back since then?
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt was setup to be Robin in the final entry of that series.
