Internship position available: ROBIN
The new 52 DC books are only weeks away and DC answered this week one of the common questions raised by the new timeline – if Bruce Wayne has only been Batman for 5 years, why are there 5 Robins? The answer they have given is the Robin is an internship position for new super-heroes.
Thinking this is a) completely reasonable and also b) stupid, here is the application form to apply for the coveted position of Robin to Batman (whoever the hell happens to be Batman by the time you read this).
Thank you for choosing to apply to intern with BATMAN: INC. as ROBIN.
