This story was ahead of its time. It gave sidekicks and lesser-known heroes a real shot at their own identity, and it didn’t feel like a hand-me-down. Wolfman and Pérez built something that felt personal but still had the scale of big-time superhero stories. What stands out is how much character work is included, like Robin trying to step out of Batman’s shadow. It’s a team origin comic that feels more like a family story in disguise. A family story that would transform and evolve through the years and impact so many kids growing up in the process.
