about a year after batman's debut, batman creators bob kane and bill finger introduced robin the boy wonder in "detective comics" #38 (1940). the name "robin the boy wonder" and the medieval look of the original costume were inspired by "the adventures of robin hood". robinson noted he "came up with robin hood because "the adventures of robin hood" were boyhood favorites of mine. i had been given a robin hood book illustrated by n. c. wyeth ... and that's what i quickly sketched out when i suggested the name robin hood, which they seemed to like, and then showed them the costume. and if you look at it, it's wyeth's costume, from my memory, because i didn't have the book to look at." (some later accounts of robin's origin have stated that the name comes from the american robin bird, not from robin hood, frank miller's "all star batman and robin" being a notable exception. sometimes both sources are credited, as in len wein's "the untold legend of the batman".) although robin is best known as batman's sidekick, the robins have also been members of the superhero group the teen titans—with the original robin, dick grayson, as a founding member and the group's leader and with tim drake as the team leader .
