So You've Kidnapped Your Robin... What Next?
As an up and coming villain, you've captured your Robin. Well done!
It was likely to be less challenging than you expected it to be, as it happens a LOT, but you've still managed quite the accomplishment, so take a moment to congratulate yourself.. but make sure you've tied him up first, as many a nascent criminal career has been reduced to a one shot appearance by gloating instead of securing... As we say in these circles: "Be kind, rebind"... though I suspect that's showing our age these days.
So... now you have to decide what to do with the Teen Wonder.
Was the capture part of a plan? Or were you just winging it? Be honest, we won't judge.
Either way in your, now hopefully well secured, Robin you have a very aesthetically pleasing captive. Classically handsome, brightly coloured outfit (very useful for brand recognition) and clearly has never missed leg day in his life...
His mere reluctant presence is guaranteed to brighten any lair up, even if you just have him drugged and tied up on the floor...
Tumblr media
Or bound and gagged in a corner... there are few who can match the Teen Wonder for radiating "pissed off damsel" vibes when he's being held captive.
Tumblr media
If you, or your current crime spree, have already picked a theme, then we'd actively encourage you to make him part of it. He's got the RANGE!
If it's your birthday, tie him to a giant incendiary candle.
Tumblr media
If you're going for a puppet gimmick, then the colourful costume makes for a perfect centrepiece...
Tumblr media
Even for old-school classics like running a coven of devil worshippers, again, he can fits right into your evil scheme..
Tumblr media
If it's just straightforward torture you're into (A little gratuitous perhaps, but there are worse things), then he has more than enough style of his own to make it work
Tumblr media
And any off-the-cuff, impulsive, murder attempt can be livened up if your target is a brightly oufitted, acrobatic hero.
Tumblr media
An old favourite is to make him part of your grander plan to torment Batman, whether it's a spur of the moment decision to use random giant props you have lying around
Tumblr media
Or maybe as a distraction so you can flirt/fight with Batman
Tumblr media
Or a complex plan to drive Batman insane with fake murders of Robin leading up to the real thing, your Teen Wonder will make a fine addition to your scheme whether in terms of quantity
Tumblr media
or quality.
Tumblr media
So never be afraid to use him to maximum advantage.
Of course, by now the more perceptive of you might have wondered how he can be put into so many different predicaments AND STILL BE AROUND!
This is a fair question and, as you might soon discover, has a fairly obvious answer: He's been in so many traps, because he's gotten OUT of so many traps! Batman often helps...
Tumblr media
As do the Titans...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
.. but he's resourceful and skilled enough to get out of a great many different varieties of restraint by himself.
Tumblr media
So, in summary, our advice with your kidnapped Robin is this:
Make sure he's properly tied up before you do anything else! (Have you checked the knots on the ropes you used since you started reading this article? You might want to do that now... we'll wait.).
Make the most of your Robin for your high profile criminal advantage whilst you have him. (Don't take any other kind of advantage, that'd just be tacky. Supervillains may be criminals, and sometimes homicidal maniacs, but we have standards!)
Don't feel too bad if you don't manage to kill him. You won't be the first, you won't be the last.
If you DO manage it, congratulations! Though you now have every member of the JLA, Teen Titans and BATMAN after you... good luck with THAT!
So, even if he escapes, remember that with the Boy Hostage, there will ALWAYS be a next time!

Spider-Woman #24 (Fleisher/von Eedon, Mar 1980). Jessica’s new boyfriend is behind bars. The strangest thing about this book is how hard it works to keep Jessica dislikable. There’s a redemptive reading where she’s essentially like Kimmy Schmidt, a survivor of a strange cult that left her ill-equipped to rejoin the world — but the writing rarely talks about her time with the High Evolutionary or Hydra anymore. She just makes bad choices for the hell of it.

An early addition to my "Robin the Boy Hostage" collection, courtesy of Trevor Von Eeden, whose groundbreaking work in the 80's included a brief but memorable run on Robin's solo stories in the back of Batman, which suggested to me he might be just the person for such a commission.

Spider-Woman #23 (Fleisher/von Eedon, Feb 1980). Jessica’s wheelchair-using criminologist partner Scotty has to rescue her from a burning building, which is actually kinda great representation for wheelchair users.
