Why Robin Left Batman

[Silv]

So, you know how Robin doesn't like to talk about why he left Batman. Guess what I found on the internet! The reason, or at least, the dramatic final punching and firing bit.

The reason Batman punched robin is because~~~

One day in Gotham City, Batman finds a jewel thief. This isn't any jewel thief, but a pearl necklace thief. Batman goes all Batman on the thief and starts punching him in the face multiple times. Robin finally gets Batman to stop, but then Batman takes the necklace and puts it in his utility belt. Then Robin's all like, "Batman, don't we need to take that to the authorities?" Batman's all like, "I don't take orders from some punk kid." And backhandpunches Robin in the face.

The WORST portrayal of BATMAN I have EVER had the UNFORTUNE to READ.

I am not sure of the veracity of this explanation (not a big comic buff after all) but his behavior is explained as being exogenous--some magical plot device is making the justice leaguers act weird--thus why Donna cries "MY SISTER HATES ME WAAAAH". I think this is a borrowed plot from the older 80s comic? I dunno >.> Either way I think Batman is intentionally OOC
