I didn't read the old Batman comics as a kid, so I don't know if Batman struck Robin in the face very often, but now I'm bothered by that particular panel of the old strip, probably because of its clear abusiveness. Do you know whether that was a common feature of the older version of Batman? Just wondering.

Back then, it was common in comics and everywhere else. Our entire concept of "abuse" is fairly new.

Yes, you're right about that. Interesting. Thanks for getting back.
