DC just gave a grim but honest look at Batman's Robin, and how messed up key aspects of the sidekick's story truly are. While there have been a wide range of live-action versions of Batman, there have been far fewer live-action versions of Robin - something that may be owed at least in part to the lasting infamy of 1997's Batman & Robin.
The Penguin's Shocking Ending Reveals The Harsh Truth About Robin Close The Penguin provides a harsh rendition of what Batman recruiting young sidekicks would look like through a realistic lense via Victor Aguilar. While Victor is Oz's sidekick - not Batman's - the story of Penguin training the teen to be a part of his criminal empire has striking parallels, both due to Vic's age, and his desire to prove his loyalty to his mentor.
Though this turned out to not be the case, it put a closer spotlight on how troubling the idea of Batman recruiting a kid to fight bloodthirsty and hardened criminals alongside him really is, as it seems clear that Victor would've no doubt been just as desperate to put himself in danger's way and traumatize himself for Batman as the Penguin.
