Much of my dismay stems from the usage of Damian Wayne, who, for all intents and purposes, is little more than a modern version of what Jason Todd, should have been when he was introduced in the mid-1980s. To be frank, he’s a sniveling little brat that needs to die... Oh wait, he already did (in the pages of Batman Incorporated) – and then he was brought right back. But, I digress… When we last saw Damian Wayne (Batman vs. Robin), he had escaped the clutches

Batman and Robin are arguably one of the most iconic symbols of justice and morality. But, what if Robin did not have a moral compass as strong as his mentor, and instead displayed very un-Batman-like behavior, such as brutalizing criminals while fighting crime?

Well, no need to worry about that too much, since he gets brutally tortured and murdered by the Joker in Brandon Vietti’s 2010 animated film, Batman: Under the Red Hood. End of the problem
As I was watching Harry Potter on TBS, I saw how Ron Weasly affected Harry and how he acted and what he did because he knew Ron was there for him. Harry knew that whatever he did Ron was going to be there for him. So I started to think to myself, Ron is a sidekick. So, I believe the sidekick affects the story more than the main character because, without the sidekick the main character won't have anyone to be there so they can't make those bold decisions to take down the enemy.
