What Does Robin Say to Batman?

Robin says many different things to Batman. In the well-known Batman and Robin television series of the 1960s, Robin was famous for his catchphrase. Whenever something startling happened, the Boy Wonder turned to his partner Batman and blurted out "Holy [insert word(s) here] Batman!" The inserted word sometimes was pure nonsense, and in other situations it had a relevance to the situation the two characters were facing at the time.

There were many different one liners which Robin said to Batman. These one-liners ranged from "Holy Bill of Rights, Batman!" to "Holy Hijackers, Batman!" when a hijacker had interfered with the superheroes' plans. Some other well-known versions of the line included:

• "Holy strawberries, Batman! We're in a jam!"
• "Holy rocking chair, Batman!"
• "Holy sun dial, Batman!"
• "Holy New Year's Eve, Batman! He almost had us in his trick streamers!"

The list goes on, and the line is a beloved and well-known joke among Batman and Robin fans across generations.

Robin and Batman

Robin's one liners to Batman were a fun part of the show. Here are some other interesting aspects of the show:

• Before 1960, Batman and Robin consisted of a comic book that was serious in nature. It introduced some of the famous villains still used in the television series today.
• The 1960s television series was a comic turn on the duo, and remained largely the main "version" until the 1990s when the characters were revised in another series of serious movies.
• The 1960s series, while it stayed true to many aspects of the comic book characters, was done for entertainment of both children and adults, with fast and fun action interspersed with sly commentary and jokes that might have been over the heads of the younger crowd.
• Each week, the series would end with a cliffhanger; during fight sequences, and animated words like "POW" or "ZONK" would fill the screen in a direct homage to the series' comic book origins.
