Caped Crusaders Batman and Robin have been busy fighting crime together for years, but now the focus of the story has shifted to Robin`s private life as he explores his sexuality. 
 
In the latest edition of DC comics` series 'Batman: Urban Legends,' character Tim Drake, who is the third version of Robin, is seen accepting an offer of a date from a male friend. 
 
"There`s been a bunch of conversations about whether or not he`s been queer coded throughout time, and this just felt like the piece that was missing in order to understand Tim Drake`s story better," writer Meghan Fitzmartin says. 
 
Known as the Boy Wonder, Robin first appeared as Batman`s sidekick in 1940, and since then he has been featured in many comics depicting the DC Universe. 
 
Fitzmartin says she is delighted DC was happy to expand his personal story and that there is no label on his sexuality. 
 
"I think that for Tim, he`s still figuring it out ... like, `Oh, this is something that I didn`t expect and would like to investigate more` because that`s who he is as a person." 
 
Fitzmartin says she didn`t realize what an impact this story line would have and hopes it raises awareness that "people exist who are questioning and queer and in various states of understanding their own sexuality." 
 
"I want people who maybe don`t have access to this type of content to feel seen and feel heard. And I also want those who maybe have never ... knowingly met a queer person before to ... see that Tim Drake exists," she says.

Batman comic shifts focus to Robin's private life, his sexuality

George Clooney and his fans can never forgive the year 1997, that saw the actor as the masked crusader Batman. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-george-clooney-admits-he-failed-as-batman-calls-1997-batman--robin-stinker-350597">While Clooney has self-admittedly called the film a 'stinker',</a> looks like there's another film out there that the actor is not so proud of.&nbsp; 
 
In a recent interview, Clooney said that he&nbsp;is not looking forward to the release of his low budget horror film 'Grizzly II', which was made in the eighties. According to The Sun, the 1983 horror thriller, which was shelved for decades, has Clooney sporting a mullet. His character gets eaten by a bear in the movie. 
 
'Grizzly II'&nbsp;was shot in Hungary when Clooney was 21 years old. It also stars other then-newcomers Charlie Sheen and Laura Dern. Producer Suzanne Nagy is planning a limited release of the movie.

George Clooney thinks this film is worse than 'Batman and Robin'

George Clooney is still not over his dud film ‘Batman &amp; Robin’ that released in 1997.

In a latest interview, George revealed how he feels about “stinker” ‘Batman &amp; Robin’ and how it “physically” pains him to watch the Warner Bros. film.&nbsp;

In the past, he Oscar-winning actor has made it no secret that he feels the film is weak. He even revealed in his&nbsp;latest interview that he was paid $1 million salary while Arnold Schwarzenegger, who played Mr. Freeze, was given $25 million.

George Clooney on ‘Batman &amp; Robin’: "I couldn't have done that one differently. It's a big machine, that thing. You have to remember at that point, I was just an actor getting an acting job. I wasn't the guy who could greenlight a movie."

George Clooney also revealed that while he and Arnold Schwarzenegger share screen time, they did not work together on the production. "We never even saw each other. It's a big, monster machine, and I just sort of jumped in and did what they said,” he said.&nbsp;

Clooney admitted pretty much everyone involved was to blame for the film. "The truth of the matter is, I was bad in it. Akiva Goldsman — who's won the Oscar for writing since then — he wrote the screenplay. And it's a terrible screenplay, he'll tell you. I'm terrible in it, I'll tell you. Joel Schumacher, who just passed away, directed it, and he'd say, 'Yeah, it didn't work.' We all whiffed on that one."
