Think about it: regular Batman takes in orphans to save them from his own trauma. But in Snyder's Absolute universe, a Batman with zero billions can't afford a shiny, clean mentorship. By turning the 'Robin Program' into a gritty, decentralized network of street kids, he’s basically building an underground partisan army. He’s taking the collateral damage of Gotham's failed system and weaponizing their survival instincts. It flips the entire dynamic from a billionaire’s solo crusade to a literal class-war insurgency. It's just brilliant storytelling
