\\\"It showed none of the psychological issues\\\". The kid ended up with PTSD due what happened to him. If you don\\\'t know what it is, than I\\\'ll tell you. It\\\'s called \\\"Post-trauma stess disorder\\\" and it\\\'s a psychological disorder, born from traumatic happenings. With it its includes bad nightmares and memories, feeling emotionally numb and frigthened and easily startled, and that was Robin was showing as an adult. And studies have showed that it ain\\\'t just Vietnam veterans who ends up with it, but anyone can end up with it. Robin ended up with it, and it infected his life as well his relationship with Bruce (meaning it\\\'s almost non-existing), an another common symptom with PTSD.
So I think it\\\'s realistically as possible it can be for a superhero movie.

Maybe, but it wasn\'t Nightwing or Gordon who was kidnapped and tortured, no was it? It was very clear it was the KidHero trope the creators wanted to deconstuct, not TheLancer or DaCheif. They wanted to show how dangerous it would be for a real life kid to play superhero in a city like [[WretchedHive Gotham]]. And they also showed that the trauma would had been much more damaging to a kid than it would had been to an adult. Just because TheJoker didn\'t tortured him because he was kid it doesn\'t mean he\'s more immun to the pain from it. If it was Nightwing or Gordon, than they wouldn\'t have been as traumatized as Robin, as they\'ve learned to endure it, but not Robin. Since he\'s a kid, his mind ain\'t enough developed to handle that part of the job, and so it got much more worst.

And The Joker did told Batman it was Robin he wanted to use against him, and no one else. Criminals using children against their enemies had been on Earth IRL since the first civilization. Robin may have be trained as a crime fighter, but he still is a kid, and still more vulnerable to amorally psychopaths.
