When were these shown on the USA Network? I see the USA logo & don't ever remember seeing this on that channel.

It was the late 1990's. They were shown daily at 7 a.m. eastern time as part of a syndication package "The Superman Batman Adventures", also including Filmation's 1966 Superman and 1967 Aquaman, etc., (but NOT their 1977 Batman with 'Bat-Mite'); plus Hanna-Barbera's early SuperFriends with the 'Wonder Twins' from the mid/late 70's (after 'Super Marvin'). "Superman Batman Adventures" later ran on Cartoon Network, and later still on Boomerang.

Can someone tell me the relation between Batman and Robin?

[alanr4447a]

Batman (Bruce Wayne) is Robin (Dick Grayson)'s legal guardian, or surrogate father.

Writer: Ok, Bruce and Dick drive up and theres these two bad guys, Penguin jumps out of a tree using his umbrella as a parachute. Then he beats the two thugs unconscious with the umbrella. Scene ends with Penguin straddling the two guys between his legs in the back seat of the car while making hoo hoo sounds.

Producer: Genius! You do know that owls make the hoo hoo sound, not penguins though..

Writer: I did not know that. Well, its already on paper and its in pen.

A perfect example as to why cartoons don't have to make sense. Oh no, Batman's trapped in a bird's nest that's constructed entirely of steel! We needn't worry about air supply, or how if Robin starts heating up those coils the entire thing pretty much becomes a psedudo-oven; this is Batman! He can live through anything!
