Nightwing's identity was revealed and he was forced to abandon his costumed life. Batman rejected his first partner and warped her mind, leading her to become an evil villain. Nightwing became a vampire and turned on his friends, even punching Batman through the chest.
Few comic book heroes met as grizzly an end as Jason Todd did in his final days as Robin. During the iconic “Death in the Family” storyline, Jason was beaten by the Joker with a crowbar and then trapped in an exploding building. The event shook the Bat-Family for years and to this day remains one of the most infamous killings in comics. However, while Jason Todd’s fate was undoubtedly horrific, it’s not the only awful thing to happen to one of Batman’s partners. Across the DC multiverse, there are plenty of dark fates for people who served in the Robin role.

Batman has arguably the greatest rogues gallery in the comic industry, with more than a few ranking up there as some of the best fictional antagonists of all time. But not all of Batman’s bad guys were always evil, as more than a few of his closest friends, family members, allies, and sidekicks have broken bad as a direct or indirect result of Batman’s heroics, often getting epic new skills, abilities, and powers, in the process.
Whether by accident, force, or choice that turns them into the worst possible versions of themselves, Batman’s sidekicks have succumbed to dark influences more than once, with the flow of evil doppelgängers never slowing in an infinite multiverse full of them. Here are thirteen canon and alternate earth characters who became major threats to The Dark Knight after they fell to the dark side.

Louise Brealey has joined the cast of Ripper Street.
The actress - best known for playing Molly Hooper in Sherlock - will play a female physician in the Amazon Prime drama.
"I'm playing one of the first women doctors," the actress told Radio Times. "I'm really excited because I did history at university and I love a bit of research.
"Elizabeth Garrett Anderson blazed the trail in the 1870s and in the intervening decade or so a few extremely intrepid and unusual women started learning to be doctors themselves."
Brealey's character Dr Amelia Frayn will run the Obsidian Clinic in Whitechapel.
She revealed: "I'm dressed very soberly and the other girls are all so ravishing. I'm like a little Jenny Wren. Literally, where are my pretty feathers?!"
The Victorian detective drama was axed by the BBC after two series, but was picked up by on-demand service Amazon Prime Instant Video.
