Folding Robin Batarang
Checking...
Was there any scene(s) where Robin is seen unfolding one of his Batarangs?

I second Chuck's opinion-- I don't think there was.

Re: Folding Robin Batarang
Did Robin even use. Batarang?
Re: Folding Robin Batarang
Yup he had a small non folding one-- I don't remember too many instances of him using it, but I'm pretty sure there's a scene where Batman tells him to get ready for a fight and he produces it from his belt.

Re: Folding Robin Batarang
I know he holds one at the end of the 66 movie when they are about to go out the window.
Re: Folding Robin Batarang
Hi stranger,
Nope. I dont think he ever unfolded his. Here's a photo that always made me smile...Robin with Batman's Batarang. I suppose the smaller one wasn't thought of yet? And to add to the thread, was Robin's the same as Batgirl's?

Scott: I remember two instances where he uses a Batarang in the series but in neither case is he seen unfolding it. One is at the end of The Joker Goes to School -- here is the Youtube clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3c7qpToDM0
The other is in The Great Train Robbery when he uses his Batarang and Bat-rope to restrain Shame's two henchmen before they can shoot Batman.

In "Joker Goes to School" it looks like he's holding it hinge side out. Maybe we never saw it unfold but it did have a split and a hinge.

Re: Folding Robin Batarang
In Great Train, it goes by too quickly to make out splits or hinges but it looks like Batgirl is using a Robin one and Robin is using a Batman sized Batarang.
Re: Folding Robin Batarang
Didn't Batgirl have her own [purple?] Batarang?

Re: Folding Robin Batarang
This question actually sent me down a research rabbit hole this week and as things stand, I genuinely don't believe Yvonne did actually use a purple 'rang. I trawled S3 haven't managed to find a single screen cap from the show nor a publicity photo featuring a purple version.
My theory (unless gladly proven otherwise!) at this point is that it was a fan interpreted prop idea which originated in the late 80's early 90's when fan-propmakers like CY started offering the Burt casting in a purple material as a "Batgirl" variant. What kind of amuses me however much (like many rumours/myths surrounding the Batman TV show and circulated in print and online over the years) is that some of the toy manufacturers (such as FTC) have subsequently run with this notion and offered it as an accessory with Batgirl figures.
Re: Folding Robin Batarang
Here's the folding Robin from the Azarian Auction-- is this why you were looking for an example?
