rdf:langString "Robin's Reckoning" is a two-part episode of the critically acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series. The episodes originally aired on February 7 and 14, 1993, and were written by Randy Rogel and directed by Dick Sebast. It earned the series a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming One Hour or Less) and is considered one of the best episodes of the series. The second part aired a week later. The story is based on the origin of Robin (Dick Grayson) from Detective Comics #38 (April 1940), which it shows through flashbacks, intercutting an unfolding mystery in the present with the more significant moments of Robin's life. It touches on Robin uncovering who killed his family and how he first met and joined forces with Batman. Meanwhile, with Batman leaving Robin out of his investigation of Tony Zucco it also shows the beginning of how Batman and Robin are slowly growing apart as the latter gets older, which eventually culminates in a falling out where Dick abandons his role as Robin as depicted in The New Batman Adventures episode "Old Wounds".
