Batman & Robin BFF Necklaces

Etsy shop VisionQuest was selling Batman and Robin BFF necklaces. Which sounds like the perfect gift for your superhero-loving bestie, right? WRONG. Because the real test of your bond will come when it’s time to decide who gets to be Batman. And let’s be real, everybody wants to be Batman. Nobody wants to lose that argument before they’ve even put on the necklace.

Who Gets to Be Batman?

Sad statistic: most friendships will NOT survive. You’ve got to be ULTRA TIGHT to pass that test. Sure, matching friendship necklaces are supposed to celebrate how much you love each other, but these ones come with a pretty serious question. Are you willing to be Robin so your best friend can be Batman? Because THAT is true friendship. Or a really good way to start an argument.

Famous Duos That Rival Batman and Robin

And who’s tighter than Batman and Robin? Well, since you asked, I’ve thought of a few. Lucy and Ethel. Shaggy and Scooby. Thelma and Louise. Those are some seriously iconic duos, and I’m pretty sure none of them ever had to fight over who got to wear the cooler necklace.

R2D2 and C3PO. Harry and Ron. Oprah and Gayle. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I realize Batman and Robin have some pretty stiff competition in the friendship department. I mean, sure, fighting crime together is impressive. But have they ever survived the ultimate friendship test of sharing something when they both want the same half?

The Real Meaning of Batman and Robin BFF Necklaces

Then again, maybe the whole Batman-versus-Robin thing doesn’t matter. Maybe it’s about having someone who’s always got your back, whether you’re saving Gotham City or just getting through another Monday. Awww, look at me getting all sentimental. Gross.

Anyway, who’s tighter than Batman and Robin? You and me. Batman and Robi– aw shit!
