Just for the record, I don't mind you... semi-fourthwalling Robin. If you think America reads American comics, I don't mind if he recognizes Robin, so long as Robin isn't told he's fictional.
I don't know enough about Hetalia to know if it would work like that, though, I'm just throwing out the idea.
America definitely loves comics and superheroes. He has actually dressed up as Batman in canon. (And he suckered England into being Robin.) I've generally been approaching these sort of situations where he notices that the character he's face to face with is similar to something from back home, but he doesn't actually fourth wall them. (ie when he met one of the Tranformers he went "ooh a real tranforming robot alien just like from the movies" not "you're a character from the movies back home") So Robin will be "a real costumed crime fighter like from the comics I read back home."
Cool. I just figured I'd throw out the possibility, because he'd be used to being recognized, and it's not really fair of me to say no one can know who he is because he's been in the zeitgeist since 1940. |D I MEAN YOU SAW THE ROBIN DOLL IN THE PILOT RIGHT.
Would he want to play with the grappling hook or something?
lol Yeah Robin's definitely a classic part of American pop culture. XD
Definitely. Any thing cool like the grappling hook would make America's day. On the flip side of his childish enthusiasm and sometimes stupidity, America knows to respect equipment so Rob wouldn't have to worry about him running off with it and shooting it at people. Unless you want that to happen by accident.
lol Next time Robin is out fighting crime he tries to trick the bad guys with a recording of him laughing but instead it's the sound of America shouting "FREEDOM!"
So much stupidity- we really should do it. It would be a shame not to. America's really a dork so there's plenty Rob can tease him for and he's dopey enough he could be trolled more than other people depending on the subject. Not to mention with their mutual sort of curiosity I'm sure they could have very silly random conversations about superheroes' experiences at the gym and what cereal would have been Lincoln's favorite.
and then he has to go back and re-record. all of them. so america has to come in and MAKE HIM LAUGH
oh yes. YOU KNOW HE CAN GO ON FOREVER ABOUT STUPID THINGS. He's got enough general knowledge thanks to traveling with circus + general Batman be-preparedness that he can just. yes.

I feel like those have a lot of potential for stupid things.
