Wow, this kid is quite the delinquent, what with his necktie and bad report cardin' ways. If that was my kid's biggest issue, I'd think I was doing pretty well in the parenting department. It's like I tell parents, if you don't have to lock up your prescription medication at night and don't worry about your kid stealing your car while you sleep, you have the makings of a pretty good kid these days.
Know why kids today suck so much more than they did back then? I'll show you:
Because thrashing your child was an option. That's right, a little carefully-administered child abuse and threats thereof would keep that little booger in line. You don't see enough thrashings these days.

I think "Roving Crime-Buster" would make a good title for the next Batman movie.
It's hard to believe, but Batman used to be regularly stumped by thugs in bad suits.
I rather miss that sometimes.
"That innocent boy might be hurt by gunfire! What to do? I know! I'll call Robin!"
Wait... I don't understand. Bats is mumbling under his breath at the kid. But in the very next panel you show us, he's thinking to himself! Did he learn to do this all in one issue? Or perhaps you skipped over the part where little Tommy said "Gee, Batman, you don't have to say everything you think out loud!"
I guess it's just another case where comics, they... Make No Sense!!
Not only was thrashing the option, but it appeared to be the nicer option when compared to grounding your kid.
Nothing like slamming someone into the border of a comic cell.
