July–August 1969. Although it's a reasonable inference, the idea that Bruce Wayne was legally unable to formally adopt Dick Grayson was actually a Silver Age retcon, added by E. Nelson Bridwell in a recap of Robin's origin in BATMAN #213. (Bridwell also makes a point of excising the various of Boss Zucco's men that Robin apparently kills in the first version of the story — which by my count may have been as many as five — but we won't dwell on that.)

The reference to obtaining "the consent of his nearest relatives" brings to mind the very interesting alternate version of Robin's origin that appeared on the ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN radio show in the fall of 1946. (It's recounted in the latter part of the episode for September 25, 1946, kicking off a serial called "The Dead Voice" that ran from September 26 through October 16, 1946.)

In the radio version, Bruce Wayne had been friends with Dick's parents (who in this version were named John and Yvonne), and knew Dick prior to his parents' murders, since Bruce would hang around with the circus acrobats to practice his own acrobatic skills. After the Flying Graysons' fatal fall, John survived long enough to ask Bruce to take care of Dick — Yvonne's family was at that time trapped in occupied France, and as the storyline subsequently reveals, John was estranged from his own family for joining the circus (and I guess for marrying Yvonne, although I don't think that's stated outright).

So, in the radio version, Bruce taking custody of Dick is not a matter of his arbitrarily scooping up a random orphan, but rather Bruce taking charge of the son of his dead friends at their express request, as a kind of godfather. This is so much more logical, and so much more reasonable, than the comics version that I'm mildly surprised that it's never been picked up by the comics or other media, particularly since post-Crisis Batman stories made such a big deal out of Bruce's odyssey to develop the various skills needed to become Batman; his having befriended some circus acrobats during that journey would fit in pretty seamlessly, I think.

#VoxPop During World War II, women made many contributions to the war effort. Perhaps the greatest sacrifice was made by the mothers who sent their sons off to war. Parks Johnson frequently used Vox Pop broadcasts to re-unite American families separated by the war.

On March 22, 1943, Vox Pop broadcast from the New Yorker Hotel in New York City and invited three mothers from Brooklyn to speak to their sons via shortwave telephone. Here, the three mothers are posing with Parks Johnson and Warren Hull behind a CBS microphone.

In the case of Anna O’Reilly (center), it was the last time she ever spoke to her son Francis “Buzzie” O’Reilly, whose B-17 was shot down over Germany two months later.
