The Muppets are a group of comedic puppet characters originally created by Jim Henson who have appeared in multiple television series and films since the 1950s. The majority of the characters listed here originated on The Muppet Show, a television series that aired from 1976 to 1981. Since then, several more characters have been introduced in other television series, as well as theatrical films.
The first Muppet characters appeared as early as 1955, in Sam and Friends, a Washington, D.C.-based show that was on the air for six years. Kermit the Frog was one of the show's regulars, and thus was one of Henson's first Muppet creations. The characters became a household name after their appearance in the children's television program Sesame Street. Henson was initially reluctant to become involved with Sesame Street because he feared being pigeon-holed as a children's performer, but agreed to work on the show to further his social goals. The characters created for that series are now owned by the Sesame Workshop, the producers of Sesame Street, and are now considered a separate franchise.
Stephanie Brown is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character first appeared in Detective Comics #647 (August 1992) and was created by Chuck Dixon and Tom Lyle.
The daughter of the criminal Cluemaster, the character originated as the amateur crime-fighter Spoiler. She later served briefly as the fourth Robin and the third Batgirl. From 2009 to 2011, she was the star of her own ongoing Batgirl comic book series. In 2014, following a company wide relaunch of all DC Comics titles as The New 52 in 2011, the character returned to the Spoiler identity in Batman Eternal. She is the only character in the Batman mythos to serve as both Robin and Batgirl.
Stephanie Brown was introduced in a three-issue story arc in Detective Comics #647-649 in which writer Chuck Dixon reinvented a villain called the Cluemaster. Dixon created the Cluemaster's daughter, Stephanie, as simply a plot device for this story, seeking to "spoil" her father's plans. Even so, the character was well received by fans. The following year, Dixon launched the first ongoing Robin series and featured the Spoiler as a foil and love interest for Tim Drake. The character was at the center of a high-profile teen pregnancy storyline in 1998, which caused Wizard Magazine to name Robin the best ongoing comic book of the year. Stephanie remained an integral part of the Robin supporting cast for over a decade, until her death in the 2004 crossover storyline Batman: War Games.
Robin is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, who works for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and portrays a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character. Robin's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. He is a part of the extensive Alvarado wrestling family, the son of José Aarón Alvarado Nieves who wrestled as "Brazo Cibernético" and "Robin Hood", and grandson of Juan Alvarado Ibarra, better known as Shadito Cruz.
He started his wrestling career by using the ring name Robin Hood, Jr., after his deceased father José Aarón Alvarado Nieves who wrestled as "Robin Hood" for the major part of his wrestling career. He worked primarily on the Mexican independent circuit, including some shows for the Los Perros del Mal wrestling promotion.

Plot: At the outbreak of the World War, American women from all walks of life join a volunteer nursing outfit in France. Some volunteer out of a sense of duty while others travel to France because that's where all the men are. The nurses are surrounded by death and disease and must sacrifice their own comfort and safety in service of the wounded men who need them. The soldiers, so far from home and facing an uncertain future, are desperate for female companionship, but not necessarily the kind of romance the nurses are hoping for. Pretty young Joy hits it off with Robin, a fellow New Yorker, while no-nonsense Barbara tries to fend off the advances of Wally, a cocksure young flier. Joy's wartime romance takes an unexpected turn, with serious consequences, and Barbara reconsiders her romantic notions when Wally is sent on a dangerous mission.

I'd sure like to know
More about her

And her interest

I always find myself singing her name
Come on and sing along

She's as pretty as a robin
Perched on a sycamore tree
In the California sunshine

She's as pretty as a robin
Flying far below the clouds
In the Hollywood mountains
I saw her for the first time
Just the other day
And overheard the boys talkin' 'bout her
That's how I know her name
She caught my eye
Now I just can't stop thinkin' 'bout that girl
I'm not sure what's going on
But she's the most inportant person in my world

Perched on a sycamore tree
In the California sunshine

Flying far below the clouds
In the Hollywood mountains
One day I'm sure I'll get up the nerve
To go and talk to her
But for now I'll just keep on singing my song
Come on and sing along
Robin
She's as pretty as a robin
Perched on a sycamore tree
In the California sunshine
Robin
She's as pretty as a robin
Flying far below the clouds
