Part of the problem there was that Chris O'Donnell played Robin not as Dick Grayson but as a childish 23 yr old Jason Todd (the second, more rebellious, Robin). And even with that there were conradictions throughout the role. For example, why would this Robin need to be anyone's "ward"? Like you said, he'd riding motorcycles and he's clearly not a child.

Interesting fact: When Robin was first introduced in comics long ago, he was written as being 8 years old. I doubt a modern Robin could realistically fight crime at 8, but it just goes to symbolize the vast disloyatly and criminal carelessness with which Burton and Schumaker approached this franchise.

Burton may be likeable and bright.

But, he killed The Joker (literally) after making him the killer of Bruce's parents AND starting him off as some mob thug. He cast Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent only because he had no clue that Dent would become Two-Face (upon which the realization led to the dropping of Williams from the sequel). He turned Penguin into a miserable punchline who couldn't mastermind a game of tic-tac-toe. He put machine guns on the Batmobile and had Batman kill like 5 people. And, he gave Catwoman 9 ACTUAL lives. That's just for starters.

Sorry. But, when it comes to Batman, in light of all the evidence, I have a real problem with the "Burton Defensive Team".
