Batman and Robin

Caped crime partners

Batman and Robin refers to an inseparable duo, especially one where a dominant figure is paired with a loyal sidekick.

The phrase comes from the DC Comics superhero and his young partner, but in common use describes any close partnership with a clear leader-follower dynamic: Those two are like Batman and Robin—you never see one without the other.
