Why does Batman have a Robin?

I think it's because they felt that a dark, brooding hero-born-by-tragedy wouldn't be accessible enough to happy-go-lucky pre-teens/youths as a bright, colourful super-hero is so Robin would give them a relatable presense to latch onto and aspire to be.
I don't feel that way but I know some people do.
For that matter, I'm curious. How did they explain the status of Bruce Wayne and the new Robin? He had a dad already, right? Was Tim Drake not associated with Bruce Wayne or was there, like, the idea that he was training him like an intern or something? What was going on there?
Hell, who the **** keeps WARDS for that matter?
His dad never fell into a coma.
At first it was a Terry McGuiness type of thing, Tim was hired by Bruce for odd jobs, and Tim's Dad didn't mind, as long as Tim's school grades stayed up.
Tim's Dad was killed by Captain Boomerang during Identity Crisis, which was after the point Tim told his Dad he was Robin. Bruce then took him in after that.
