Who do you think is the best robin
Dick Grayson, Robin I
Jason Todd, Robin II
Tim Drake, Robin III
Stephanie Brown, Robin IV
Carrie Kelley,The Dark Knight Returns





Dick saw being Robin as a thrill. It's probably why he outgrew it. Jason
saw Robin as a game. It's probably what got him killed. But... Tim... I
have to hand it to the boy... He wants to be the world's greatest
detective. And from wht I've seen so far... he will be someday

i wouldn't know. tim drake was in the comics before i was born...i guess i'm biased. but if terry mcginnis counts as a robin, he's definitely THE best.

even in the animated series, i like tim drake the best. dick grayson was cool, but for some reason it was cooler to see a little kid kick butt than a college student solving giant rubix cubes.

In the comics, Tim Drake was the best. Like Phile said, Grayson wasn't all that cool until he became Nightwing.

As far as BTAS, I'm going with Grayson... Drake was a bit to "Boy Wonder"ish for me.

I agree with Raz. Tim Drake was the more interesting Robin in the comics but he didn't interest me in the show. Dick Grayson was the cooler Robin. He was cool and funny. In the comics, I like Dick Grayson as Nightwing.

tim drake in the cartoon was basically jason todd. i still liked him though.

i really wish they could continue with the tim drake character in the timmverse. this is how i would imagine it...after healing from the joker's toxins or w/e...robin becomes more violent and wants the badguys to go down harder(TT robin attitude). and since batman doesnt want him to be robin anymore, i would assume he'd make the young justice and do stuff his own way. i think it would make a killer cartoon...and make him more like tim drake than jason.

i was a kid at the tim TNBA came out, so i related more with tim than grayson...so i guess i'm a little biased. even now, sometimes i like robin more than batman; as crazy as that may sound.

Although there's a comic I have with Dick Grayson as Robin. I think it was the 500th appearance of Batman in Detective Comics. He find out his friends, The Flying Todd's are murdered by Killer Croc and Robin basically goes mad and go through Gotham's underworld trying to find out where to find him. I thought in that issue, he was awesome as Robin. You could tell he surpassed the Boy Wonder title and was ready to step out on his own.

i think that Tim Drake s the best because i like him as a kid with good street smarts and is kinda used to the thrill of crime fighting with all of his street sharades. I like him also, beacuse he is gonna be the worlds greatest detective and idk i just like him a lot so hes my fave. But my 2nd is Dick Grayson cause he can relate to Batman with the death of his parents and stuff


<----Cool Batman

JUST KIDDING!

I like the COMICS Dick Grayson and the ANIMATED Tim Drake.
Grayson is just COOL, as Robin and then cooler as Nightwing.
However, except for the characterization in "Sub Zero," the animated Dick Robin is a bit irritating. They did MUCH better with NIGHTWING! The ANIMATED Tim Drake is a good mix of the comics Grayson, Todd, and Drake.


Sum Nox!

i like animated and comics tim. like macwage said, animated tim has a little bit of everything.

i like comcis tim cuz he's a better detective than batman, and he's actually following batman's foot steps. he's like batman jr. dick became his own which is cool, but he's still no batman. i can see tim becoming batman in some alternate universe whose not evil. haha.

I know it's not the most popular option, but I liked Steph's Robin. She was already established as a "hero" (sort of) before joining Batman, and came from a criminal family, so her way of doing things was often at odds with Bats - and not just because of inexperience or youthful exuberence. Despite the attitude problem, she always strived for respect. I thought it created an interesting dynamic between Batman & Robin.

no, i'd say jason is the most relatable.

tim is a good kid, bad things happen to him, and he still does what he does, and complaining is minimal. he's the robin kids should look up to. he doesnt do drugs, doesnt smoke, doesnt drink, hasnt had sex yet. lol.

jason on the other hand is like every other teenager. bad kid, doesnt listen to his dad(batman), and eventually dies. let's disregard the fact that he came back to life. jason probably did drugs behind batman's back.

I grew up with Dick Grayson as Robin so he would be my first choice, then Tim Drake because unlike Dick who was Robin until he was old enough to leave Tim seemed interested in learning everything there is about crimefighting

I'm torn here. I love Dick, but I have to give it to Tim. I got into Batman Comics a little before "A lonley place of dying". Tim has always been my Robin. I love Dick as Nightwing!
