    Who made a better Robin?
    Richard "Dick" Grayson
    Jason Todd
    Timothy "Tim" Drake or Stephanie Brown?
    I would say Dick Grayson because he is more of a leader.

    Stephanie Brown, Tim's girlfriend and the costumed adventurer previously known as The Spoiler, volunteered for the role of Robin upon Tim's resignation. Brown had always been reckless and impulsive and, after only three months, Batman fired her for not obeying his orders to the letter.

    In a misguided attempt to prove her worthiness, Brown sneaked into the Batcave and discovered a plan developed by Batman to unite the Gotham underworld under a single leader, "Matches" Malone, to make it easier to control. Unbeknownst to Stephanie, Malone is actually one of Batman's aliases. The plan was to be used only in a dire emergency, in which Batman's only option would be to seize control of the underworld himself and weaken it from the inside. Brown attempted to implement the plan, but without Batman/Malone's involvement, it backfired, causing a brutal gang war.

    While trying to help end the war, Brown was captured and tortured by the criminal Black Mask. She managed to escape but died of her injuries a short time later, due to the willful negligence of Dr. Leslie Thompkins.

    Lets hear it for Dick. I love how on "The Kingdom," he is alike extremely old he is still crime fighting. He isn't wearing the Hood that makes him red robin so he was going by Robin again. I liked when Jason was orginally introduced and they had like the same exact thing tha happend to Dick happen to him.

    I'd say Tim Drake. I never liked Dick Grayson when he was Robin, he's much better as Nightwing.

    I can like one, and dislike the other. Heres an example, Vegeta on Dragon Ball was an arogent pompis jerk when he fisrt appeared on the show. He still is by most a stanards a Jerk but after a while a he grew into a more likalbe character.

    Dick Grayson still kept some of his Robin trait when he became Nightwing but he also gained experience, and came off as a less childish character. He doesn't appear to want to show boat as much. A true reflection of what Bruce has shown him.

    DICK GRAYSON FTW!!!

    But yeah he's way cooler as Nightwing, but he's still cool as Robin.

    Tim's a close second, he's cool alot of times(depending on writer and such)

    Jason sucks majorly, and Steph shoulda stayed Spoiler she wasn't ready to be Robin, just like Jason, and they both payed with their lives.

    Dick and Tim are the only true Robins. As far as I'm concerned there's five key members to the Bat family. Bruce, Dick, Babs, Tim, and Cassie. **** the rest, well Az and Huntress are cool, but they're not really Bat fam material.

    But yeah sadly Cass may never be seen again comic-wise maybe Timm and Co.(if they ever can) 'll do there share and somehow introduce Cassandra's Batgirl.

    I like Dick best, because if you watch BTAS theres a lot more chemistry between him and Batman. In TNBA its just like Tim's some annoying kid that Batman has to put uo with, in BTAS they acctualy seemed to like each other.

    Yeah, thats because TNBA's Robin(Tim) is basically Jason Todd, the 2nd Robin in the comics, and Todd was nothing but a nuisance, I really wish they had just skipped him entirally instead of since going the JT route was too harsh, cuz of the Joker killing him and stuff, and made TNBA's Tim the REAl Tim Drake from the comics, instead we get this lame mixed up Robin, who rarely shines as Tim Drake.

    The real Tim's pretty cool though, almost as cool as Dick.

    Yeah, I think Tim Drake is better in the comics, he was less annoying than the TNBA version and also a good detective, which made him more like Batman.

    strictly as Robin, I like Tim Drake better than Dick Grayson, if nothing else, because Tim Drake wanted to be Robin from the very beginning. He figured out who Batman and Robin were, then he went out and became Robin when he saw that Bats was going too overboard with some of his methods. All power to Dick and all, but truth is that he really is much better as Nightwing then he was as Robin. At least that's what i think . . .
