the best robin

[Brodie]

I think this needs to be resolved...

The bast Robin is by far Tim Drake, he's the most well rounded character to be Robin. The idea that even though he doubts himself and can still kick some ass, that just yells 'Hero.'

Dick Grayson is Nightwing, being Robin was just a stepping stone for him. Now he's this dark hero in Bludhaven, where he belongs.

And the idea that Robin helped promote a gay Batman? Jesus, pick up a comic, or turn on the TV, Batman hasn't been "Gay" since "Batman & Robin." The only times Batman and Robin have been Gay were in the 60's show and in Joel Schumacker's Batman & Robin. Both Dick and Tim have had their share of chicks, take the conversation between Dick and Tim in the Nightwing: Love & Bullets arc:
Tim: My girlfriend is pregnant...
Dick: Wha? Is it yours?
Tim: No, ex-boyfriend's.
Dick: She doesn't know who you are, does she?
Tim: The big secret is safe.
Dick: I know you never will because you're you, but... Well, maybe you should avoid a relationship that complicated.She's gonna have a baby, she's a vigilante, etc.
Tim: You don't always pick the stable ones.
Dick: Whats that supposed to mean?
Tim: Let's see, An alien, A goddess, A murderer, a suspected murderer, your landlady, and the crimefighter formerly known as Batgirl.
Dick You little twerp. Kory.. answered the need I had at that time for affection. Donna and I never really dated, we just... Miggie wasn't a murderer when I met her. Emily..well, she wasn't really a murderer, I just thought she was when I, uh... Married her. And Clancy and I are just, you know, friends.
Tim: And Barbara?
Well, we just kind of fell into those situations. Now getting involved with the Huntress, that was dumb...

And there was a girl Robin, Carrie Kelley. Check out one of the greatest Bat stories ever, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. And yeah, he did seem like a pedophile, being 65, and her being like 14.

nah, the robins are as follows:

Robin I: Dick Grayson, became nightwing



Robin II: Jason Todd, killed by the Joker


Robin III: Tim Drake, still Robin

Robin III: Tim Drake, still Robin

Based on what I've heard, there's going to be a new Robin soon. She'll be taking over in the next story arc in Robin's comic, I think.

[host_punktmy]

I'm not too sure your source is right, according to Wizard Magazine the writer of the 'Fables' comic is taking over the writing for Robin. I'd think if there was a new Robin, or a even a new Chick Robin there would be more of an uproar or something. Unless something is gonna happen in which Tim is out of commision for a bit. Or there's a 'Copycat' running around, like in Nightwing: Nite Wing.

Where did you hear about the new Robin?

Comic Book Forum I visit, there's a whole huge thread on it. The person said he saw it as an Ad in Wizard.

Quote from the thread:

Press Release (emphasis mine - JZ)

Damion Scott, whose dynamic 3-year run on BATGIRL won him critical praise, takes over as interior and cover artist on ROBIN this May with issue #126. Scott, fresh off of drawing The Spectacular Spider-Man, joins writer Bill Willingham (FABLES) with an issue that's a perfect jumping-on point for new readers.

"I'm definitely excited about this," said Scott. "Working on ROBIN is going to be fun. I always wanted to draw Robin, so I'm glad to have the chance. And I never liked pencilling for another inker as much as I like doing the whole art job myself."

Among the many good reasons for bringing Damion on ROBIN, I'd like to point out one selfish one," says Willingham. "The best moment in writing any comic book story occurs when the drawn pages start coming in and I get to really see the story for the first time brought to life by the vision, imagination and skills of a talented artist. Bringing Damion on board means I get to look forward to many such perfect moments. So, really, it's all about pleasing me."

"We're pleased to have Damion back at DC where he belongs," adds Dan DiDio, DC's VP - Editorial.

This issue marks a turning point for the series, as Tim Drake has relinquished the cape and mask. The Dark Knight's new partner-in-crimefighting makes a dramatic debut in this landmark issue! But you won't get the full story here. You'll just have to pick up the issue to discover the identity of the new Robin!

Batman's choice will have repercussions throughout the DC Universe...and this story gets the ball rolling for much bigger events coming later in 2004. Get in on the ground floor of history in the making with ROBIN #126!

ROBIN #126 will be solicited in the March issue of Previews (Volume XIV, #3), and is scheduled to arrive in stores on May 19 with a cover price of $2.25 U.S

Hm....It probably is only for a short time, and I highly doubt this will mean Timmy-Boy will be leaving Young Justice/Teen Titans because of She-Robin, but keep me informed, I'll be a bit pissed if they get rid of Tim, he IS Robin. And the Trio of Superboy, Impulse and Robin would suck if it isn't Tim.

What in the world? Catwoman.. "THE Batman.." Now this.. Is DC on a mission to destroy all things Batman or what?

[Reznorite420]

No, just to cater to the stupidity of fanboys everywhere

[Brodie]

Im a fanboy, but this is just insulting. The 'She-Robin' was only good in the 'Else-worlds' universe...

[Hamato Yoshi]

I can't picture Batman w/o Robin , he's always been a father figure/role model to him , not to mention Batman gets a lot of brain power/help from the Boy Wonder , which he always has the use for.

Burt Ward will prob always be my fav Robin.

No kiddin'. If anything, this will piss fanboys off.

i'm glad BRODIE remembered Carrie Kelley, b/c i was gonna have to school you punks on forgetting her. that story by frank miller was the BOMB! while i do recognize that her appearence is prolly best left confined to that story arc, i DID enjoy it. she was damn cool for a one shot robin.


but yeah... for long-term robin-ocity... tim drake. DEFINITELY. Dick Grayson is his own man, and much much better as Nightwing.
