When did Dick Grayson become a "cool" character? - Page 2

Dick Grayson is portrayed well in all the modern cartoons:

- DCAU. Robin is fairly well written although he doesn't break out of the sidekick role till he becomes Nightwing.

- Teen Titans. Robin is the leader of the team and a strong fighter, he goes one on one with Slade Deathstroke.

- Young Justice. Dick Grayson is a valuable member of the team and then later becomes Nightwing during Season 2.

- The Batman. Once again Dick Grayson although young is shown to be a capable and valuable fighter

Well there ya go! I think you answered you own question. For you, he "became cool" when they started portraying him in a better light with the modern cartoons. I still think of him as a joke, but admit I've never seen any of the shows you mentioned. Perhaps my opinion would change if I did. Although, based on the mockery I witnessed by some teens over a Robin Halloween costume at the Walmart yesterday, I don't think I'm alone with my own perceptions of him. Currently I'm watching Beware the Batman but his character is absent. I'm also catching re-runs of the 60's Batman with my son which probably isn't helping matters any haha!

I liked Dick in B:TAS, but I noticed he was never allowed to do all that much and was constantly stuck in the sidekick position. Also Robin gets captured or knocked out in half the episodes he's in. They could have done a bit more with him.

The Dick in Teen Titans and Young Justice is probably the best we've seen him in animation. He's a leader of his teams (later for YJ), he's intelligent almost like a mini-Batman and he's a great fighter and a good friend.

I'd say it started out when Teen Titans was introduced to the world, that's when he slowly be ame a favorite of mine. Than I re watched the older Bataman animated series to see what he was like. Young Justice did another brilliant job with him, I agree with you on that

Only problem, Young Justice should have done more with him and NightWing in season two

Than I watched The Batman when was re introduced, that show didn't interest me till than

I'm still hoping for an animated Robin series some time in the future, it's no fair! Why so many problems in making one?
