Thank you for including Steph in a way that didn't make her seem incompetent or "just the girl Robin," because I know a lot of fans disregard her. So you presenting her portion in an actual not degrading or dismissing light is very, very nice :') thank you
She is actually one of my favorite Robins. I thought her arc was great and even when she was brought back. 🤜🤛
This is the first video that made me want to learn more about Stephanie Brown.
Every other video seems to do a massive disservice to her
Agreed! I knew next to nothing about her, but this was a great presentation.
My gaming name is Stephanie Brown, so I may have a favorite (spoiler alert!)
@@ChristyAbbey don't let it drive you bats, girl!
Each Robin represents an aspect of Batmans abilities. Dick is the Acrobat and the leader. Jason is the fighter. Tim is the detective. Damian the heir and Stephanie is the heart
I like what you did there.
I would go further to say Kelley is the ingenuity and improvisation on the fly. If Tim is the embodiment of prep time, she’s the utility belt come to life.
@matsujonen Damian is not the heir. If anything, he’s the youth.
@@robbyrhodes4572 he’s definitely the heir. Legally and metaphorically.
He is the blood heir to both Ra’s Al Ghul and his position as leader of the league of shadows.
And he’s the son of Bruce Wayne making him the heir to the Wayne estate.
And In multiple future timelines he becomes Batman. Making him the heir to the cowl.
He’s an heir to three entire legacies.
Wtf are you talking about?
@Prince_Luci 1: He can only be heir to one thing. He shouldn’t be worthy of the title of Batman because he is Bruce’s son. I’d rather have him take over the League of Assassins and reform it and then get killed off. He’s always been annoying. The one TRUE successor to Bruce Wayne is Terry McGinnis. Not Damian.
Nightwing: Golden Child
Redhood: Troubled child
"Red Robin": Child prodigy
Robin:Problem Child
Did...did you just say Steph was bluebird?
@@AgentNevets 😮💨
@@AgentNevets not yet, but it wouldn't really surprise anybody if she was given that at some point in some timeline she's had almost every legacy codename in the Batfamily...plus her own as Spoiler.
Spoiler becomes Robin becomes Batgirl becomes Nightwing becomes Batwoman. Stephanie Brown- the A+ Bat.
Why does Red Robin have Quotation Marks
@@The_WyattGuy the name keeps changing he has earned his own moniker just yet
Carrie Kelley needs more love. She’s over there stuck in an alternate reality while the other five get to be friends and family. It’s not fair lol
I need a story with Cassandra Cain and Damian Wayne trying to learn how to not kill or something like that
@@lajohnslar6719Cass ran away from the LOA because she was forced to kill someone
I love Carrie. She doesn't make a lot of sense, but I think she's great.
No she does not. She. was meant to be a one off. If you need a strong female member of the bat family might i suggest Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl aka oracle. Feinists constantly whine there are no strong female role models wnen in fact Batgirl is probably one of the strongest ones out there. Not familiar with her story you should get familiar.
Don't forget what they did to her in Lego Batman😢
I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I liked Jason Todd best when he was dead. He had a real impact on decades of storytelling, by being the only permanent death in comics.
that one Pychic kid in the teen titans comics and Dan Gareth: are we a joke to you.
I feel like I personally identify with Tim Drake. From his detective intellectual to his Specialty being a bo-staff. Gotham knights just reinforces that thought.
My favorite is Tim, but it kinda sucks that it seems like writers don't really know what to do with him. Everyone gets to grow, but him. He's still just Robin.
New 52 straight up sabotaged him I swear
Wish they'd do more
with Jason Todd/Red Hood
such a sad character…
Same! He's my favorite!
Not all Robins. According to Detective Comics #226, Bruce Wayne was the first Robin before he became Batman. In the story, Bruce Wayne trains under detective Harvey Harris as a young man and uses the Robin alias to hide his identity. He even wears the traditional Robin costume before Dick Grayson was born.
That was redacted from history in the Crisis and was only for that day...for most of the Pre-Crisis "Superboy" years of Bruce, he was known as the Flying Fox...who after the Crisis became his own Native Canadian character and acquired all of Batman's All-Star squadron appearances and briefly joined the Young All-Stars as well.
I love all the Robins. Wish DC would have a multiverse event so all the robins could be in a story arc together
Dick Grayson is my favorite Robin because I grew up on him. I grew up in the '60's and '70's.
Damien is Favorite I connect to his story!
Grayson IMO is the Best Robin
I personally like Carrie as Robin as well and to hear to went on to be great she definitely 3rd on my favorite list!! Great video thanks
Same Damien is my favorite his is the most organic Robin story
My Favorite is Damien Wayne.
Favorite robin gotta be Tim, just love him so much
I read the comics just to see him tongue wressle his boyfriend
Grayson is my favorite character to ever BE a Robin. Todd is my favorite within the mantle
Damien’s story is truly a tragic one.
Dick is and will always be the best Robin.
Nah Tim da 🐐
The robin outfit with no pant legs looks really bad considering Robin is an underage boy that lives with two adult men that are not related to him it's just a bad look for Batman
I feel like dick is the most fleshed out character out of the group maybe he’s not the best Robin but he’s the best character because of his growing character arc from his days with with Batman to the Titans to soloing bludhaven to spy agent and becoming Batman with his own Robin like they should give this man a show or movies
He was the best Robin. He was totally different from Bruce. Robin should be the opposite of Batman., not a copy.
@@gohanson27During his time as Batman, Dick was considered a BETTER Batman than Briuce, since he never lets himself succumb to the same darkness that consumed Bruce’s soul. That’s why Dick is the true “Heir to the Cowl”, because he never loses sight of what it means to be a hero, and always maintains his optimistic outlook.
Grayson:Skills
Jason:Anger
Tim:Intellect
Damian:Personality
Why no mention of the Earth-2 Dick Grayson? His career as Robin went in a completely different trajectory than Nightwing's.
Lol what happened
@@GENUINEKAI The golden age Robin grew up but never abandoned the Robin identity. He went on to college got his law degree and joined a Gotham City legal firm as a full partner, then joined the Justice Society of America after Batman semi-retired to raise a family. Bruce married Selina Kyle on Earth-2 and they had a daughter named Helena, who later grew up to become the Huntress. Robin also went into diplomatic service and was the US ambassador to South Africa during the 1970's. He returned to Gotham and rejoined the JSA permanently, teaming up with Huntress after Batman died in 1979. Together they were the new dynamic duo of Gotham until the Crisis on Infinite Earths obliterated the multiverse and merged all the remaining universes into one in 1986. Robin and Huntress both died during the final battle with the Anti-Monitor's shadow demons. However, after Infinite Crisis restored the multiverse a variant of Earth-2 was discovered where Robin and Huntress were still alive and serving with Justice Society Infinity. This was back in 2008 or so, and after that arc concluded, they haven't been seen since.
@@RetroBuck damn they gotta bring them back lowkey. Idk how tho
I’m sorry to say but Dick wasn’t the first Robin, because that honor goes to Bruce Wayne. It is revealed in Detective Comics Dec. No. 226. Dick’s Robin costume isn’t inspired by his costume as a trapeze performer because also in Detective Comics Dec. No 226 Batman shows Robin his Robin costume. Also Dick Grayson was actually 8 when became Robin but they retconned to say he was 12 and he was 18 years old when Superman told him the story of Nightwing.
That applies to Earth-1, and only in the Pre-Crisis continuity.
In the original timeline of Earth-2 which predates Earth-1 by many years, Dick Grayson is still the original Robin.
When the Crisis merged the Earths, Bruce being Robin for one day was wiped out of history until Wonder Woman restored everything to Prime Earth Continuity in Death Metal.
If Bruce was ever Robin...it would have only been as a way too easy to figure out thing....I mean Harvey Harris deduced it by him not even needing to look at the phone book to dial Alfred and Uncle Philip...as well as knowing he was in the Aquaman version of the "Boyscouts" called "Sea Scouts" at the time.
Dick Grayson is Nightwing is one of my favorite comic book characters and my favorite DC character. I'm an outlier from most people because I never liked Damian Wayne and his portrayal in the cartoons is beyond ridiculous. Even not liking the character, there have been some really good story arcs with him. It's criminal what they've done to Tim Drake in the last couple of years.
I love Jason so much 😭
Two of my Favorite Robin's is Tim Drake & Carrie Kelly
My favorite robin by far is Damian. I also love Jason Todd and of course, the original, Dick Greyson
tim drake loves dick too
Something I never see people point out but. Jason could have also taken down the Joker if he wanted to. Just aome interesting food for thought I imagine every now and then.
Ya he could but DC doesn't want to kill the Joker off because he makes them way too much money
My favorite Robin is Tim Drake
Greatest comic book character(s) of all time.
Yes i would love to see a full video on both Jason and Tim
my favorite robin is Dick but my favorite post robin is Jason or Dick. I like Jason pre ditching of guns and after that I became a huge Nightwing fan
The best Robin and the definitive Robin is Tim Drake.
How about one about every batgirl the teamed up with Batman?
After her interview with Renee (AEW), I go with Princess Amanta. But only after Athena. Athena is totally underrated and is amazing.
Jade is a great future movie star but her wrestling development is so slow, at best she's the next Goldberg.
Great video recap. Any chance to do a series on all the batgirls all the recent members of the bat family?
Didn't have volume very loud and thought he introduced Arsenal as Ar**hole
Thanks for the amazing video ❤
Why do people always include carrie even though she isn’t even cannon but always exclude Matthew 😑
I'm surprised you left out red headed Jason Todd 1.0 of the flying Todds. He is really a separate character from the Jason Todd 2.0 that you covered. 1.0 is from Earth-One while 2.0 is from New Earth. Same name but totally different characters.
Yes bring her back, they are all awesome.
if u havent already u should do the history of every batman
I always knew there were more than four Robins 😳 i could never find anything at all about Carrie Kelley, though, despite seeing her numerous times. I also keep forgetting Tim Drake exists, as the only version of Tim Drake's Robin I ever even saw was his appearance in the Arkham games
Given the amount of time since some of these videos were made i would have thought there would be updates.
47:25 Stephanie Brown was never Bluebird, that was Harper Row.
I honestly thought you'd include Harley Quinn which was my favorite robin as Batman was married to her.
Carrie Kelley is multiverse and doesn't count although its alright to love her
My favourite Robin is Damian Wayne, but if I was being objective I say Jason Todd had the Best Story just because how well known it is. But really I’d say every Robin has their own unique story which makes them that much Special from the Rest of the Robins. And in turn I’d say they all have Good and Unique Stories.
Carrie Kelly The Ginger Robin😅
Jason Todd is my favorite
carrie kelly should be the main Robin she is an amzing hero
Holy sidekicks,Batman!!
Very cool Thank you
My favorite Robin is Tim Drake.
Nobody cares about Carrie Kelley? She needs way more love
*Tim Drake* is hands down the best *Boy Wonder* and he's been *Robin* the longest.
No he hasn't, Dick was robin for over forty years
My favorite Robin is Helena Wayne 😁‼️
Hate to be 'that guy', but there is 1 Robin you missed. His name is Thomas Wayne, a decendant of Bruce's, in the year 3000. He dealt with an alien invasion of Earth, after his Batman (his uncle I think) dies. Was just a 2-part Elseworlds in '92 or '93 though...😬🤓
tim drake was a good robin dick grayson was my favorite tho u guys should know dick grayson becomes nightwing later on.
Of course they had to go woke with Tim
We need a video of Jason Todd
You should have said, "... All the HUMAN Robins ...", because otherwise you forgot Robin the TOY Wonder from the DC One Million mini series.
Wheres jarro?
Hated the reboot, Grayson became the second Batman and Bruce let him keep the title. Why can't we stick to that like when Barry came back from the speed force Wally kept being the Flash along side Barry!
I vpted to save Jason by the way
Is Jason Todd knight wing?
what about duke thomas?
Wait, Tim Drake is bisexual?!
Every Female Robin so far has been robbed, they have great introductions but then a new writer comes and fires her because they only care about the males Robin. Stephanie was great as a Robin, yet we barely have her for afew months
What About Bruce Wayne? OR Starro?
Reading lessons??? Babygirl is illiterate?!?! 😂😮😂
Terry McGinnis
Mine is jason
nice video
damn. He completely left out Black Robin Duke Thomas .
Damian is not only the worst Robin ever but one of the lamest characters in comic history.
Drake is the ultimate Robin.Grayson & Carrie are tied for second. (and it's a close second)
*Biological son
Something that never sat well with me, Dick came up with the name Robin because of his mother. Bruce took that and gave it to others. Shady businessman 🤣 I know the dynamic of Robin fits with Batman
There are only three robins
Batman is a terrible babysitter
Grayson-The best robin
Jason-the one who got shafted by the fans but came back as a bad-ass anti-hero
Tim-the robin who killed the joker and was possessed by him
Damian-the bastard who never understood what it meant to be Robin, let along fight alongside Batman
Stephanie-don't know anything about her so i can't really say
Carrie-the last Robin who rose during the event that killed the Batman**
tufff
Way too many goddamn Robins
I agree.
Cassandra Kane and Duke Dennis?
cass isn't a robin and never was, duke had some weird technicality meaning he's not a "real" robin but idk what it is
Now, son, on this action figure, show us where the Batman touched you...
What are you talking about
I like Carrie ! Tim is my favorite robin because it’s not fair to say dick when is he awesome as night wing and gets to be Dead wing. 🫡
My favorite Robin is Tim. I miss the days when Tim was a great character. DC should return him to the position he was in his solo series Red Robin and hire writers who wrote him before the Flashpoint.
Fully agree bro! Now they are just trying to Woke him into popularity instead of good writing.
I agree, there is a reason why Tim Drakes Robin was the only one to have his own series
hell yeah I love a guy that would do a bro a solid by gobbling his meat
I blame DC entirely because they wanted Damien to get more love from the fans and be “The” Robin.
Since Tim was already there and obviously the best Robin, even better then the original who grew into his own hero as Nightwing. The editors had to destroy Tim’s mystique and Top Dog status as Robin so I believe they purposely pushed out of his comfort zone and even rename him Red Robin. All this was done to let Damien move in to the spot vacated by Tim.
Let’s be honest if you don’t have Damien listed at best the 3rd best Robin but truthfully probably the 4th best only because Steph and Carrie weren’t in the role in enough stories, you have been hoodwinked by newbies to Robin’s history.
Sorry for the rant but this topic always sends me into a tizzy lol. Thanks for listening
Too late now, the made him gay specifically to push an agenda. Most people don’t like that agenda shit.
Amazing. My favourite robin is Grayson
oh yeah the original has to be my fave too.
Jason Todd on top
My favorite is Stephanie Brown
My favourite Robin is Dick Grayson
Here, here Sir!!!
Just thinking, this could’ve been a seasonal show on HBO Max. If this was Ben Affleck’s Batman, we could’ve had a season with every Robin. Telling their individual stories in a 6 episode show. Each Robin would’ve have a season every year. Then their older version appearing in the movies as Night Wing, Red Hood, Red Robin, Stephie Brown, Carrie Kelly and Damien Wayne’s Robin.
I wish
Not Ben Afflek, someone new.
If anything it can still be an HBO Mini option at some point, but how about getting actual acrobats to play Dick and Jason...granted Jason's not nearly as skilled as Nightwing, but he was an acrobat before he made "the Batmobile lose a wheel".
Hear me out. Jason is my favourite robin because of the relationship between batman and Jason. It opposed the og duo in the right ways and I love how his anger was visible as a character and showed a rough around the edges street kid be put into a role that was previously displayed as running like clockwork by dick Grayson.
Not sure how unpopular this opinion is, but my fave Robin is Stephanie Brown. I love her personality and her dynamic with bruce. Not to mention that she was technically the "violent" robin, considering she was the one to lash out a the most. I really wish they gave her a proper chance in the spotlight. As she was only meant to be robin for a bit, before being killed her off.
You're missing one Robin to this list. Back in the 90's, DC did a three part mini series with Bruce as a kid/young teenager. In this series, as he sets out to train with a detective, he makes the first Robin suit and the detective called him "Robin" due to the outfit looking a lot like Robin Hood.
Ah ah ah, you forgot:
Matt McGinnis
Duke Thomas
Joker’s disembodied head
Maps Mizoguchi
Bruce Wayne (in that one elseworlds)
Jenny Wren
Helena Wayne
Lance Bruner
Drake Winston
John Blake (technically)
In all seriousness though, good video. None of these others are necessarily important, they’re just more obscure ones that aren’t even consistent in continuity appearances
And jarro
Jarro and Gan too
HOLY DEEP CUT, BATMAN!
And you forgot Helena Wayne and Bruce Jr.
There's... There's so MANY!? :-0
Tim Drake is my favorite Robin
I love all the Robins, but I wish we got more Carrie sometimes. As I was watching this, I kinda want her to show up as a new Robin for Terry, since Matt is no longer around. With Terry having to find his own place as Batman, having him try to figure how he works with a Robin could be really interesting. Plus it would be fun seeing how she plays off a less serious Batman
I like Damien Wayne my favorite
The lack of a proper Robin movie where Batman is just the old mentor archetype and Robin is the main character is a travesty.
That’s basically terry mcguiness in Batman beyond
Mo@@tedpendagast579
My favorite and best Robin to me is Jason Todd the original badass Robin
I didn’t even know that Damian isn’t Robin anymore.
Edit: Okay so apparently after Stephanie, Tim became Robin again and then Damian did. So, he’s Robin again.
Me neither lol
He’s still Robin! You can see him in Batman and Robin (2023-). The order goes Dick, Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Tim again, then Damian
Personally I think Kelly just because compared to the others dc has done so little with her. Meaning she is a more consistent character and less authors have failed to understand her or unnecessarily assassinated her character. Sure almost all the others have better stories but because they appear so much its basically certain they will arbitrarily unlearn their character development.
I heard this line once and I will never forget it. A comic can be great. Comics are dumb. A natural consequence of a revolving door of writers
You missed the best robin ever. Jarro :(
If you don't mention Jarro I'll be very disappointed
