Dick Grayson: becomes Nightwing
Jason Todd: becomes Red Hood
Tim Drake: becomes a restaurant
lmao
Lol you speaking facts tho
Red Robin....
*YUM*

Tim is the smartest Robin, easily. That's why he's going to change his codename to his SECRET IDENTITY'S LAST NAME.
Exactly what i was thinking. How dumb are these new writers?
To be honest, if I was going to give Tim Drake a new code name and costume, his costume would be an updated version of the pre-New52 Red Robin costume, and his code name would been Cardinal.
@@xanderg.1070 Good idea.....shit. Great idea. The comic industry needs an enema if they can't think like this. Definitely shows how they view the average reader and how much they care about the material.
JANKBOMB thanks man, also if I were to do something like that to Tim, I would have to do justice to the character and reason why he would change his code name. Cuz I know there are a lot of Tim Drake fans who like him as Robin, but I like him as Red Robin or something else cuz of the development he went to and it shows how he is more better detective than Bruce, but I also want to respect the fans who like him as Robin, so that won’t be devastated but understand why he change his name, unlike Bendis who just had Tim change his name bc he thought that his earth3 counterpart name is cool.
@@xanderg.1070 really cool idea and name for Tim it fits him perfectly. You should write comics!
Ra's al Ghul doesn't give out detective loosely but give it to Tim when they meet face to face
Because Tim had earned his respect because of his skills
@@mammaboy1 Most of the bat family has earn his respect but only two is getting the nickname of detective from him
Ra’s has called Nightwing detectives as well so that’s a moot point
The most underrated robin

Read Wargames and tell me your answer hasn't changed.
Definitely...
Na
Michael Bendis changing Tim's name and costume:
Me: look how they massacred my boy
slick vick UH CAN HE STOP RUINING EVERY CHARACTER. GO BACK TOO MARVEL, STOP RUINING DC!!!
No don't take him back to marvel and ruin the X-men again how about he just leave the comic book industry all together
He was ruined by the new 52. He went from being a favorite character of mine to someone completely new. All that history crapped on and discarded.
Lol drake is the name of a male duck
Damn I hate Bendis.
I never liked Tim's New 52 origins. I liked how the other Tim was just a kid who was inspired by the Flying Graysons.
Yeah I don’t like the new writers
I didn’t like the coincidence that Tim was in the flying Graysons show but him displaying his intellect and simply chiming in to help is such a simply good character start. 52 Tim is just an athlete AND a computer techie? Robins were and never should be born as robins or else it takes away any sort of growth.
He basically wrecks his own home life so he can go with Batman
@Smart Stuf It's an even better start since he's coming up as Robin #3, dude came on board fully of his own volition and was, more often than not, a consistently reliable partner who could hold his own and stay on the same page as Bruce
I prefer Dick as Nightwing and Jason as Red Hood so Tim may be my favorite Robin
Agreed
Same, but highly underused
Carrie Kelley #1
Tim's my favorite robin too!
I like Dick better as a character but think Tim is better as Robin. But I still like Dick's New 52 and Rebirth Robin costume better.
Spoiler: Batman takes a new identity “Wayne”
Since Damian is Bruce's biological son, would he change his name to "Lil Wayne"?
@@SchweitzerMan lol
@SchweitzerMan haha
Shut the front door
Don't forget the new 52 series Grayson
That insert of Drake was freaking hilarious 😂
I hate the entire "Drake" secret identity like Red Robin is way better I think they need to bring him back.
No. He needs a new name. (+)
El Plebe Uchiha Cardinal
@@sskies4972 Not feeling it, personally. I'd say Rook. Gray Rook. Red Rook. Dark Rook. Just me. (+)
Loopsad Exactly why he needs to do something no one from the Bat family has ever done. [+]
That's why I suggested Mallard or Darkwing to play with his creativity and fanboy atributes.
Tim is the perfect Robin because he has no Ego, never too prideful to think the sidekick/Robin role was beneath him. When Dick and Jason grew out the role, they took new identities distancing themselves from the Robin mantle, however even when Tim leaves his new name still has Robin in it.
Wow this is an EXCELLENT point. He moves on from the position with age like the rest but is the only one to keep the name Robin.
It's been almost ten years. TEN FREAKING years since Tim had his last solo series. I don't want him as a leader of any squad anymore I want my Tim Drake solo series!
DrAAAke?! DRAAAKE?! The character's last name, Bendis?! DRAAAKE?!
A Drake is the also a male duck
Snake? Snake? SNAAAAAAAKE!!!
Wow the forgotten robin the dc has done so dirty... I miss this Robin. He is actually my favorite one
The forgotten one huh? Tell that to Steph...
@@deadpool3982 oh yeah. Almost as if they are trying to retcon her... dang
@@calebhenderson6507 What happened to her anyway? Last time I saw her she was driving off into the sunset with Tim in Detective Comics.
@@Zeroblade57 I think she was in the second season on young justice. . But for like 2 seconds
I love how people are just like ‘Oof they don’t even care about Tim’ when actually they don’t care about any of the Batfamily
Tim Drake is the best Robin! End the “Drake” identity and make him Robin again, Bendis! Please!
What's wrong with it? Personally I never objectively liked him being Red Robin, I saw him as still being under batman in a way, while Dick and Jason became their own men, in name and identity. But I haven't read the new Young justice series yet, so Idk if they ruined his character or whatever.
@@infinitetranquilo what's wrong with it ? WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT ? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT TIM WOULDN'T BE THIS STUPID GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"Drake", the "most dangerous of birds". Wait, what, what the duck? Are the ducks on Earth 3 unusually dangerous?
@@JackA066 Well, there was that time he expressed envy over Dick's love life. Dick had only slept with two of the women on Tim's list of women Dick had slept with. (Why Tim keeps a running tally...) So, basically Tim's about as smart as the fan base.
MRGA
Make Robin Great Again
My favorite Robin and the best Robin. Still what Bendis did Tim I will never ever forgive
Drake + Poop Suit
Blackwing2040 indeed
and because of his drastic hero rebranding now he will get killed off in the next crisis
Zeal The Thorny Dragon which is the last thing I wanted to happen
@@zealthethornydragon yep
Tim deserves better :(
Ace Spitfire facts
Like a better code name unlike his current one: Drake. And red and black suit.
He is a DUCK now. Bendis wants us to suffer. Be strong, fellow Tim fans.
Yes.
What's great about Tim Drake's "tragic background story" was that it was unique. Unlike every other superhero, all the tragedy in his life happened AFTER he became a superhero. (If you don't consider parental neglect a form of tragedy, that is.)
Sidenote: New-52 SUCKS!!!.. Thankfully, the writers seem to be backtracking a bit on their "work" on Tim Drake, as of late.
**ACTUALLY..... I can get behind both Pre crisis and NEW 52 Tim drake.... BECAUSE REBIRTH TURNED HIM GAY...... SCREW THAT** (way worse and new comic tim right now sux too)
Drake? Seriously, WTF is Bendis just mailing it in??
Pretty much. It sucks, because this was a chance to finally give Tim a name that sticks. If it were up to me, I'd go back to Alex Ross' original Red Robin costume, with a few tweeks (black with some yellow, no red, and remove the chest straps), and rename him something as cool as Nightwing. Unfortunately, I can't think of any name as cool as Nightwing, but I'll figure it out someday.
@@irishjet2687 Maybe Tim could've become the new Flamebird
@@irishjet2687 Cardinal would be a cool name.
Omer Aliuddin he could’ve, I just don’t think bendis is all that smart tbh
@@youngrezzy3308 you're right, bendis and thinking things through don't seem to go together along with continuity, he really hates that stuff
I always liked Tim best. I think mostly since nothing came easy for him back when he was introduced and started out. He was humble and really had to work hard at it. He wasn't a natural acrobat or a street brawler or had secret assassin training - he was just a kid with a lot of heart, talent and a willingness to listen, learn and put the effort in.
The first Robin miniseries demonstrated that point perfectly. He got the shit beaten out of him by everyone who trained him but it always ended with Tim learning from his losses and finding a way to win. At the end of it all he had to stop King Snake from releasing an eco bomb of bubonic plague on Hong Kong and fight King Snake in his penthouse lair basically single handed. And he had to use everything he had learned up until that point to even have a chance to win
Also I feel like Tim doesn’t get much love now a days (I mean tv and movie wise). He hasn’t really appeared that much over the years I feel like it’s either dick or Damien and sometimes Jason. The only things I can think of that he’s appear in Batman TAS universe, Arkham games, batman unlimited movies, young justice and I think in the anime Batman movie. That just doesn’t seem like a lot of appearances to me.
arkham robin is so dope
Yeah he is underrated
I dont think hes in the anime batman
Compare it to Jason who in media has really only appeared in Arkham Knight, under the red hood and Titans. Yeah he's had a few cameos here and there but they're the only ones he's really had any sort of significance whereas Tim has had significantly more important roles, BTAS, batman unlimited, Arkham city and Knight, YJ.
And damien well he only really appears in injustice and the dcamu
Also Jason highlights an important part of Batman's past, his biggest failure. Tim on the other hand is probably his biggest accomplishment, has a successful successor to the cowl
Basically they all get their moment to shine.
The Hero Of Tomorrow
Jason is the one that barely appears not Tim
One of my favorite Tim Drake moment was from Prodigal. Tim was at the movies with his girlfriend when a bunch of bullies beats him up, but he can't fight back because he doesn't want to blow his cover as Robin. At the end of the issue, the lead bully comes back for more. He says, "Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide, Drake!" Tim thinks himself with an evil glint in his eye, "No witnesses!" and proceeds to beat the crap out of the punk with a huge grin on his face.
Can't fight, because they will figure out that he is somebody else who can fight. But he'll go on to rebrand his superhero alias as his own fucking name? DRAKE?
The simple fact that people like Ras Al Ghul recognizes Tim Drake for his skill and Tim threteaned Lady Shiva with killing her next time they fought goes to show just how badass this man is.
My favorite comic character! Can probably tell by my pfp too lmao. Not feeling the whole Drake thing too, just felt super lazy. His suit design kinda cool besides the brown.
Am a fan of Jason Todd
michhunt I love all robins
The Drake thing was so rushed. And yeah should've been black and red
Pizza Fish could have called him something better everyone be like that’s a bad name & people would probably figure out that tim drake is drake 😂
SilentWolfKills plus the whole reasoning for the name change is "Earth 3 me has a 'cooler' name than me so I'm copying him". It's so dumb and not very Tim Drake of him to do
In an alternate universe where everyone decided to copy Tim:
“Wow, isn’t it weird that BOTH Batman and Robin changed their names to WAYNE”
“Yeah, it’s almost like they’re father and son fighting crime together and that’s just their last name”
“Yup”
And scene
Imagine changing your name to a duck and wearing diarrhea colours. That's Bendis for you.
😂😂😂
You don't know how happy this makes me feel to have my favorite Robin have his own episode
9:15 Love that Drake jump cut!!
Mario Caez I was wondering what the hell that photo was
Cool. Can’t wait for Damian Wayne.
Can’t wait for your history on Darkseid.
I’m surprised that there’s now an official episode of Tim Drake.He’s been my favorite Robin since 2nd grade.I like Dick the second, Jason the third and Damian the least.Seriously, if Damian thinks he's the best Robin, he's is in for a rude awakening. He kills and is arrogant.I was laughing during the Drake part, but it would've been funnier if you included Drake Bell too.I also remembered when Tim said he'll never be Batman in the titans future comic.I guessing you'll never know what'll happen in the future even though you time travel.
Please be respectful of the comments I'm getting, since it's only my opinion.
Issa cartoon calm down
In terms of character I actually like Damian a lot more than Tim especially in super sons. I’d prob rank em 1.Dick 2.Jason 3.Damian 4.Tim
These Hoes NATION uh comic FYI and I’ve been a comic book nerd ever since I was 7.There’s no need to be rude.
Bobmarley 310 all he said was calm down...
Uh Damian doesn’t kill
“One of the best robins”. I love that line because there are 4 main Robins and they’re all awesome in their own ways
Tim Drake should have his own show he is awesome. He is just like Batman but without all the brooding.
tim is a bit brooding
He's like Batman but a bottom 😍🥵
lol you guys are not slick i saw drake between 5:46-5:47 😂
Ok...I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw the picture
I screenshot it lol
Yes!
Shawty you da best. You da you da best.
They snuck him in at 9:15-9:16
Felicity Smoak: I’m the Fastest Hacker In the world people!
Tim Drake: Let me Introduce mySelf
Lol
5:46 I'm not gonna lie that caught me off guard
Tim and Jason minding their own bussiness:
Fanfic writers: *its free real estate*
Haha I love this
Dick: Tim’s a better Robin than me
Me: THAT’S MY OPINION!
Tim is the most underrated Robin. Yes Dick is an awesome Robin and the first but he’s better as Nightwing, Jason is better as Red Hood, and Tim is the best Robin! He literally earned it and it wasn’t just handed down to him like the other 3 Robins
Damian is a better robin than tim
Im proud to say after all these years of saying Tim is my favorite and read everything about him, I knew everything in this video, for once. Also another feat of his intelligence, i dont remember the exact comic, but there is a time Bruce gives Tim a nearly unbreakable code to try and beat, expecting it to take days or weeks for Tim to solve it. Tim beat the code in 2 hours. Also loved the video!
Lmao that picture flash of Drake at 5:46 caught me off guard
You are absolutely right about Red Robin's cowl costume---that was the BEST design!
Don’t forget to make a video about Stephanie Brown, who was the fourth Robin.
BMB made Tim lose the coolest identity of Red Robin...to be a DUCK!!? FKN BENDIS
Favourite Robin, why Bendis had to go and ruin him I don't know since Red Robin was already cool
Lmao think we wouldn't of seen that fraction of a second picture of the rapper drake you put on there 😂😂😂
My favorite DC hero, my favorite Robin and one of the most underrated and underappreciated characters ever.
He also invented the first glider cape used by the Bat Family. It was in Red Robin when he searching for Anarky
YES!!! Variant doing a history of for my favourite character!!!
DC: What do you think about Tim Drake?
BENDIS: I don't like his style...I'll change him a bit.
ME: You changed him a lot.
Tim Drake is my favorite Robin because he’s smart, brave, and he proved himself to be Batman protege. He discovered Dick Grayson was the original Robin because Tim remembered seeing him do a quadruple somersault which only a Flying Grayson can do. Tim’s father was still alive but he was in coma after being poisoned by a supervillain and Bruce took him in.
Tim Drake also has relationships with other heroes; Stephanie Brown/Spoiler is his girlfriend and they are great together, Conner Kent/Superboy is his best friend and almost a brother to Tim, and Dick Grayson is pretty much his older brother who Tim views as family. Even Bruce Wayne himself kinda like a father to Tim so he’s well liked by a lot of heroes besides Damian Wayne who hates him for no reason at all (that little brat).
Thank you Variant!!! I was waiting for this video to come up!!
Tim got some of the best robin outfits.
“Next series was Robin two: Joker goes wild...”
Me: Boy that sure sounds like a 4 issue mini series.
Tim Drake is the best Robin there will ever be.
Correct.
Have been waiting for this video to come out, because Tim is my favorite Robin.
YES! I have been waiting for a history of Tim, thanks Variant
Tim Drake deserves more love these days...Hell, he deserves better portrayal and respect as a whole!
Tim is my favorite Robin I just wish we had more solo stories with him showing us his intelligence and skills that are mentioned constantly by other characters
Hell yeah!
Finally, I've been waiting for somebody to show more love and exposure for him...
my favorite robin
Thank you! I love the HISTORY OF videos
Tim Drake is the best Robin ever.
People ask me to choose my favourite Robin. But I never can. They’re all too good.
Tim became my favorite Robin when I used him on Arkham Knight. His design was pretty dope, and I love his fighting style with the bow staff
I love Tim drake robin he’s really awesome and the best robin in my book
Agreed
@@dcmarvelcomicfans9458 indeed :)
@@TevyaSmolkathanks and I don't like that bendis changed his name from Red Robin to Drake it just sounds stupid and the colors on his costume design look horrible like seriously they couldn't make it black and red
@@dcmarvelcomicfans9458 i don't like it either and in fact i am still pissed off that tim drake robin got his name change for bullshit
I grew up seeing Tim as Robin he's my favorite comic book character.
We really don’t get enough Tim Drake in media nowadays
One of the best Robins ever especially his Red Robin suit which is awesome.
I love this video so much: more Tim content please!
I’ve always loved Tim as the first Robin who wore pants.🙂
Tim Drake, the first Robin ever to wear pants
Yes Finally, I have been waiting for this
I think this is a really good episode...... thanks Valiant. I really like this.
As sweet as Tim's OG outfit was, the hooded Red Robin was badass and it pains me how quickly it was swept under the rug.
The drake picture flashed when he showed the new suit and name of tim and I died from laughter
I just started Rebirth Detective comics and I am at the part with the drones and then THAT part where HE was thought to be THAT made my cry especially when Batman saw the THING and the two affected persons hugged and felt EMOTIONS.
And then it was revealed he isnt what they thought he was.
Tim Drake is definitely my favorite Robin- thank you Arkham video game series!
Secret identities are pretty important, which is why in Young Justice, Tim Drake went by his name.
well in the comics things are different no one knows his true identity and reveals it only later when a bond was created between them
Tim has had some killer story lines ngl
Love your videos dudes
Thank you sir, this was amazing
The first Robin to actually cover his legs lol.
More tim drake, he is my favorite robin of all time
Finally! My favorite Robin is getting the spotlight!!!
Red Robin: restaurant name as codename
Tim thought when he chose this: just adding some red so I still can use Robin's name
You know even though Tim has such a good setup of skill he is always downplayed by his bat family and it disappoints me. Now he isn’t my favorite but I still love the character
The best Robin. Also even having not even read the new comics, I'm just going to guess Drake means dragon instead of referring to Tim's last name.
I hardly knew a thing about Tim Drake, let alone that he was held to such high regard.
You forgot him outsmarting Ra’s Al Ghul and temporarily defeating the League - where he takes out multiple metas at once (Council of Spiders), knows when he needs help and asks for it, and ends up being called ‘detective’ by Ra’s, which appellation the immortal reserves for Bruce as a show of respect.
Tim is the true Robin ,
Dick was always Nightwing
Jason is always Red Hood
My favourite robin!!!!
How did I go my whole life without hearing about this one?
I don’t know if it’s only me but I feel like no one talks about Tim drake much but he’s super cool
They should make Tim Drake Red X.
Hell yeah !!!
Eh Red X I want to say was Jason Todd but sure
My fav robin clicked soon as i saw it
I want a tv show about Tim Drake
9:15 Pause it perfectly and this is why we appreciate the editors
You should do a history on the most underrated robin: Stephanie Brown
Entertainment Clips wait who is thar
That

Hey Arris, I was wondering if you could go into alternate versions of the Jason Todd (Also known as the Red Hood) (Though I don't know if there are any other versions other than Grifter from flashpoint, or from the arkham series.)
My fav. Robin thxs
Tim’s original origin is so much better. It shows how intelligent and devoted he is.
