    Tim is the smartest Robin, easily. That's why he's going to change his codename to his SECRET IDENTITY'S LAST NAME.

      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.

      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.

Robins were and never should be born as robins or else it takes away any sort of growth.

    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.

    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.

      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

    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

    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.)

Unfortunately, I can't think of any name as cool as Nightwing, but I'll figure it out someday.

    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.

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.

    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).

    8:02 that is my, hands down, absolute favorite Robin costume. I wish he has that costume longer before becoming Red Robin. But I also like his Red Robin costumes except for his Rebirth one. I didn't like that is just looks like a Robin costume but with 2 R's. That's lazy and Damien is already Robin, he didn't need to look like another Robin. Now, for those of you 21+ yrs, take a shot for every time I said Robin.
