I wouldn't really recommend them to anyone. Killing Tim Drake the second he was reunited with batman was stupid, along with Alfred being killed by Victor Zasaz of all people. Injustice also did Damian wayne dirty as well. It ruined his reputation for some people. Joker nuking metropolis just gives fuel to the "batman should kill" argument. The best thing to come out of injustice is plastic man's characterization and Alfred decking injustice superman in the snozz.

They definitely don’t though lol. All the robins are separated, and instead, a lot of elements from Tim are from Dick. That aside, every Robin is distinct and they don’t take many elements from each other. No previous Robin had to be changed to fit Tim, that’s just bias because you like him more.

@@joshuastruggs1307 in a way they kind of were. Dick had to become robin in order to avenge his parents. Jason became robin to lead him on a better path away from the streets of Gotham. Damien only grew up knowing violence and killing, so Bruce made him robin to reel him back in and slowly bring some sense of normalcy and humanity in his life. Tim went out of his way to approach Batman so he could become Robin. Everyone else was assigned the role by Bruce, instead of volunteering like Tim.

[@AdamYJ]

Tim Drake was the "Spider-Man" Robin. He was the relatable teenage hero. Much of the appeal of his tenure was seeing how it affected the rest of his regular life. Unfortunately, nothing seems to get outmoded and replaced at DC faster than the "relatable young hero". The first one they had was Firestorm back in the 70s and early 80s. But then his popularity waned and Firestorm faded into the ether. The '90s had a bunch of them of different stripes. Tim Drake as the relatable high school kid. The Ray as the guy struggling with early adulthood. Damage as the reluctant young hero who felt like his life was out of his control. And who can forget Kyle Rayner as Green Lantern? And now they've all kind of diminished in importance. The latest in that line is probably Jaime Reyes as Blue Beetle. Good luck, Jaime. I hope you last a little longer.

[@kevthepoet]

Tim Drakes original training arc with Lady Shiva is one of my favourite comic book stories.

[@Beriorn]

I remember seeing a page where Tim Drake was investigating a murder where the prime suspect was Bruce Wayne. Dick was appalled that Tim even considered that Bruce might have actually done it, and Tim replied that he has to investigate any angle and accept any possible answer, including one where Bruce actually did kill someone. Dick responded by punching Tim in the face. That for me defines the two's relationship to Batman: the prodigy who cannot get out from under the shadow of the batcape, and the one that plays to the role without letting his own feelings get in the way.

[@Brosati68]

Tim’s red and yellow goes so hard. Honestly Red Robin is a sick character too I love the look and the idea of each Robin having some sort of evolution into a new character after their time as a Robin

[@TheShockVox]

He certainly used to be….then The New 52 happened….Tim was actually the character that got me into comics. I’d wiki dive during class about Him, Dick, and Jason. Him leading the Titans, his time as Red Robin after Bruce “died”, him being the Robin with the staff, his genius, etc.. He was the coldest Robin. He didn’t feel edgy like Damian or Jason, because he was cool without it. Hell part of what I loved was how close he and Dick Grayson were before the New 52. Dick and Tim really considered each other brothers, and even an equal (which is why he didn’t want Tim to be his Robin when Dick was Batman). He wasn’t the best fighter of his family but he was so smart he made it work. But they KEEP GIVING OTHER ROBINS TIM’S STUFF! STOP GIVING DICK AND DAMIAN THE STAFF! Tim specifically chose the chose a staff while training with Lady Shiva, because it’s nonlethal and compensates for his lack of being a physical prodigy like Bruce or Dick. Ra’s called him Detective. Tim is the GOAT. And they fucked it all up. And no it’s not just because they made him bi out of nowhere, they’ve been missing and abusing Tim before that.

It's such a shame DC barely acknowledges his presence now and seemingly has no clue what to do with him. (Also adding this quote here because I like it a lot and think it summaries my feelings better than I could). "Dick saw being Robin as a thrill. It's probably why he outgrew it. Jason saw being Robin as a game. It's probably what got him killed. But Tim...I have to hand it to the boy. He wants to be the world's greatest detective.

Red Robin was an evolution from the identity that Tim adopted when Batman was gone effectively Growing into his own man under the name. He wasn't exactly Robin in that comic. He wasn't the boy wonder he was a Mature equal to Batman who no longer needed him. Damian being Robin was more effective with Dick as Batman but Tim still can retain that identity because it is essentially an amalgamation of Batman and Robin's identities into one form. Which matches his character to a T.

[@moshymosh]

That’s my problem with Red Robin, it feels hard to grow past Robin when it is literally still part of the name. It always felt very one foot in, one foot out rather than an entirely new moniker to truly stand on his own. Having him stay as Red Robin is the most boring second-hand option. I'm sick and tired of people moaning on about Red Robin being the most viable option. It's lazy and absolutely ignorant to think he cannot find new ground with a new name and design. Red Robin worked as a stopgap at the time, it was clear he wasn’t a sidekick but he was still a Robin, because he never felt the need to breakaway from Bruce in that story. Problem is now, it is clear he 100% outgrew Robin, but he's still in denial about it, just like the stans. He could become so much more and he deserves so much better, but he chooses to limit himself because doesn't want to acknowledge he's been replaced as Robin. He needs to cope with that, just like the stans who don't like change. Ergo, new moniker. Plain and simple.

[@moshymosh]

@@rhyswallace3590 As it stands now, Tim is stuck in a middle ground where it feels like he’s not allowed to progress, but the world around him is. Even that brat Damian feels like he’s developing a lot more than Tim, which shouldn’t be the case given how much longer Tim has existed. Again, Red Robin worked as a stopgap that was tied to a significant event (RoBW). But forcing that as his new identity is lazy. He needs to move on. He needs to break new ground. Something else entirely. He should definitely advance beyond being Robin, and I don't think Red Robin is the right moniker for him at all. He needs an identity that isn't about still being Robin, only with a different color. And while his Red Robin series was great, chances of Tim going back to how he was portrayed in that are slim. Right now Jason is occupying the edgy, morally gray and brooding ex-Robin niche. Damian is taking over the Lazarus / Al Ghul stories, and the plotline of finding an identity that is more than just his parents' son, and Dick is getting the "center of the DC, stepping up to lead" plot. That leaves Tim mostly with the detective stories niche, which is what his series from 2 years ago was trying to do. Emphasis on trying here. It failed spectacularly. He needs something better.

[@rhyswallace3590]

​​@@moshymosh It's not that he didn't wanna accept he was replaced as Robin in fact when he was Red Robin he said "Damian as Robin felt good" Red Robin is an evolution of the mantle into a more mature and Batman like mantle. He used it to defeat Ra's Al ghoul...It's The Peak of Robins potential and it fits him because he is the only one who can take the Robin mantle passed the point of side kick. Growing it into a more mature mantle... Plus it's an homage to his Time as Robin...He admires Both Batman and Robin and embodies the best of both identities. he doesn't have to be anything else because he did surpass Robin as Red Robin...the problem is Ppl don't understand the difference between the two identities and Regress Tim Drake's character development.

Tim was considered the bang-on future inheritor of the Batman mantle at one point. He was the closest to Bruce in every way, but was more capable of bringing humanity into his work without sacrificing his safety or intelligence.

Out of all the Robins, I think Tim Drake earned the title of Robin the most since he had to undergo a lot of training and rejection from Bruce during a time when he was emotionally struggling and grieving from Jason's death, so you can imagine how much more belligerent and demanding he was to Tim after he willingly chose to be Robin. Tim acted as an emotional anchor so that Batman could heal again and find the empathy and compassion he had for others like his enemies, and that's one of the reasons why I believe Tim was the best Robin since he had both the natural detective skills and drive to be Robin while helping Bruce ground and maintain his humanity as Batman. Frankly, as much I love Damian's character and arc growing up in the comics and Im excited to see him in Brave and Bold, I do kinda wish that instead of Damian, they start the DCU Batman with Tim Drake as Robin. Since I fear that they might just skip over Tim's character since he's constantly getting s*** on by DC Comics and just straight up getting forgotten about since he's arguably the best person to have become Robin since he actually earned that title and role, and had natural detective skills to make him a great Robin and reopen Bruce's compassion for others even his villains after the Joker killed Jason and Batman became more brutal after being stricken with grief. Look, Im not saying they won't adapt Tim Drake; however, Im just concerned they may cut him out of the DCU since the movie already seems rather crowded with the Bat Family, and I fear they won't care enough to do something interesting with Tim Drake that shows why he's a vital member of the Bat-Family and what makes him different from the other Robin's

There has been some promise but he's still only the "smart one" when in the past he was much more than that.

Tim's my favorite Robin, and arguably the point where each of the Bat Family started taking on one of Bruce's skills as a specialty, while Bruce himself is a jack of all trades/master of none by choice.

THE BEST ROBIN. I love Tim Drake, I need him back

i recently read all the knightfall material and my biggest takeaway was how cool tim is

Tim Drake is my 2nd favorite Robin.

TALK TO EM!!! TIM THE GOAT

[@TidePodsRFood]

"You actually are the best Robin" - The Joker, after Barbara had a paraplegic crashout that left them both bleeding out

[@AustynSN]

One thing you hinted to but left out was the fact that the idea of being Robin didn't originally occur to Tim. When he went on his mission to convince Dick to return to the mantle of Robin, ("A Lonely Place of Dying"), Dick took him to the bat cave then drove off as Nightwing. As Tim was yelling at Dick as he drove off, then crying that "Batman doesn't need Nighwing. He needs... Robin." As Tim sat there, broken, thinking his quest had completely failed, he was utterly shocked as Alfred told him, "I believe, Master Timothy, that is why he brought you here." (One of my favorite scenes of the character.)

Thanks for the Tim Drake Love!!!

Tim Drake always been my favorite robin and his suit rn is so fire

[@metazoo4407]

Love this video, and I’m a big fan of your channel and I just gotta ask: was this video inspired by comic pop’s recent world finest video? Only reason I ask is because Sal goes on a tangent about how dc keeps taking things from Tim and diminishing his importance, kinda like your vid!

[@matthewnuss3053]

“Quit booing me, I’m right?” 😂💀

[@TheUnseenPath]

Why is it that every superhero have to have a tragic backstory? Why can’t just seeing an injustice be done to somebody else be more than enough?

[@Oddash-lz6kw]

4:18 To be fair... Tim was a little bit of a stalker fanboy when he was introduced. I mean, he was spying on Starfire in her apartment and following two well-known vigilantes to their dangerous fights. It's a testament to how well-written he is that people love him despite that weird intro.

[@718jef]

I didn't know that omg 😂 if dick or star found out he's dead

[@aarronobsidian5597]

I feel like it would be cool if Tim gets a solo run where he takes up the mantle of "The Question " not permanently but atleast for a little bit.

[@dylry86]

Renee Montoya is The Question and she’s damn good at it.

[@aarronobsidian5597]

@dylry86 yes she is awesome. As a detective under the GCPD. Mind you, I'm not one of those people who for some reason have a problem when women take up certain mantles. This just never suited Renee or i just wasn't sold on it if you get what I mean? Now Tim as the Question could be interesting. He is already a great detective so what would happen if he takes those skills further

Tim Drake IS my Robin Dick is better off as Nightwing Jason as Red Hood Tim is everything you need in a Robin Look Smarts Skills I HATE how they be having him non-existent

He’s better as Nightwing.

[@monobro141]

My view on Tim adaptation I've seen(expect this to be short) Injustice: It's Injustice Titans: Who DCAU: I like the design but it's just a recolor and is TRAMINDUSLY nerfed( I swear I love the DCAU but it's Tim,Nightwing and Catwoman are half baked to me)

[@renardofranklin608]

You should do a video about Conner Hawke Oliver Queens son he's never been talked about or Kyle Rayner's green lantern.

[@SirsasthNigam.]

I love the Webtoon "Batman Wayne family adventures" I love Bat family here , their banter and Tim Drake is Detective Red Robin here He and Damian had a fight which i loved very much after both had tough time teaming with each other I loved when Damian said that unlike other Robins, Tim chose his path, it wasn't forced on him or as some imagined birthright. And they became friends at the end of chapter I feel that writers get Batfamily and its because of this webtoon , i love Batfamily

[@lamedrawings]

Bro I miss the Red Robin suit so much, its an evolution of what he should look like imo, where Nightwing and Jason created new looks that are completely separate from the Robin mantle, Tim took the Robin suit and turned it into a makeshift Batman costume with the cowl on which shows just how similar he is to Batman mentally then any other Robin before or after him. That should've been his default look but no, gotta put him back in the Robin suit again like he's still a trainee next to Damien.

[@R3dmc7]

Facts, Tim Drake the best Robin. In my eyes, when i think of Robin i see Tim, hes the default. Jason my favourite though

[@dylry86]

I like Jason as Robin, specifically pre-Crisis Jason. I like post-Crisis Jason/Robin as well but he should’ve stayed dead.

[@scuttle2754]

dc please give my boy some crumbs. he can’t be eternally 17,,, can’t keep him in that robin suit forever. please dc, just help my boy out

[@glasses685]

My first introduction to Tim Drake was in the 90s New Batman adventures cartoon. Never realized it at the time, but that character was NOTHING like the comics version and was basically just Jason Todd lite. He wasn't really badly written in that show, he was just a different character. He's one of the better Robins for sure but they've never really adapted him well outside of comics.

[@infamouskid6413]

Tim was my Robin growing up as a kid through Comics and Arkham City and Knight. And Dick through Teen Titans but Tim Drake will forever be my favorite Robin
