I like what you did there.

[@Prince_Luci]

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.

[@robbyrhodes4572]

@matsujonen Damian is not the heir. If anything, he’s the youth.

[@Prince_Luci]

@@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?

[@robbyrhodes4572]

@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.

[@fdjtron1732]

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.

[@dwingsworld2581]

Fully agree bro! Now they are just trying to Woke him into popularity instead of good writing.

[@christianemden7637]

I agree, there is a reason why Tim Drakes Robin was the only one to have his own series

[@mlongpre100]

hell yeah I love a guy that would do a bro a solid by gobbling his meat

[@josephsokolowski271]

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

[@CaptainRockoBD]

Too late now, the made him gay specifically to push an agenda. Most people don’t like that agenda shit.

[@starrygemi8793]

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. 🤜🤛

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.

[@Terra8419]

Don't forget what they did to her in Lego Batman😢

[@thebigpat799]

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.

[@peachy_talisman]

I wish

[@Superlad9494]

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".

[@chriscard7353]

🔥🫡

[@Saintbow]

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.

[@jarviscampbell8866]

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.

[@christianemden7637]

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.

[@jettlucashayes8508]

that one Pychic kid in the teen titans comics and Dan Gareth: are we a joke to you.

[@SebastianMedland-Booth]

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.

[@Justin_flowers9]

Jason is also my favorite I used to read all kinds of superhero comics dc marvel x men and what not but the first dc movie I ever watched was Batman under the red hood and ever since then my favorite robin and been Jason Todd/The Red Hood but before watching that movie I had only watched marvel superhero movies

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.

[@CalderTF2]

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.

[@bemiatto67]

New 52 straight up sabotaged him I swear

[@Camo1177]

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

[@SteveLaughter-e8j]

The lack of a proper Robin movie where Batman is just the old mentor archetype and Robin is the main character is a travesty.

[@jamesgreen1838]

Dick Grayson is my favorite Robin because I grew up on him. I grew up in the '60's and '70's.

[@kjtoonsva8006]

Carrie Kelley is by far my favorite Robin. It sucks that she's secluded to her own alternate universe, her dynamic with Batman is incredibly complex and interesting and I'd love to see how she interacts with the other Robins. Praying for a day when she's made canon to the main storyline.

[@jackdanulsprime2077]

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.

[@Superlad9494]

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.

[@doughytown4188]

[@EricFrey-o2s]

Yes i would love to see a full video on both Jason and Tim

[@brandongarcia6845]

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

[@gohanson27]

He was the best Robin. He was totally different from Bruce. Robin should be the opposite of Batman., not a copy.

[@ITSupermanTI]

@@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.

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.

[@AstraFulminous]

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.

[@thehillbillygamer2183]

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

[@BrokeBoiMelo]

hello, great video, may I ask where you got the music for the intro, specifically at 1:03? thanks!

[@mjsimunovich013]

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.

[@Superlad9494]

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.

[@joshuashibata1840]

Great video recap. Any chance to do a series on all the batgirls all the recent members of the bat family?

[@RetroBuck]

Why no mention of the Earth-2 Dick Grayson? His career as Robin went in a completely different trajectory than Nightwing's.

[@GENUINEKAI]

Lol what happened

[@RetroBuck]

@@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.

[@GENUINEKAI]

@@RetroBuck damn they gotta bring them back lowkey. Idk how tho

[@serenityr943]

DC needs to do something with the way they jump around with the stories. Crazy! I’ve heard friends talk about all the reincarnations and how the story switched, but this man’s narration explains it better than they did.

Greatest comic book character(s) of all time.

[@Upintheairideas]

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.

[@yiklongtay6029]

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

[@bryanmahoney3434]

Tim Drake was the best detective out of the Robins, Damien Wayne's obviously had Bruce Wayne's personality, Dick Grayson was a green hero during his time as Robin. Didn't fully find himself until he became Nightwing. Jason Todd was the most brash and violent. Honestly had a closer personality to that of Slade Wilson.
