Here it is, a much debated question amongst Batfans. Where do you stand? Dick Grayson  Jason Todd  Tim Drake  Stephanie Roberts  |

I enjoyed the Tim Drake Robin most...the banter between the 2, the chemistry was priceless.

I would like to clarify, that I hate ALL Robins and any thing remotely associated or presented as a side-kick. Robin was made for Camp purposes, to draw the child demographic to the comic in the early 50's and ever since has been a thorn in this Bat-fan's side. Logistically it doesn't make sense, neither does it storywise to have a complete bad-ass loner to want to take in a young boy and use him to help fight crime.
There, I got some of my Robin banter out. ;D

I voted for the Dead One, any dead Robin is a good Robin. Its just ashame all I got was this lousy T-shirt for voting for him.   |

My fav is Tim Drake.
I never cared too much about Robin (the character). I always worried about his costume. His mask is not that good. Anyone could tell it was Dick (or Tim). If more of his face were covered it wouldn’t bother me so much. It’s just kind of goofy. I did like the costume from the movies minus the nipples though.

I'd prefer Batman to work alone...Alfred was ok, but Robin was not needed. But since there have been so many, I like Tim Drake best out of all of em'.

Tim Drake is the best, because he's the most similar to Bruce, personality wise. Dick was too wise-cracking and happy. Jason was a punk. And stephanie was desperate to prove her worth so much she ended up dead because of it.
Robin can be a useful character in Batman's world, balancing Batman's edginess. But that's only if the story is told properly. Read Dark Victory or Robin: Year One for good examples.
Keep in mind that Robin is on his own now in Bludhaven.

Read Dark Victory or Robin: Year One for good examples. Easily the two best Robin stories with Death in the Family and Robin: A Hero Reborn, and Batman: A Lonley Place of Dying rounding out my top 5. |

Dick Grayson. The original. He had the main initial effect on Batman: he was an orphan who lost his parents because of criminals. True, Jason Todd had a big effect on Batman in his death, but the reason why he died was because fans hated him so much ;D.
Anyways, I've also thought of my favorite Robin actor. It's not Burt Ward, whose protrayal turned the character into a joke. It's not Chris O'Donnell, whose "I want a car. Chicks dig the car." make me cringe anytime I hear it. And it's not even Loren Lester, whose voice was a bit high pitched, IMO.
Nope, it's John Duncan from the Batman and Robin 1949 serials. Why? Well, the plot may have been corny...but the protrayals certainly weren't. Duncan's Robin wasn't just a sidekick, he was a partner that was just as competent in crimefighting as Batman. He didn't have any joking quips that have always been identified with the character. His Robin was introverted and intelligent. With a better script and costume, he would've been even more awesome.

The original one,as well.If not for anything else,then because of what happened between him and Batman and that he ended up as the Nightwing(who was one of my favorites,before I even found out that he was in reality Dick!).
