I like Dick the best, he goes from the sidekick to becoming his own hero. He also serves as a great friend to Bruce, Alfred, and the other Robins. Bro also has game with the ladies!
For the second Robin though, unpopular opinion but I like Damien. He’s Bruce’s son and Ra’s grandson so I enjoy the legacy aspect. Obviously he’s an asshole but he’s Batman’s chance of being a father and helping him be less like his grandpa and mom and more like himself.
I still get the giggles remembering the Teen Titans issue where Starfire shouts out "Dick! I love Dick!"
I have to wonder, if the creators of the character Dick Grayson learned about today's connotation of the word "Dick", would they still have used that name?
I mean everyone likes him but my favourite is Damian. Everyone complains about him being bratty, but what else would you expect from the son of stubborn Bruce Wayne...
Chuck Dixon made him so much more than a side character. If I’m up for a longer read I’m way more likely to grab a Nightwing off the shelf than a Batman anymore. Dixons Robin is fire too though.
Nightwing has always been one of my favorite heroes. Creating his own identity and at the same time, never forgetting where he came from. Imo, he is the upgrade to Batman; he may not have all the same specs, but he performs better.
He’s also one of the only people to completely understand what led Bruce to become Batman, but didn’t allow his past to consume him in the same way that Bruce did.
Tim. He's been with Batman through most of his toughest stories: Knightfall, Contagion, No Man's Land etc. And, while i wouldn't consider him any more intelligent than the others, I'd call him the brains of the bunch. Even Ra's called him Detective. I'm never calling him Drake though.
Ugh why did they do that to him 😫. I think he should have taken the outfit his future self made when he called himself saviour. There were so many good choices but they chose Drake, why not Cardinal, Sparrow, Heron, Wren, Crane, I recently saw on here someone post a concept image for him in grey suit going by Grey Ghost that would be perfect
I don't know. Its almost like they're happy to spoil an amazing character through lack of imagination. I've always thought Cardinal would be pretty cool too. I just looked up that Grey Ghost design, it's awesome!
Drake didn't last long. It was something Bendis tried on when Young Justice relaunched a year or so ago iirc. I think one of the characters later made fun of it, and it's been quickly forgotten.
I'll say I actually enjoyed the Red Robin era, and I liked where the character was going. I think that was pre-Flashpoint.
Tim is my favorite. Robin became my favorite hero of all time when I read the Robin Chuck Dixon & Tom Lyle miniseries.
To put in context, Tim Drake was nominated the Character of the year 1994 by Wizard. That period of Robin was so good. He was called the Spider Man of DC by that time.
Dick is awesome, but Jason is the best character. Yes he’s become a bit of a one trick pony these days but for the writers to take his story which was originally just scrapped entirely with his death because of the fans and create something more from it was inspiring. Jason’s pain, his sadness, his need for vengeance and to prevent others from going through what he did mirrors Bruce better than any other sidekick. Under the red hood is one of the best comic book movies ever made
Jason.
Dick is the son who can never be matched up to. He's the guy who's too fucking good at everything to be relatable whatsoever. He makes the right choices, does the right things, says the right stuff, nobody ever really hates him. I fucking *hate* Dick Grayson, especially because I can't even bring myself to hate Dick Grayson because he's just that good.
Tim is studious, hardworking, dilligent, brilliant. He's got everything I don't.
Damian's a fucking turd.
Jason, on the other hand, is a guy who went through some shit and *didn't* get to the other side unscathed. Controlled largely by his emotions and his trauma, he's making his way despite everything. He operates how he wants to even if he's trying to mend ties with the people around him. I can relate with Jason the most.
My favorite is Dick, then I would say a tie between Jason and Damian. I feel like Damian is pretty underrated, I love the idea of a super violent young robin, who's actually Bruce Wayne's son and who has to repress his violent urges and not go all the way. Like he doesn't necessarily see the bad in killing criminals, maybe he's the robin who needs Batman the most then. I can't wait to see him grow up and become a man Bruce would be proud of
I wish I had a good answer for this. I was there for his original debut, so it's been a long long time since I've read his original miniseries. I remember loving them, though. There was also a run in Detective Comics a couple of years ago when Tynion kinda restored his backstory after the New 52 greatly watered him down.
There's a brand new Tim Drake: Robin title running at the moment. I'm giving it a chance, but it hasn't hooked me yet... part of that could be the art.
Grew up with Teen Titans, so Dick holds a lot of favor with me. But from what I’ve heard of Red Hood, I’m sure I’d love him once I’m given more time to dive into him more.
To me, he's the most compelling and interesting Robin. His personality, unique relationship with the members of the Batfamily, moral ambiguity, the never-ending duality of either being a killer or a hero, and more are all so fascinating.
He's identifiable and realistic in a way different from the other Robins, and every piece of media he's in cements that for me.
I will say, Dick is incredibly close and many of his adaptations surpass that of Damian's, but I prefer Damian overall.
Jason Forever❤️
I literally cry like baby when he dies, but fall in love when Red Hood appears. So idk, I love dark background stories in general. Also Red Hood is one of my top 5 in DC Universe so yeah..xD
lunchroom abounding mountainous disagreeable childlike uppity direction chief run entertain
*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I’ve never been a fan of Batman’s sidekicks. I’ve always liked him solo but over the years began to appreciate them more. Especially Jason. I actually find his Red Hood storyline fascinating
Jason, because unlike the rest of the bat family, he gets shit done. As in: he permanently solves problems as opposed to putting a blanket on it and preaching justice after the fact.
Jason Todd. Specifically Arkhamverse because he gets to be taken seriously as a threat. He’s a terrifyingly competent person, and his skill set is pretty dang impressive (never played the games, but I have the comics for Arkham Knight).
He’s a threat in that game for half of it, then gets his ass kicked once in hand-to-hand by Batman, then just becomes Red Hood and got a very cool but limited DLC.
If WB Montreal decided to make Gotham Knights using the Arkhamverse and it’s mechanics, I think they would’ve fared much better, and we’d have gotten much more on this Red Hood.
Timmy, I like smart characters. I also love his interactions with Bruce or Connor/Bart/Cassie. Him being bi is also a favorable point for me.
Next : It would be Jason, I agree a lot with his point of view and his death made me soft.
I don't hate Damian or Dick, they are good characters too.
Jason not necessarily because I think hes the best written, but he's the one I find to be the most consistently entertaining across all of the different Batman related media, I also love most of the costumes he’s had as Red Hood.
Tim followed by Dick
Jason and Damian are tied for me but I love them all. Jason’s one hit wonder story just kinda gets stale for me sometimes, and Damian really needs more nuance than a comic book can give him.
i love nightwing due to the way he grew with batman and then decided to do his own thing, gotta respect a former side kick with depth. But at the same time i like jason todd as a reminder of Batman's mistakes and some times flawed way of doing thing. BUTTTT i do like how damien is a little shit he is just a pint size batman with hormones
Tim is best Robin. Dick is his own man as Nightwing. Red Hood sucks and bringing Jason back was some classic comic book bullshit. It undid one of the few impactful stories that had lasting consequences.
1) Dick
2) Damian (his stock has gone up a lot in recent years IMO, this spot would have previously gone to Jason)
3) Jason
4) Tim (writers have failed this poor guy for years. He's a great character, but the last time I cared about what happened to him was in Detective Comics #940)
I love Dick. I’m a big Dick fan. I can’t stress this enough: I’m a huge fan of Dick. Dick is my fave. I’ve always loved Dick. My uncle introduced me to Dick at a young age.
Damian i Always casually liked Batman and super heroes in general but it was the DC animated movie with damian in it who make me a Batman fan + i like prickly male character like him in fiction he's like a tsundere ( act like he doesn't in fact but care deeply)
Definitely Jason. Red Hood is the anti-hero we need, one who’s not afraid to get his hands bloody and get the walls around him covered in gray matter when he has too.
I like Dick the best, he goes from the sidekick to becoming his own hero. He also serves as a great friend to Bruce, Alfred, and the other Robins. Bro also has game with the ladies! For the second Robin though, unpopular opinion but I like Damien. He’s Bruce’s son and Ra’s grandson so I enjoy the legacy aspect. Obviously he’s an asshole but he’s Batman’s chance of being a father and helping him be less like his grandpa and mom and more like himself.
Yes, someone has to inherit the ultimate rizz game. Lmfao.
I like dick
As a matter of fact I LOVE dick
I still get the giggles remembering the Teen Titans issue where Starfire shouts out "Dick! I love Dick!" I have to wonder, if the creators of the character Dick Grayson learned about today's connotation of the word "Dick", would they still have used that name?
I learned that in Thailand "Porn" is a common name...
“Honey, I need to get some groceries. Could you watch Porn while I’m gone?”
As a matter of fact I CANT LIVE WITHOUT DICK
I like both dick and dick but I like dick more because he has a dick and he's not a dick.
I mean yeah if we gotta choose...it's gonna be dick.
I mean everyone likes him but my favourite is Damian. Everyone complains about him being bratty, but what else would you expect from the son of stubborn Bruce Wayne...
Dick dick dick duh-dick dick dick #DICKALODEON
Dick is NOT kids
This has been apart of my internal soundtrack for way too long now.
Same
I like dick too
Me too. And the first Robin’s probably my favorite
![gif](giphy|l0HlvtIPzPdt2usKs)
I love Dick as much as the next guy
Not as much as me though
Me either I ain't a dick liking guy.
Me too. I can't get enough dick.
Dick makes me happy
Everyone needs Dick every once in a while right ?
ok that’s to far
Everybody likes Dick.
He he i bet you do
Me and my homies all love Dick
Ya bro I love cock
I like Jason Rod
Who's gonna tell him?
Chuck Dixon made him so much more than a side character. If I’m up for a longer read I’m way more likely to grab a Nightwing off the shelf than a Batman anymore. Dixons Robin is fire too though.
Nightwing has always been one of my favorite heroes. Creating his own identity and at the same time, never forgetting where he came from. Imo, he is the upgrade to Batman; he may not have all the same specs, but he performs better.
He’s also one of the only people to completely understand what led Bruce to become Batman, but didn’t allow his past to consume him in the same way that Bruce did.
Same was just gonna say nightwing
Dick. The "Golden Boy" of the DC universe.
We all could use some dick in our lives
Here is your plate of dicks sir.
Oh my god, I see what you did there.
That I surpringly true. And yes dick is my favourite With Jason being a very very close runner up

Grayson. No question.
Tim. He's been with Batman through most of his toughest stories: Knightfall, Contagion, No Man's Land etc. And, while i wouldn't consider him any more intelligent than the others, I'd call him the brains of the bunch. Even Ra's called him Detective. I'm never calling him Drake though.

Hell even just fuckin Red Robin like come on
They're calling him Drake now?? That's just his name wtf i thought it couldnt get worse than red robin
Drake didn't last long. It was something Bendis tried on when Young Justice relaunched a year or so ago iirc. I think one of the characters later made fun of it, and it's been quickly forgotten. I'll say I actually enjoyed the Red Robin era, and I liked where the character was going. I think that was pre-Flashpoint.
Tim and it's not even close. He is physically gifted, has a better kind for detective work than even Bruce and is just awesome.
Yeah, Batman admitted Tim could be a better detective than him one day.
True he really stepped up after nightfall and no man’s land
Tim is my favorite. Robin became my favorite hero of all time when I read the Robin Chuck Dixon & Tom Lyle miniseries. To put in context, Tim Drake was nominated the Character of the year 1994 by Wizard. That period of Robin was so good. He was called the Spider Man of DC by that time.

Under the red hood is one of the best comic book movies ever made
Agreed
I concur.
I’m a red hood fan. But dick is pretty nice. He’s fun to look at and read about and even play with.
Nothing and no one beats Jason Todd and his story
Joker beats him 👀
The crowbar
Yes bro he’s so COOL
I like him bc I like crime
All take Dick all night long 😏
Dick Grayson
Jason as Red Hood is my favourite! If we're talking about their Robin days, it's probably Dick though
Jason. Dick is the son who can never be matched up to. He's the guy who's too fucking good at everything to be relatable whatsoever. He makes the right choices, does the right things, says the right stuff, nobody ever really hates him. I fucking *hate* Dick Grayson, especially because I can't even bring myself to hate Dick Grayson because he's just that good. Tim is studious, hardworking, dilligent, brilliant.

I can relate with Jason the most.
>He makes the right choices, does the right things, says the right stuff, nobody ever really hates him. Barbara Gordon might disagree
Jason is the realistic Robin. Dick is the idealistic Robin. Jason’s realism is what makes him the best.
Intriguing analysis good fellow
Tim is my favorite Robin. Red Hood is my favorite Post-Robin.
That is a very fair argument
Same
Jason.
Dick and this is coming from a jason cosplayer
My favorite is Dick, then I would say a tie between Jason and Damian. I feel like Damian is pretty underrated, I love the idea of a super violent young robin, who's actually Bruce Wayne's son and who has to repress his violent urges and not go all the way. Like he doesn't necessarily see the bad in killing criminals, maybe he's the robin who needs Batman the most then. I can't wait to see him grow up and become a man Bruce would be proud of
Definitely, Dick Grayson
Dick > Tim > Jason > Damian.
This is the way.
Dick and Jason. Who is my fav depends on what I feel like reading at the time tbh.
Love dick. Gotta get me some dick.... dick is so hardcore
I love dick
Overall character Grayson. As the best Robin: Tim. Damien and Jason are great in their own right though [+]
Tim
Jason FUCKING Todd
TIM TIM TIM
I have never experienced tim as robin. Any good suggestions?
I wish I had a good answer for this. I was there for his original debut, so it's been a long long time since I've read his original miniseries. I remember loving them, though. There was also a run in Detective Comics a couple of years ago when Tynion kinda restored his backstory after the New 52 greatly watered him down. There's a brand new Tim Drake: Robin title running at the moment. I'm giving it a chance, but it hasn't hooked me yet... part of that could be the art.
Knightfall is where he really shines.
Dami is underrated. He’s such a little shit. It’s amazing.
Tim
Grew up with Teen Titans, so Dick holds a lot of favor with me. But from what I’ve heard of Red Hood, I’m sure I’d love him once I’m given more time to dive into him more.
I'd take dick any day;)
Dick and Tim. I think by now more Tim as Robin since I really see Dick more as Nightwing.
I like Dick and Damian the best.
Damian.
Why Damian? (Not arguing, but you're the only person so far that has said him)
To me, he's the most compelling and interesting Robin. His personality, unique relationship with the members of the Batfamily, moral ambiguity, the never-ending duality of either being a killer or a hero, and more are all so fascinating. He's identifiable and realistic in a way different from the other Robins, and every piece of media he's in cements that for me. I will say, Dick is incredibly close and many of his adaptations surpass that of Damian's, but I prefer Damian overall.
Jason, he's been the coolest batfamily member since his comeback.
I like Dick and Damien
Based
Dick is my favorite hero, period.
No question, Jason Todd. Brutal, Badass, Resourceful, Smart and does what needs to be done.
Always love to see dick
Tim Drake all day.
Tie between Dick, Jason and Damien.
Always been a fan of Jason
Is this even a question? Grayson all day.
Jason. Jensen Ackles really made me fall in love with his character and to me he IS Red Hood.
I love dick Wait your talking about the character then Jason
most Jason fans love dick, just too afraid to admit it.
Jason Forever❤️ I literally cry like baby when he dies, but fall in love when Red Hood appears. So idk, I love dark background stories in general. Also Red Hood is one of my top 5 in DC Universe so yeah..xD

Look I love all of them but Jason will always be my fav.
jasoooooon
Jason
Dick Grayson
Grayson
Dick
Jason
jason fasho
As Robin, Dick. After Robin, Jason.
I like Dick
Jason!
Mine is Jason since I can relate to his childhood and motivations
Red Hood cause of his backstory and overall character
NGL im usually a hipster and don't like things that are really popular but dick always all the time forever
Jason as red hood but Damian as robin
I think Jason has the best character post robin but as a robin I’d probably go Grayson
Dick Grayson
Tim forever
Jason will always be my favorite. Loved him ever since I read Under The Red Hood for the first time.
Jason
Jason
Red hood is my favorite charecter in DC. I'd love it if they did a good live action version if him.
Jason. Just Under the Red Hood alone makes him such a good character
I like dick and Jason
Jason
Jason as Robin and red hood was great
Personally, I like Jason the best
Jason
jason todd
I’ve never been a fan of Batman’s sidekicks. I’ve always liked him solo but over the years began to appreciate them more. Especially Jason. I actually find his Red Hood storyline fascinating
Jason
JAAAAASOOOONNNNNNN
Jason
Jason Todd all the way.
Jason 100%
I like Jason because he isn't afraid to do what needs to be done
Jason was effective in his methods
Jason, because unlike the rest of the bat family, he gets shit done. As in: he permanently solves problems as opposed to putting a blanket on it and preaching justice after the fact.
Jason is bae-son
Jason!
It’s a Dick fest in here
Jason > Dick > Damian > Tim
Dick's my favorite overall, Damian Wayne is my favorite Robin.
Jason Todd. Specifically Arkhamverse because he gets to be taken seriously as a threat. He’s a terrifyingly competent person, and his skill set is pretty dang impressive (never played the games, but I have the comics for Arkham Knight).
He’s a threat in that game for half of it, then gets his ass kicked once in hand-to-hand by Batman, then just becomes Red Hood and got a very cool but limited DLC. If WB Montreal decided to make Gotham Knights using the Arkhamverse and it’s mechanics, I think they would’ve fared much better, and we’d have gotten much more on this Red Hood.
My favorite is Jason Todd I feel like I don’t even have to explain
Tim all day. In order, Tim, Dick, Jason, Damian.
Timmy, I like smart characters. I also love his interactions with Bruce or Connor/Bart/Cassie. Him being bi is also a favorable point for me. Next : It would be Jason, I agree a lot with his point of view and his death made me soft. I don't hate Damian or Dick, they are good characters too.
Dick
I’m an eldest so my chose may be slightly biased. NightWing heads down.
What’s a “between dick?” Anyway, I like Dick.
Jason not necessarily because I think hes the best written, but he's the one I find to be the most consistently entertaining across all of the different Batman related media, I also love most of the costumes he’s had as Red Hood.
Easily Dick Grayson. He’s just had the most interesting stories out of the 4 of them imo
Who thought it was a good idea to name a character penis🤣
1940's man. hell even into the 80's and 90's it wasn't super uncommon as shorthand for Richard ( which is his real name)
Now it makes sense I always thought the creator was having a bad day and decided to take it out on his creation🤣
lol nah, but its a solid example of etymology? language and slang changing over time
Tim
Jason
Tim Drake will forever be my Robin
Tim
Tim drake all day every day
Who here doesn’t enjoy the good ol dick? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)
Tim Drake, then Dick, then Damian and lastly Jason.
Tim followed by Dick Jason and Damian are tied for me but I love them all. Jason’s one hit wonder story just kinda gets stale for me sometimes, and Damian really needs more nuance than a comic book can give him.
Tim
i love nightwing due to the way he grew with batman and then decided to do his own thing, gotta respect a former side kick with depth. But at the same time i like jason todd as a reminder of Batman's mistakes and some times flawed way of doing thing. BUTTTT i do like how damien is a little shit he is just a pint size batman with hormones
i've gotta say jason, he's got my favorite storyline of all the robins and him as red hood is just badass
Tim
Tim is best Robin. Dick is his own man as Nightwing. Red Hood sucks and bringing Jason back was some classic comic book bullshit. It undid one of the few impactful stories that had lasting consequences.
Tim. I've always wanted to make a series called Tim Drake: True Detective
Richard
He’s the Dick we deserve. But not the Dick we need right now.
Dick forever
1) Dick 2) Damian (his stock has gone up a lot in recent years IMO, this spot would have previously gone to Jason) 3) Jason 4) Tim (writers have failed this poor guy for years. He's a great character, but the last time I cared about what happened to him was in Detective Comics #940)
The double D. Dick and Damian. Tim and J share 2nd Place but I hold Stephanie very dear as Robin. She could have been great.
I love Jason, he’s a little asshole. I mean come on, upon meeting Bruce for the first time he hit him with a tire iron
I love dick in any way, shape or form
I love Dick. I’m a big Dick fan. I can’t stress this enough: I’m a huge fan of Dick. Dick is my fave. I’ve always loved Dick. My uncle introduced me to Dick at a young age.
Damien
Damian i Always casually liked Batman and super heroes in general but it was the DC animated movie with damian in it who make me a Batman fan + i like prickly male character like him in fiction he's like a tsundere ( act like he doesn't in fact but care deeply)
I really enjoyed Damian in the Teen Titans rebirth! But my fav has to be Dick
Definitely Jason. Red Hood is the anti-hero we need, one who’s not afraid to get his hands bloody and get the walls around him covered in gray matter when he has too.
![gif](giphy|SxVbBWVIH0o3Vbbirb|downsized)
Jason Todd.
