Who's your favorite Robin?

Featured Replies

I know everybody who's read Batman has their own take on this matter, and I just want to see what everyone thinks. I'm curious if they are any fans of Jason's time as Robin and same with Stephanie Brown. Or if you like Duke Thomas in the "We Are Robin" series when Damian was dead. Would love to see what everyone's thinking, as for me my favorite Robin is Tim Drake, however I think the best Robin would go Terry McGinnis. That is all.

So many great options to choose from!

I appreciate Steph's time as Robin but I actually loved her more during her stint as Batgirl. Also dig Duke, but again kind of like him more as The Signal.

My favorite Robin is by far Damian. I didn't like him when he was first introduced, but over time he's become my favorite. It doesn't even matter who he's paired up with, as the dynamic just becomes a different kind of entertaining. Whether he's alongside Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne, Wonder Woman, or the Titans, he's comedy and snark gold, and over time, he's also become more and more capable so he can actually back up the attitude with his skillset.

1) Damian Wayne, as written by Grant Morrison and only by Grant Morrison. IMO, much like Quentin Quire, that boy should have stayed gone once the story he was created for was over. No one else has known quite how to write an enfant terrible into a superhero story the way Grant does.

2) Carrie Kelley. I just think she's neat.

3) I'm partial to Tim otherwise, probably because he was Robin when I was growing up. I like Dick, too, though I always think of him as Nightwing first and foremost. I've never had any affection for Jason, and I missed Stephanie's time entirely, and haven't read We Are Robin (though they show up in Wayne Family Adventures, and that made me curious about them).

It took me forever to get on Damian's side but I totally agree, he's gotten so much better as time went on. He's perfect in any situation except Injustice honestly. Agree of Steph and Duke, I still wish he had become Robin officially during Snyder's run to this day. But I do love him as the Signal

I dig the choices you got and I think you hit it on the head with Damian during Morrison's time. I love Damian and Quentin a ton but nobody's done them the same since Morrison but I do like new spins on them, just Grant did it so effortlessly the first time. I completely forgot about Carrie but she's so good in her stuff.

As a character, Dick Grayson is my favorite of all of them -- BUT, I prefer him as Nightwing and not Robin. For Robin, I like Tim Drake the best.

I completely agree, Tim fits it the best as Robin but Dick Grayson is overall great
