!!Tim Drake
[[quoteright:312:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/timdrake01_128.png]]
* AscendedFanboy: He was a longtime fan of the original Batman and Robin.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Chuck Dixon has mentioned that he had "Jewish" in mind while writing the character, but his series never explicitly stated his religious leanings.
* AudienceSurrogate: Tim is the most 'normal' Robin, thus very relatable. This aspect of him contributes greatly to his popularity.
* BadassNormal: As with all members of the Batfamily.
* ChickMagnet: [[NerdsAreSexy Despite being kind of a nerd]], he has been attracting a lot of superheroines/villainnesses even at a young age, namely Lynx I, Spoiler, Dava and Darla Aquista.
** Jubilee from the Marvel/DC crossover.
** In the Red Robin series, Lynx III.
** Secret and Arrowette in Young Justice
*** ''"It's the cape. Chicks dig the cape."''
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the later series, it's common for Tim to be portrayed as the uptight, slightly neurotic and neat freak person he is. But in his early appearances, he was just an average boy who had a messy room, posters of female models on his wall and stays up all night with dorm mates to watch football and play video games.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He has often blamed himself for the deaths of classmates that he had failed to save, despite the fact that the victims brought it on themselves. He's also so dedicated to crimefighting that he would drop everything and anything to change into his Robin costume when he sees any sort of crime in his vicinity, mostly at the expense of his girlfriends, family and friends.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Tim's stepmother Dana. When his dad was KilledOffForReal in ''IdentityCrisis'', Dana had a nervous breakdown and [[PutOnABus shipped off to a sanitarium in Bludhaven]] [[DeusAngstMachina the city that would soon be completely destroyed]] in ''InfiniteCrisis''. It was never confirmed if she was killed in Bludhaven. Neither has her continued existence.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Tim has been drawn differently by multitude of artists in his 20+ year history, but there are a few constants in his appearance: spiky, gelled-up hair; average height and a slim body type.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[{{Spiderman}} Peter Parker]].
** It's no secret that Chuck Dixon based Tim Drake's adventures on the first 50 issues of [[{{Spiderman}} The Amazing Spiderman]]. Fans used to compare him to the iconic Marvel superhero, calling him the Peter Parker of Gotham.
* GradeSchoolCEO: For a time after Bruce's death, Tim Drake (as one of his legally adopted sons) had significant control over Wayne Enterprises as one of its owners. He is apparently still a co-owner along with his father and brothers, despite being a teen.
* HasAType: He has a thing (a.k.a gets turned on) with girls wearing the [[SpyCatsuit Batgirl costume]]. Firstly when Cass wore Barbara's old costume and then later when he sees his on-off girlfriend Steph in her new Batgirl costume. Being Robin himself this isn't a surprise, seeing that Robins are always attracted to Batgirls.
** He may unconsciously have a thing for blonde girls, as evidenced with Steph and Wonder Girl. Ariana even once accused him of it, saying that she bleached her hair because she thought he liked blondes.
* HollywoodNerd: Despite having interests in DungeonsAndDragons, Film/BladeRunner and computers, he's a generally attractive and well-adjusted teenage boy. In fact, later on in the series he has seemingly dropped all of his geeky hobbies.
** He's more of a {{Geek}} than a nerd, though.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Tim never wanted to be a crime-fighter permanently. He just wanted to be Robin for a while until he could retire and go on with his life.
* JumpedAtTheCall: He became Robin because he figured out who Batman was and recognized Bruce's SanitySlippage without a teen sidekick to keep him honest.
* KidHero: Unlike his predecessors, Tim was the first Robin to operate solo in his own book and was considered more of a hero in his own right than just Batman's KidSidekick.
* LegacyCharacter: Both series were bursting to the seems with these guys. You had: Robin III himself with both his predecessors and his successors, two Batgirls, two female ninjas named Lynx, two Anarkys (one the original, the other a repurposed General), the Red Robin identity (Jason Todd's Countdown suit worn first by the General, then Tim himself), and both [[{{Azrael}} Azraels]].
* LonelyRichKid
* MissingMom
* NiceGuy: One of his most defining traits. However, he TookALevelInJerkass in the Red Robin series.
* ParentalAbandonment: He was neglected by his jet-setting parents, and was often left alone at home with his housekeeper.
* RedIsHeroic: Tim has always been associated with the color red since his inception.
* SidekickGraduationsStick: His transition from Robin to Red Robin.
* SecretChaser: he knew Batman and Robin's civilian identity since he was ''nine'', and finally seeked them out when he noticed that Batman was getting more unstable after the death of Jason Todd.
** Vicki Vale in the Red Robin series -- she figured out 3/4 of the Batfamily identities, with the exception of Steph, Cass and Damian.
* TheSmartGuy: Most Robins play this role on teams, but Tim is the Smart Guy amongst Smart Guys. It's usually acknowledged that he's the most intelligent of all of the Robins, and even Batman himself has said that Tim will one day make a better detective than him.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Following his mentor's footsteps.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: A big component of his characterization in the Robin series. In Red Robin he finally gives up on this trope and ditches school entirely, a year short of graduating high school. (It's hinted that he's homeschooled instead).
* WiseBeyondTheirYears
