The ComicBook/New52 Robin of Earth 2, currently operating as the ComicBook/{{Huntress}}. The circumstances of her tenure will be expanded on in ''ComicBook/WorldsFinest''.

As time went along, the implications regarding a [[HoYay rich adult who lived alone with a traumatized teenage orphan boy]] (Alfred the Butler would not become part of the Batman home until sometime later) garnered [[MoralGuardians negative media attention at the time]]. Comic books were unreasonably (and nonsensically) blamed for everything from juvenile delinquency to homosexuality, and the "indecent" relationship between Batman and Robin is often cited as one of the major reasons for the creation of UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode that spelled the end of UsefulNotes/TheInterregnum and the dawn of UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks. Robin's reputation as a character suffered its greatest blow in this period, and the repercussions are still (somewhat) felt to this day (such as in parodies like the [[Series/SaturdayNightLive Ambiguously Gay Duo]]). Outside of comics, new media involving the two has tended to split them apart. Batman has remained consistently popular and has been subject to [[Film/Batman1989 many]] [[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns darker]] [[Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy reimaginings]], but Robin has found [[ComicBook/{{Robin}} more]] [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} success]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 away]] [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010 from]] [[OvershadowedByAwesome his/her mentor's shadow]].

After ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', Jason was {{Retcon}}ned to be a [[DarkerAndEdgier former teen delinquent]] to distinguish him from Dick Grayson. This version was [[ReplacementScrappy unpopular]] with those who had grown up with Dick Grayson (including his writers-- when editorial wanted suggestions for a character that could be killed in an [=AIDS=] storyline, Jim Starlin put his name in), so he was KilledOffForReal by the Joker in the infamous ''ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily'' storyline in 1988. This death was significant in a number of ways: first, whether he would live or die was put to a readership vote (via a hotline number: 5,271 votes for him to live, 5,343 votes for him to die). Second, just like ''ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied'', this was a tragic event which codified UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks. Third, this would top the Clown Prince of Crime's list of most heinous acts (following the shooting of ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} by only a couple of months) and cement his status as one of the most despicable villains in comics' history. (And as a bonus, [[AlasPoorScrappy some people thought his death was... a bit TOO mean.]])\\\

The Dick Grayson from the the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] Earth-Two and Pre-[[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths Crisis]] Earth-2 who died during the crisis at the age of 57. Distinguished from the mainstream Dick Grayson in that he never stopped being Robin, even after becoming an adult with his own superhero career, and the fact that his middle initial is "M" rather than "J". Years after his death ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'' came along and retconed it by pulling him and ComicBook/{{Huntress}} into the event, and had him accept the Batman mantle after prompting from Helena Wayne.

Robin is a Creator/DCComics character created as Franchise/{{Batman}}'s sidekick in 1940 and best known as the TropeMaker and TropeCodifier of the KidSidekick archetype. There have been many, ''many'' [[LegacyCharacter different Robins]] throughout the character's publication, but most of them have common elements. With only a few exceptions, they are usually orphaned teenage males with some sort of acrobatic or martial arts prowess and wear a brightly-colored costume (typically red, green and yellow).

After Dick Grayson, a new character named Jason Todd was introduced as a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute (right down to origins as an orphaned circus acrobat). He acted nigh-indistinguishable in such stories as "ComicBook/ForTheManWhoHasEverything", where he's instrumental in saving the day and Franchise/{{Superman}}, Batman and Franchise/WonderWoman's lives. In the AlternateContinuity series ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'' where an aged Batman comes out of retirement, he's long since died. When Batman decides to keep Carrie Kelley (see below) as Robin, Alfred objects because of [[NoodleIncident what happened to Jason]]. Batman says that Jason was a "good soldier", but the war continues.\\\

Tim's status quo was changed forever in 2004, after the death of his father, whereupon Batman adopted Tim as he had done with his predecessors. The tragedy continued with the seeming death of his girlfriend Stephanie Brown (on this very list as Robin IV), the death of his best friends [[ComicBook/{{Superboy}} Conner Kent]] and [[Franchise/TheFlash Bart Allen]], the institutionalization (and THEN death) of his stepmother, and ultimately the death of Franchise/{{Batman}} himself. Following this TraumaCongaLine, Tim was forcibly retired as Robin and became the third Red Robin.\\\

* KidHero: One of the earliest superhero examples, although Franchise/SpiderMan would become the TropeCodifier for comics.

** Dick Grayson became the ''second'' Nightwing,[[note]]Franchise/{{Superman}}, in a temporary identity, was the first[[/note]] and upon Bruce's "death" became the third Batman.[[note]]The second being Jean-Paul Valley in ''ComicBook/{{Knightfall}}''[[/note]] Dick was also [[{{Retcon}} belatedly revealed]] to not even have been the first Robin, as Bruce Wayne himself assumed the role for a brief time in his own youth.

* ''ComicBook/{{Knightfall}} /Knightquest/Knightsend'' - Introduces Bane, who after forcing Batman to run a gauntlet of his worst enemies, breaks Batman's back. In response Bruce promotes his latest sidekick ComicBook/Azrael to Batman status. Due to Azrael having not shaken the effects of being brainwashed into an assassin Robin III (Tim Drake) is forced to try and hold Gotham together while clashing with the new Batman after being kicked out of the Batcave in Bruce's absence.
* ''ComicBook/BatmanContagion'' and ''ComicBook/BatmanLegacy'' Two arcs which pretty much go together back-to-back. In the former, Gotham has to deal with an outbreak of Ebola-A, which Robin III (Tim Drake) contracts, and chronicles Batman's attempts to help contain and cure the virus. After which, in the latter, Ra's Al Ghul makes his return to the Batman books as he unleashes a massive plague upon Gotham City, as a test run to unleashing the virus upon humanity. Batman is forced to call in all of his allies (Catwoman, Azrael, Nightwing, and Robin III) to help stop Ra's Al Ghul.

* ''Cataclysm'' and ''ComicBook/BatmanNoMansLand'' - An earthquake hits Gotham and rather than rebuild the U.S. Government orders the city sealed off. As Batman and his allies struggle to keep the peace, it becomes apparent that [[spoiler: Lex Luthor is behind the government turning its back on Gotham City. With no government in the city, Luthor plans to destroy all records of land ownership to claim the city as his own, but fails when Batman stops him (though he is unable to prove to the world what Lex did)]].

In the ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' relaunch, Tim Drake's original backstory was restored including his time as Robin before becoming Red Robin and began dating Stephanie Brown a.k.a ''Spoiler'' until he apparently was killed in the line of duty. However, he returns and becomes a more active member of the Bat-Family. He then starred in ''ComicBook/YoungJustice2019'', where he was using the Robin moniker again, before changing his superhero identity to Drake, inspired by an EvilCounterpart from Earth-3, in issue 10 of the series. After it ended, he would return to using Robin and Red Robin, with the specific name employed alternating randomly. In 2021, Tim was revealed to be bisexual, and began dating his old school friend Bernard.

As time went along, the implications regarding a [[HoYay rich adult who lived alone with a traumatized teenage orphan boy]] (Alfred the Butler would not become part of the Batman home until sometime later) garnered [[MoralGuardians negative media attention at the time]]. Comic books were unreasonably (and nonsensically) blamed for everything from juvenile delinquency to homosexuality, and the "indecent" relationship between Batman and Robin is often cited as one of the major reasons for the creation of UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode that spelled the end of UsefulNotes/TheInterregnum and the dawn of UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks. Robin's reputation as a character suffered its greatest blow in this period, and the repercussions are still (somewhat) felt to this day (such as in parodies like the [[Series/SaturdayNightLive Ambiguously Gay Duo]]). Outside of comics, new media involving the two has tended to split them apart. Batman has remained consistently popular and has been subject to [[Film/Batman1989 many]] [[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns darker]] [[Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy reimaginings]], but Robin has found [[ComicBook/{{Robin}} more]] [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} success]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans away]] [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010 from]] [[OvershadowedByAwesome his/her mentor's shadow]].

* ''[[ComicBook/GrantMorrisonsBatman Batman and Robin (2009)]]'' was the first original comic to bear the name despite the dynamic duo's enduring place in pop culture. It starred Dick Grayson taking on the mantle of Batman, with Damian Wayne as his Robin.

* ComicBook/GrantMorrisonsBatman: A group of {{Story Arc}}s all written during Creator/GrantMorrison's run on ''Batman''. All titles are connected by a large overarching storyline, and Morrison himself says that he intends for this group of titles to be [[WritingForTheTrade part of a series]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. The Robin appearing here is a mix of the first and third Robins. Leader of the Titans team, this is the first version of Robin that act independent from Batman (who is never mentioned in the show with just some hidden reference). It's intentionally left ambiguous which Robin he is as has never been directly referred to by full name. The style of this version's costume is still closely modeled on Tim Drake's first costume. Most people assume that he's Dick Grayson, since most of the clues point to it—the biggest of which being an AlternateUniverse counterpart with the name Nosyarg Kcid (Dick Grayson spelled backwards). He is voiced by Creator/ScottMenville.

** Jason became the next Batman in an alternate world shown in ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis [[note]] Earth-15[[/note]] after it's revealed that Batman died in his place. Also, gun-toting Batman in ''Battle for the Cowl''.

** In ComicBook/DetectiveComicsRebirth, Tim is revealed to have become a gun-toting KnightTemplar Batman in another BadFuture (or possibly the same one), being the last Robin to take up the mantle: Dick retired and left Gotham, Jason was crippled, and Damian [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope Jumped Off The Slippery Slope]] and killed millions before Tim [[DeadlyEuphemism "did what was necessary"]].

* SaiGuy: Lynx's right hand man is armed with a pair of sai, which he ends up dropping when Tim breaks his nose.
