** Tim acted as the foil to Dick during Dick's first run as Batman, being a the new kid who nonetheless is serious and well trained but not really a natural fighter rather being more cerebral to Dick's experience and frequent lightheartedness and natural physical talent. In this case they're both good fighters, planners and detectives, their strengths are just in different arenas.
** Stephanie was designed as a foil to Tim in the ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'' where she was the deuteragonist to Tim's protagonist. She was impulsive and hot-headed, setting out as a hero with a single quickly reached goal but never planning on retiring to civilian life where he was more calculating, cautious and rule abiding and set out with a long term goal but considered his role as Robin a temporary thing he'd retire from.

The show has been praised for returning the relationship between Dick and Batman to its roots-- in other words, they get along. Dick becoming Nightwing here is not because he and Bruce can't see eye to eye, but simply because he's grown up. Jason Todd has only been seen in a memorial and named only in promotional materials for the video game, while Tim was a supporting character in season two. Another notable thing the show did was give all three Robins unique costumes easy to tell apart. This is the first [=TV=] series to acknowledge the existence of all of the first four Robins.

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).
Robin was originally conceived as a [[KidAppealCharacter vehicle to draw younger readers]] -- [[TropesAreNotBad and it worked]], doubling Batman's sales figures from his first appearance onward. Afterward, Robin became a staple of the Batman franchise's humor, as well as being a {{Foil}} against his mentor and providing the Dark Knight a character to whom he could [[TheWatson exposit his many heroic feats]]. Unfortunately, this also had the side-effect of making Robin into a DistressedDude who barely contained a tenth of the skills or competence of his partner.
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]]. [[NewMediaAreEvil Comic books were blamed]] for everything from juvenile delinquency to homosexuality [[RedScare to communism]], 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 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/{{Batman}} many]] [[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns darker]] [[Film/TheDarkKnightSaga reimaginings]], but Robin has found [[ComicBook/RobinSeries more]] [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} success]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans away]] [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice from]] [[OvershadowedByAwesome his/her mentor's shadow.]]
Despite their usual role as a supporting character, the Robins are well-known for several events which helped modern comics to their current form--all of which will be noted below, in the description of the Robin they pertain to. It's also notable that the individual Robins often become popular in their own right. All five Robin characters are currently in print, with two headlining their own books, two co-starring alongside other sidekicks, and the newly-reintroduced Stephanie Brown making the rounds of guest appearances. All are featured in the weekly series ''ComicBook/BatmanAndRobinEternal'', although Stephanie has never been Robin in this version of events.
Compare and contrast ComicBook/BuckyBarnes, Creator/{{Marvel}}'s take on the classic KidSidekick later updated for modern readers.

The most famous Robin is the original, Dick Grayson, who held the identity from 1940 to 1984. Grayson, however, gave up the name to forge a new career as the hero ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}. Since then, the mantle has been passed several times, although [[LiveActionAdaptation other]] [[AnimatedAdaptation media]] usually use Dick Grayson in the role.
Dick Grayson had his own solo feature in ''Star-Spangled Comics'' from 1947 to 1952, and an additional feature (billed as "Robin, the Teen Wonder" throughout most of the 1970s, usually as a backup in ''Batman'' or ''Detective Comics''. The latter stories typically featured Grayson as a college student at Hudson University. He has also been a staple member of the ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' since the group's inception in 1965, typically acting as [[TheLeader team leader]] and TheSmartGuy. It was in this series that the character really grew into his own, especially when the book was retooled as ''The New Teen Titans'' with the inclusion of four new [[KidHero teen heroes]] who were not conceived as sidekicks to adult heroes (although Beast Boy was a {{Transplant}} from [[ComicBook/DoomPatrol another series]]). It was in the pages of ''The New Teen Titans'' that Nightwing was originally born.
It's worth noting that Dick Grayson was Robin from 1940 to 1983-- 43 years, by far the longest tenure. Jason was Robin from 1983 to 1988 (5 years, with a reboot in the middle), Tim from 1989 to 2009 (20 years), Stephanie for one story arc, and Damian from 2009 to 2013 and from 2015 onwards (five years). The Golden Age Robin of Earth-2, who stuck to that identity long after he passed into adulthood and middle age, died alongside his partner the ComicBook/{{Huntress}} at the end of the ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' event which rebooted the DC universe.

!!!#2)[[ComicBook/RedHoodArsenal Jason Peter Todd]]
%%[[quoteright:217:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jasonrobin.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:217:Jason as Robin]]
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.
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 SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker in the infamous ''[[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily A Death In The Family]]'' 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 SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker's list of most heinous crimes (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.]])
For a time, the most famous thing about Jason Todd was that he (like his ComicBook/CaptainAmerica counterpart ComicBook/BuckyBarnes), had [[DeathIsCheap remained dead]]. For years, Batman kept a poignant memorial with his [[TragicKeepsake empty costume]] in the Batcave ([[MythologyGag directly lifted from]] ''The Dark Knight Returns''). Since then, however, he has come BackFromTheDead and has re-adopted several identities which were once used by other characters: the Red Hood (originally used by SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker), Red Robin and Nightwing (both originally used by Dick Grayson). Since his return, Jason Todd has become even more of an AntiHero than ever and is even sometimes cast as a villain for both Batman and Nightwing, standing in opposition to their ThouShaltNotKill ideology.
He's gained a new fanbase since his resurrection, both for being the one who will do what Batman won't and for being a general bad boy. Since the 2011 reboot, he's become a lot more stable and while he remains an AntiHero, he's slowly becoming less antagonistic towards his father and brothers, with mixed results.
Jason's also notable for his part in what is considered a monumental achievement of [=DC=] animation: ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood''. Written by Creator/JuddWinick, who originally pitched and wrote Jason's resurrection in the comics, he took the movie as an opportunity to revise and vastly improve on the original story, tightening up the plot and, most notably, changing the method of Jason's resurrection from a gimmicky tie-in to an event crossover to the Lazarus Pit, a well-established element of the Batman mythos. Even those who want their hotline money back would rather consider it canon.

[[folder: Robin III, '''Red Robin''', Tim Drake]]
!!!#3)[[ComicBook/RobinSeries Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne]]
%%[[quoteright:217:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/timfirstcostume.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:217:Tim in his 1[[superscript:st]] Robin costume]]
The third Robin was Tim Drake, who broke the mold of the previous two in several ways; he was not an orphan (his father was still alive when he took the mantle); he was not as light-hearted or whimsical as either of his predecessors; being Robin was [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld only a part-time thing]] and he only saw it as a temporary necessity, planning to go back to his normal life after he put in his service. He was also the first Robin to maintain a long-lasting solo series (lasting from 1993 to 2009) and, after Dick Grayson, is the second-most famous person to hold the role. Tim was also a founding member of ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'', along with Superboy and Impulse, where he played a similar role that Dick Grayson had played within the Titans.
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.
Following the New 52 reboot, Tim still leads the Titans and was still Jason's successor as Batman's ward, but he never actually used the Robin name, having used the Red Robin name for his entire career. On top of that, his parents are still alive and [[spoiler:he's no longer actually called "Tim Drake" either, as Batman gave him this name after his parents were placed into Witness Protection following Tim stealing a large sum of money from the Penguin]].

[[folder: Robin IV, '''Spoiler''', Stephanie Brown]]
!!!#4)[[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Stephanie Brown]]
%%[[quoteright:217:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stephanierobin.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:217:Stephanie as Robin]]
In 2003, Tim Drake retired as Robin to pursue an ordinary life. Batman picked Tim's supporting character and LoveInterest Stephanie Brown, the daughter of the minor villain Cluemaster who had adopted the heroic identity of Spoiler, to become the new Robin. Stephanie's tenure as Robin was rife with controversy, including the insinuation that her promotion was a failed BatmanGambit (by the TropeNamer himself no less) to anger Tim Drake into returning as Robin. Stephanie was fired from the role for a relatively minor mistake (compared to the blunders previous Robins had done) and then [[DroppedABridgeOnHim unceremoniously killed off]] in 2004. It was later revealed through WordOfGod that Stephanie's role as Robin was never meant to be permanent and was only meant to make her death more dramatic and shocking. This has later been cited as a textbook case of StuffedIntoTheFridge, especially since after her death, Stephanie was barely mentioned by the other Bat-family characters and she received no monument (as Jason Todd had upon his death). Stephanie was revealed to be [[HesJustHiding in hiding]] in 2009 and took the role of ComicBook/{{Batgirl|2009}}. When the DC universe was relaunched after the ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' storyline in 2011, early reports stated that she would return to the Spoiler identity, but her only appearance so far has been in ''Batman: Leviathan Strikes'', which is explicitly stated to take place in pre-Flashpoint continuity.
Steph is unique among the Robins in several ways, being the one with the shortest term, the only (canonical) female, the only one to begin as a co-star in another book series, the only blonde, and the only Robin to never be adopted into the Wayne family. Following the New 52, [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Stephanie's status is still unknown]], with numerous writers requesting and being denied even ''mentioning'' her. Eventually, Scott Snyder was allowed to use her in one of his ''Batman'' issues, which served as a preview of his ''Batman Eternal'' series, in which Steph plays a key role in the story. Still the daughter of Cluemaster, she accidentally stumbles in on a supervillain meeting of sorts, led by her father, which leads to him trying to kill her. While she does like to drop the word "spoil" and "spoiler" a lot, she has not yet adopted a costume or codename.

[[folder: '''Robin V''', Damian Wayne]]
!!!#5)Damian Wayne
%%[[quoteright:217:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/damianrobin.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:217:Damian as Robin]]
The 1987 story ''Batman: Son of the Demon'' concluded with the birth of a boy to Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Ghul ([[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter daughter of Batman foe Ra's Al Ghul]]). The canonicity of the tale was questionable. In 2006, the existence of the son was confirmed. He was named Damian and had grown up to late childhood. Whether he is a result of mutual intercourse, a ChildByRape, or a DesignerBaby created from Batman's genes is left ambiguous and [[ArmedWithCanon many sources outright contradict each other.]] Damian was raised by his mother in the League Of Assassins, and, according to recent comics, was put through an initiation ritual known as the "Year of Blood" that involved 365 days of desecration, robbery, and slaughter. After Bruce Wayne "died" and Tim Drake permanently retired as Robin in 2009, Dick Grayson and Damian served as the new Batman and Robin respectively. In the new 52, Damian served as Robin beside his father. Damian was killed in early 2013 while doing battle with The Heretic, an accelerated growth clone of himself. However, in due time, Damian was resurrected and returned to his role as Robin (gaining superpowers for a brief time). He briefly appeared in ''ComicBook/GothamAcademy'', going undercover as a student while figuring out the connection between the eponymous academy and [[BedlamHouse Arkham Asylum]]. He then went off to atone for his past independently in his own series ''ComicBook/RobinSonOfBatman''. It was in this series that the Year of Blood was established as part of his past.

[[folder: Comic Storylines]]
* ''ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily'' - Batman and Robin II (Jason Todd) go to the Middle East, to track down Jason's birth mother and stop Joker from stealing relief aid from the Red Cross for cash. In the process, Joker kills Jason Todd and his mom and ultimately finds immunity waiting for him in Iran, who offer to make him their ambassador in exchange for him poisoning the entire UN with Joker gas. Famous for the fact that Jason's fate was decided by a "1-900" call-in phone poll.
* ''A Lonely Place of Dying'' - When Batman grows increasingly violent in the wake of Jason Todd's death, a young teen named Tim Drake deduces Batman and Nightwing's identities and seeks out Dick to get him to be Robin again. When Dick refuses, it's up to Tim to take up the dominoed mask and save the two from Two-Face, setting up the stage for Tim to become the third Robin.
* ''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.
* ''Contagion & Legacy'' 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)]]. Mainly known for introducing the third Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) and reintroducing Black Mask into the Batman books.
* ''[[ComicBook/BruceWayneFugitive Bruce Wayne: Murderer?/Fugitive]]'' - Following the events of No Man's Land, ComicBook/LexLuthor became President and Bruce Wayne, in retaliation, severed all business ties with the U.S. Government in protest. In revenge, Lex orders Bruce Wayne's girlfriend murdered and Bruce framed for the deed. Tim and Dick clash over how to proceed with the investigation into the murder after Bruce goes on the run.
* ''ComicBook/BatmanHush'' and ''Under the Hood'' - "Hush" was a warmly received and massively hyped story written by Creator/JephLoeb and illustrated by Jim Lee. The story deals with an alliance with new Bat-foe Hush and [[spoiler:the Riddler]] after the latter figures out Batman's identity. While Hush had Batman run the gauntlet with much of his RoguesGallery, a figure appearing to be [[spoiler:a resurrected Jason Todd]] appears to confuse Batman. In the end, Hush's identity is revealed to be [[spoiler:Bruce Wayne's childhood friend, Thomas Elliot, who has decided to harbor a deep hatred over Bruce's "gifted childhood" (AKA the dead parents)]]. The buzz over the appearance of the supposed [[spoiler:Jason Todd]] lead to "Under The Hood" where Creator/JuddWinick detailed the rise of a new Red Hood, which was originally held by the man who would become the Joker. Upon the discovery that the Red Hood was indeed [[spoiler:Jason returned from the dead]], angry that [[spoiler:Batman replaced him and didn't kill his "killer"]], Batman has to stop [[spoiler:his adopted son and former ward]]'s RoaringRampageOfRevenge. ''Hush'' also saw Harvey Dent's face repaired and cured of his Two-Face persona until ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.
* ''ComicBook/BatmanWarGames'' and ''War Crimes'' - Spoiler decided to prove to Batman she was worthy of being the newest Robin by taking one of his plans and engaging in a massive BatmanGambit against all of Gotham's gangs that goes horribly wrong. The result? Black Mask becoming the top crime boss in Gotham and Stephanie Brown (Robin IV) dying because Batman waited too long to get her medical treatment. The story was almost immediately followed up with ''War Crimes'', which tried to retcon the story by saying it was longtime Batman ally Leslie Thompkins who withheld medical treatment from Stephanie, and then ''Infinite Crisis'' warped reality within months of the publication of ''War Crimes''. [[spoiler:''War Crimes'' was erased from canon and replaced with a scenario where Thompkins, with Batman's permission, faked Stephanie's death to protect her from further reprisals from Black Mask.]]
* ''Face The Face'': [[/index]]Set during the One Year Later TimeSkip after ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', Batman and the Robin (Tim Drake) return to action just in time to deal with someone killing off several of Batman's rogues gallery, with evidence pointing to Harvey Dent, who Batman left in charge of protecting Gotham while he was away after being cured. Notable for making the Great White Shark (introduced in ''ComicBook/ArkhamAsylumLivingHell'') Gotham's top crime boss and the aforementioned returns of Commissioner Gordon, Detective Bullock, and Harvey Dent's Two-Face persona (including rescarring). Batman also adopts Tim Drake, who takes up a costume similar to his ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The New Batman Adventures]]'' incarnation.
* 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]].

** ''Batman R.I.P.'' - The Black Glove makes its assault against Batman, and attempts to destroy his personality with long dormant mental triggers which were placed in Batman's mind years ago. Upon the activation of a mental safeguard in the case of such a scenario, the personality of "the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh" keeps Batman functioning until his mind repairs the damage and stops the Black Glove from killing him and invading Gotham City. Upon confronting the leader in an escaping helicopter, Batman becomes "cursed" to die the next time he wears the cape and cowl. After escaping the helicopter crash, Batman is summoned by Superman to investigate [[ComicBook/FinalCrisis the death of a God...]]
*** ''Battle For The Cowl'' (not written by Morrison, but fits into the overarching story) - [[spoiler:Bruce Wayne is dead, and a great void has been created in Gotham City. A war on two fronts has started that the Bat-Family must deal with: the recently escaped RoguesGallery from Arkham, along with the various gangs and factions trying to claim Gotham as their own; and the appearance of a mysterious masked "Batman", who holds no qualms for murder (eventually revealed to be Jason Todd). After attempting to kill both Tim Drake and Damian Wayne, Jason fights Nightwing, and is defeated. Dick takes over the mantle of the Bat, and]] Damian becomes the new Robin as [[spoiler:Dick is worried Tim's claims that Bruce is alive are proof of SanitySlippage from his TraumaCongaLine]].
** ''Batman: Reborn'' - Umbrella title for the various Batbooks dealing with Dick Grayson as the new Batman and Damian as the new Robin. Threats facing them are Jason Todd and a new Black Mask, along with new villains such as Professor Pyg and his army of circus freak show villains and the assassin known as "The Flamingo".

Oh, and Superman says his return will bring about [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the end of the world]]...]]
*** ''Bruce Wayne: The Road Home'': [[spoiler:The culmination of the ''Batman: Reborn'' storyline. Vicki Vale seeks to reveal the identities of the Bat-Family to the world, but Ra's ah Ghul refuses to let her do so and seeks to kill her. The Bat-Family, the GCPD and the returned Bruce Wayne must protect her and convince her that what she's doing is wrong.]]
* ''ComicBook/BatmanTheBlackMirror:'' While Bruce is busy with Batman, Inc, Dick stays on as Gotham's Batman. He, Oracle, Jim Gordon, and Tim Drake continue the good fight against evil auctioneers, nefarious car salesmen, pirates, and baby formula truck drivers. BetterThanItSounds.

* Robin's (Dick Grayson) first animated apparition is in ''The Adventures Of Batman'' and, afterwards, in ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}''. This version wore the standard Robin costume, much like the film serial versions of the 1940s.
* In the original ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', a college-aged Dick Grayson was Robin, and generally true to his roots. However, when the show was revived and revamped as ''The New Batman Adventures,'' they decided to shake up the status quo, graduating Dick to Nightwing and introducing a young Tim Drake as Robin. They skipped Jason Todd due to the character having some baggage that isn't exactly family friendly, but given that Jason Todd had an excellent origin story, the decision was made to combine the two into one. In this universe, Dick Grayson never quite reconciled with Bruce after their initial falling out. They could get along and work together, but were permanently estranged at some point. Meanwhile, Tim Drake had his career as Robin cut short after being brutalized by and [[spoiler:accidentally killing The Joker]]. He grows up into a successful engineer with a wife (who, according to DVD extras, is meant to be an older Stephanie Brown) and kids, as seen in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. Robin does not appear in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' and ''Justice League Unlimited'' due to an embargo on the Batman TAS supporting cast.
* ''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).
** ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' has a parody version of the character like the rest of the cast.
* Robin appear in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', introduced in Season 4. Based on the Dick Grayson version, in this instead of being a teenager to adult, he is 12. He borrows elements from the Tim Drake version, such as costume design and computer aptitude. His origin in "A Matter of Family" follows Grayson's from the comic books with the exception of his being Batman's second sidekick (Batgirl in introduced in Season 3), but his first official sidekick.
* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' setted on Earth-16. In this universe, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake are all known to be or have been Robin, while Stephanie Brown cameoed in one episode. The show has been praised for returning the relationship between Dick and Batman to its roots-- in other words, they get along. Dick becoming Nightwing here is not because he and Bruce can't see eye to eye, but simply because he's grown up. Jason Todd has only been seen in a memorial and named only in promotional materials for the video game, while Tim was a supporting character in season two. Another notable thing the show did was give all three Robins unique costumes easy to tell apart. This is the first [=TV=] series to acknowledge the existence of all of the first four Robins.

* Robin (Dick Grayson) is one of main characters of the famous '60s series ''Series/{{Batman}}'' played by Burt Ward. He is noted for his recurring interjections in the form of "Holy ________, Batman!". The series avoided referencing Robin's origins as Bruce Wayne's fellow "crime orphan", as whose legal guardian the courts appoint Bruce.

[[folder:Movies]]
[[index]]
* Robin (Dick Grayson) appear in Creator/JoelSchumacher movies ''Film/BatmanForever'' and ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' played by Chris O'Donnell. This version of Robin merged together his younger, more carefree days with his older incarnation (before he became Nightwing). His origin is actually a composite of two comic-book Robins; in the comics, Two-Face killed Jason Todd's parents, and that element (along with Jason's desire for revenge) were imported into Chris O'Donnell's Dick Grayson character.
* John Blake. Appearing in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', this is the Robin of ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga'' though rather than becoming Batman's sidekick [[spoiler:he's implied to have become the new Batman after Bruce Wayne's supposed HeroicSacrifice]]. In fact, [[spoiler:Robin is the character's legal first name]].
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood'' is considered a monumental achievement of DC animation. Written by Judd Winick, who originally pitched and wrote Jason's resurrection in the comics, he took the movie as an opportunity to revise and vastly improve on the original story, tightening up the plot and, most notably, changing the method of Jason's resurrection from a gimmicky tie-in to an event crossover to the Lazarus Pit, a well-established element of the Batman mythos.
* While the movie does not much resemble the comic ''WesternAnimation/SonOfBatman'' and its sequels do feature Damian and Dick.
[[/index]]
[[/folder]]
!!Tropes associated with Robin in general
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Although they are not exactly "super".
* BadassNormal: Like their mentor, none of the Robins have superpowers. [[EmpoweredBadassNormal Damian is the first to break this mold.]]
* CatchPhrase: "Holy (fill in the blank)!" Now used mostly as SelfDeprecation and {{Mythology Gag}}s.
** Mostly just Dick's, really. Jason tried it once, and Batman just asked him to never do it again.
* ContinuitySnarl: One of the policies of DC's ComicBook/New52 timeline is that the timeline goes back no further than five years. However, Batman (and GreenLantern) were so successful at the time of the reboot that DC left its continuity as is - meaning that in the span of five years, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake all managed to become ComicBook/{{Robin}} and then graduate to their "adult" identities as Nightwing, Red Hood, and Red Robin.
* DeathIsCheap: Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian have all been killed at one point, but all gotten better eventually. Lampshaded in Comics/BatmanRebirth #
-->'''Jason''': First, Damian You're Dead. Again.
-->'''Damian''': No. First, Jason you're dead. Again.
-->'''Dick''': I like that in all of it, at least I'm not dead. Again.
-->'''Duke''': Wait, ''all'' of you have been dead? Am I going to be dead?
*** The conversation happens at meeting Batman holds after [[spoiler:Tim was "killed" in ''ComicBook/DetectiveComicsRebirth'']] and is thought dead by them.
* DistressedDude / BadassInDistress: Can't forget your roots now can we?
* DistressedDamsel: For Stephanie and Carrie.
* {{Foil}}: To Batman, in various ways. Dick's upbeat attitude made him a far more beloved and respected crimefighter than his mentor; Jason was a criminal before becoming Robin, and took the darkest aspects of Batman's goals while ignoring its benevolent spirit; Tim took a more pragmatic and functional approach to crimefighting, detaching it from his personal life instead of BecomingTheMask; Finally, Damian was raised to fight crime ruthlessly and without any tragedy to guide his conscience.
** The Robins also represent specific aspects of Batman. Dick is the acrobat and leader, Jason is the fighter, Tim is the detective, and Damian is the ninja. Each Robin is also hinted to surpass Batman in the future.
** With respect to their upbringing, Dick adjusted to life without his parents far better than Bruce; Jason never knew his parents [[spoiler: and finding out his mother was alive led to his death]]; Tim's father was alive when he decided to become Robin; and Damian was raised in privilege like Bruce, but trained to be an assassin and killer.
** Also of note, Damian was a foil to Dick Grayson's run as Batman, being the serious sidekick to his light-hearted superhero.
** As of Rebirth, Damian is also the foil to Jon Kent's Superboy. Both are the sons of the two greatest superheroes, but, much like their fathers, are polar opposites. One is a brooding, misanthropic, suspicious pain in the backside with too much training and not enough friends, and the other is a cheerful, optimistic, polite little ray of sunshine still getting used to his powers.
* HappilyAdopted: Dick and Tim, at the very least. Jason is very {{Tsundere}}ish about it, and Damian is blood-related to Bruce. Stephanie was never adopted.
* HeroesFightBarehanded: Notable exceptions include Tim Drake and Dick Grayson, both former Robins who now fight crime as [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Red Robin]] and ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} respectively. Tim uses a Bo staff and Dick a pair of Escrima sticks, presumably because their focus on agility over strength compared to other barefist DC fighters means the weapons give them the 'kick' they need.
** Damian also favors katanas, while Duke uses nun-chucks.
* KidAppealCharacter: What Robin started as, and continues to be.
* KidHero: One of the earliest superhero examples, although {{Spider-Man}} would become the TropeCodifier for comics.
* KidSidekick: The TropeMaker and TropeCodifier.
* LegacyCharacter: Taken UpToEleven in that ''all'' of the Robins (save Damian) later graduated into ''another'' LegacyCharacter.
** 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.
** Jason Todd became the Red Hood II,[[note]]Originally, members of a criminal gang rotated through the identity, most notably SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker before he adopted his best-known identity.[[/note]] Red Robin II,[[note]]An adult Dick Grayson from ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' was the first[[/note]] and even became Nightwing V for a while.[[note]]Nightwing III is the villain "Nite-Wing", and Nightwing IV was ComicBook/PowerGirl in a temporary identity.[[/note]]
** Tim Drake eventually became Red Robin III.
** And Stephanie Brown became Batgirl IV.[[note]][[ComicBook/Batgirl2011 Barbara Gordon]], The Huntress, and [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra Cain]] were the first three, although all of them were after Betty (later Bette) Kane as "Bat-Girl"[[/note]]
** Even Damian Wayne was revealed to have become the sixth Batman in a BadFuture.
** According to Marv Wolfman, around the time Jason Todd was introduced, one of the Batman writers wanted to de-age Dick Grayson and return him to being Batman's sidekick. As writer on ''[[ComicBook/TeenTitans The New Teen Titans]]'', DC's hottest property at the time, Wolfman wielded a lot of power, and, not wanting to have Dick's CharacterDevelopment undone, suggested that instead, Dick Grayson could move on to a new identity and a new Robin could be introduced as a publicity stunt (since that sort of thing had never really happened before).

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).
Robin was originally conceived as a [[KidAppealCharacter vehicle to draw younger readers]] -- [[TropesAreNotBad and it worked]], doubling Batman's sales figures from his first appearance onward. Afterward, Robin became a staple of the Batman franchise's humor, as well as being a {{Foil}} against his mentor and providing the Dark Knight a character to whom he could [[TheWatson exposit his many heroic feats]]. Unfortunately, this also had the side-effect of making Robin into a DistressedDude who barely contained a tenth of the skills or competence of his partner.
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]]. [[NewMediaAreEvil Comic books were blamed]] for everything from juvenile delinquency to homosexuality [[RedScare to communism]], 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 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/{{Batman}} many]] [[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns darker]] [[Film/TheDarkKnightSaga reimaginings]], but Robin has found [[ComicBook/RobinSeries more]] [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} success]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans away]] [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice from]] [[OvershadowedByAwesome his/her mentor's shadow.]]
Despite their usual role as a supporting character, the Robins are well-known for several events which helped modern comics to their current form--all of which will be noted below, in the description of the Robin they pertain to. It's also notable that the individual Robins often become popular in their own right. All five Robin characters are currently in print, with two headlining their own books, two co-starring alongside other sidekicks, and the newly-reintroduced Stephanie Brown making the rounds of guest appearances. All are featured in the weekly series ''ComicBook/BatmanAndRobinEternal'', although Stephanie has never been Robin in this version of events.
Compare and contrast ComicBook/BuckyBarnes, Creator/{{Marvel}}'s take on the classic KidSidekick later updated for modern readers.

The most famous Robin is the original, Dick Grayson, who held the identity from 1940 to 1984. Grayson, however, gave up the name to forge a new career as the hero ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}. Since then, the mantle has been passed several times, although [[LiveActionAdaptation other]] [[AnimatedAdaptation media]] usually use Dick Grayson in the role.
Dick Grayson had his own solo feature in ''Star-Spangled Comics'' from 1947 to 1952, and an additional feature (billed as "Robin, the Teen Wonder" throughout most of the 1970s, usually as a backup in ''Batman'' or ''Detective Comics''. The latter stories typically featured Grayson as a college student at Hudson University. He has also been a staple member of the ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' since the group's inception in 1965, typically acting as [[TheLeader team leader]] and TheSmartGuy. It was in this series that the character really grew into his own, especially when the book was retooled as ''The New Teen Titans'' with the inclusion of four new [[KidHero teen heroes]] who were not conceived as sidekicks to adult heroes (although Beast Boy was a {{Transplant}} from [[ComicBook/DoomPatrol another series]]). It was in the pages of ''The New Teen Titans'' that Nightwing was originally born.
It's worth noting that Dick Grayson was Robin from 1940 to 1983-- 43 years, by far the longest tenure. Jason was Robin from 1983 to 1988 (5 years, with a reboot in the middle), Tim from 1989 to 2009 (20 years), Stephanie for one story arc, and Damian from 2009 to 2013 and from 2015 onwards (five years). The Golden Age Robin of Earth-2, who stuck to that identity long after he passed into adulthood and middle age, died alongside his partner the ComicBook/{{Huntress}} at the end of the ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' event which rebooted the DC universe.

!!!#2)[[ComicBook/RedHoodArsenal Jason Peter Todd]]
%%[[quoteright:217:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jasonrobin.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:217:Jason as Robin]]
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.
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 SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker in the infamous ''[[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily A Death In The Family]]'' 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 SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker's list of most heinous crimes (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.]])
For a time, the most famous thing about Jason Todd was that he (like his ComicBook/CaptainAmerica counterpart ComicBook/BuckyBarnes), had [[DeathIsCheap remained dead]]. For years, Batman kept a poignant memorial with his [[TragicKeepsake empty costume]] in the Batcave ([[MythologyGag directly lifted from]] ''The Dark Knight Returns''). Since then, however, he has come BackFromTheDead and has re-adopted several identities which were once used by other characters: the Red Hood (originally used by SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker), Red Robin and Nightwing (both originally used by Dick Grayson). Since his return, Jason Todd has become even more of an AntiHero than ever and is even sometimes cast as a villain for both Batman and Nightwing, standing in opposition to their ThouShaltNotKill ideology.
He's gained a new fanbase since his resurrection, both for being the one who will do what Batman won't and for being a general bad boy. Since the 2011 reboot, he's become a lot more stable and while he remains an AntiHero, he's slowly becoming less antagonistic towards his father and brothers, with mixed results.
Jason's also notable for his part in what is considered a monumental achievement of [=DC=] animation: ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood''. Written by Creator/JuddWinick, who originally pitched and wrote Jason's resurrection in the comics, he took the movie as an opportunity to revise and vastly improve on the original story, tightening up the plot and, most notably, changing the method of Jason's resurrection from a gimmicky tie-in to an event crossover to the Lazarus Pit, a well-established element of the Batman mythos. Even those who want their hotline money back would rather consider it canon.

The third Robin was Tim Drake, who broke the mold of the previous two in several ways; he was not an orphan (his father was still alive when he took the mantle); he was not as light-hearted or whimsical as either of his predecessors; being Robin was [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld only a part-time thing]] and he only saw it as a temporary necessity, planning to go back to his normal life after he put in his service. He was also the first Robin to maintain a long-lasting solo series (lasting from 1993 to 2009) and, after Dick Grayson, is the second-most famous person to hold the role. Tim was also a founding member of ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'', along with Superboy and Impulse, where he played a similar role that Dick Grayson had played within the Titans.
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.
Following the New 52 reboot, Tim still leads the Titans and was still Jason's successor as Batman's ward, but he never actually used the Robin name, having used the Red Robin name for his entire career. On top of that, his parents are still alive and [[spoiler:he's no longer actually called "Tim Drake" either, as Batman gave him this name after his parents were placed into Witness Protection following Tim stealing a large sum of money from the Penguin]].

!!!#4)[[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Stephanie Brown]]
%%[[quoteright:217:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stephanierobin.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:217:Stephanie as Robin]]
In 2003, Tim Drake retired as Robin to pursue an ordinary life. Batman picked Tim's supporting character and LoveInterest Stephanie Brown, the daughter of the minor villain Cluemaster who had adopted the heroic identity of Spoiler, to become the new Robin. Stephanie's tenure as Robin was rife with controversy, including the insinuation that her promotion was a failed BatmanGambit (by the TropeNamer himself no less) to anger Tim Drake into returning as Robin. Stephanie was fired from the role for a relatively minor mistake (compared to the blunders previous Robins had done) and then [[DroppedABridgeOnHim unceremoniously killed off]] in 2004. It was later revealed through WordOfGod that Stephanie's role as Robin was never meant to be permanent and was only meant to make her death more dramatic and shocking. This has later been cited as a textbook case of StuffedIntoTheFridge, especially since after her death, Stephanie was barely mentioned by the other Bat-family characters and she received no monument (as Jason Todd had upon his death). Stephanie was revealed to be [[HesJustHiding in hiding]] in 2009 and took the role of ComicBook/{{Batgirl|2009}}. When the DC universe was relaunched after the ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' storyline in 2011, early reports stated that she would return to the Spoiler identity, but her only appearance so far has been in ''Batman: Leviathan Strikes'', which is explicitly stated to take place in pre-Flashpoint continuity.
Steph is unique among the Robins in several ways, being the one with the shortest term, the only (canonical) female, the only one to begin as a co-star in another book series, the only blonde, and the only Robin to never be adopted into the Wayne family. Following the New 52, [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Stephanie's status is still unknown]], with numerous writers requesting and being denied even ''mentioning'' her. Eventually, Scott Snyder was allowed to use her in one of his ''Batman'' issues, which served as a preview of his ''Batman Eternal'' series, in which Steph plays a key role in the story. Still the daughter of Cluemaster, she accidentally stumbles in on a supervillain meeting of sorts, led by her father, which leads to him trying to kill her. While she does like to drop the word "spoil" and "spoiler" a lot, she has not yet adopted a costume or codename.

!!!#5)Damian Wayne
%%[[quoteright:217:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/damianrobin.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:217:Damian as Robin]]
The 1987 story ''Batman: Son of the Demon'' concluded with the birth of a boy to Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Ghul ([[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter daughter of Batman foe Ra's Al Ghul]]). The canonicity of the tale was questionable. In 2006, the existence of the son was confirmed. He was named Damian and had grown up to late childhood. Whether he is a result of mutual intercourse, a ChildByRape, or a DesignerBaby created from Batman's genes is left ambiguous and [[ArmedWithCanon many sources outright contradict each other.]] Damian was raised by his mother in the League Of Assassins, and, according to recent comics, was put through an initiation ritual known as the "Year of Blood" that involved 365 days of desecration, robbery, and slaughter. After Bruce Wayne "died" and Tim Drake permanently retired as Robin in 2009, Dick Grayson and Damian served as the new Batman and Robin respectively. In the new 52, Damian served as Robin beside his father. Damian was killed in early 2013 while doing battle with The Heretic, an accelerated growth clone of himself. However, in due time, Damian was resurrected and returned to his role as Robin (gaining superpowers for a brief time). He briefly appeared in ''ComicBook/GothamAcademy'', going undercover as a student while figuring out the connection between the eponymous academy and [[BedlamHouse Arkham Asylum]]. He then went off to atone for his past independently in his own series ''ComicBook/RobinSonOfBatman''. It was in this series that the Year of Blood was established as part of his past.

[[folder: Comic Storylines]]
* ''ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily'' - Batman and Robin II (Jason Todd) go to the Middle East, to track down Jason's birth mother and stop Joker from stealing relief aid from the Red Cross for cash. In the process, Joker kills Jason Todd and his mom and ultimately finds immunity waiting for him in Iran, who offer to make him their ambassador in exchange for him poisoning the entire UN with Joker gas. Famous for the fact that Jason's fate was decided by a "1-900" call-in phone poll.
* ''A Lonely Place of Dying'' - When Batman grows increasingly violent in the wake of Jason Todd's death, a young teen named Tim Drake deduces Batman and Nightwing's identities and seeks out Dick to get him to be Robin again. When Dick refuses, it's up to Tim to take up the dominoed mask and save the two from Two-Face, setting up the stage for Tim to become the third Robin.
* ''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.
* ''Contagion & Legacy'' 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)]]. Mainly known for introducing the third Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) and reintroducing Black Mask into the Batman books.
* ''[[ComicBook/BruceWayneFugitive Bruce Wayne: Murderer?/Fugitive]]'' - Following the events of No Man's Land, ComicBook/LexLuthor became President and Bruce Wayne, in retaliation, severed all business ties with the U.S. Government in protest. In revenge, Lex orders Bruce Wayne's girlfriend murdered and Bruce framed for the deed. Tim and Dick clash over how to proceed with the investigation into the murder after Bruce goes on the run.
* ''ComicBook/BatmanHush'' and ''Under the Hood'' - "Hush" was a warmly received and massively hyped story written by Creator/JephLoeb and illustrated by Jim Lee. The story deals with an alliance with new Bat-foe Hush and [[spoiler:the Riddler]] after the latter figures out Batman's identity. While Hush had Batman run the gauntlet with much of his RoguesGallery, a figure appearing to be [[spoiler:a resurrected Jason Todd]] appears to confuse Batman. In the end, Hush's identity is revealed to be [[spoiler:Bruce Wayne's childhood friend, Thomas Elliot, who has decided to harbor a deep hatred over Bruce's "gifted childhood" (AKA the dead parents)]]. The buzz over the appearance of the supposed [[spoiler:Jason Todd]] lead to "Under The Hood" where Creator/JuddWinick detailed the rise of a new Red Hood, which was originally held by the man who would become the Joker. Upon the discovery that the Red Hood was indeed [[spoiler:Jason returned from the dead]], angry that [[spoiler:Batman replaced him and didn't kill his "killer"]], Batman has to stop [[spoiler:his adopted son and former ward]]'s RoaringRampageOfRevenge. ''Hush'' also saw Harvey Dent's face repaired and cured of his Two-Face persona until ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.
* ''ComicBook/BatmanWarGames'' and ''War Crimes'' - Spoiler decided to prove to Batman she was worthy of being the newest Robin by taking one of his plans and engaging in a massive BatmanGambit against all of Gotham's gangs that goes horribly wrong. The result? Black Mask becoming the top crime boss in Gotham and Stephanie Brown (Robin IV) dying because Batman waited too long to get her medical treatment. The story was almost immediately followed up with ''War Crimes'', which tried to retcon the story by saying it was longtime Batman ally Leslie Thompkins who withheld medical treatment from Stephanie, and then ''Infinite Crisis'' warped reality within months of the publication of ''War Crimes''. [[spoiler:''War Crimes'' was erased from canon and replaced with a scenario where Thompkins, with Batman's permission, faked Stephanie's death to protect her from further reprisals from Black Mask.]]
* ''Face The Face'': [[/index]]Set during the One Year Later TimeSkip after ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', Batman and the Robin (Tim Drake) return to action just in time to deal with someone killing off several of Batman's rogues gallery, with evidence pointing to Harvey Dent, who Batman left in charge of protecting Gotham while he was away after being cured. Notable for making the Great White Shark (introduced in ''ComicBook/ArkhamAsylumLivingHell'') Gotham's top crime boss and the aforementioned returns of Commissioner Gordon, Detective Bullock, and Harvey Dent's Two-Face persona (including rescarring). Batman also adopts Tim Drake, who takes up a costume similar to his ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The New Batman Adventures]]'' incarnation.
* 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]].

** ''Batman R.I.P.'' - The Black Glove makes its assault against Batman, and attempts to destroy his personality with long dormant mental triggers which were placed in Batman's mind years ago. Upon the activation of a mental safeguard in the case of such a scenario, the personality of "the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh" keeps Batman functioning until his mind repairs the damage and stops the Black Glove from killing him and invading Gotham City. Upon confronting the leader in an escaping helicopter, Batman becomes "cursed" to die the next time he wears the cape and cowl. After escaping the helicopter crash, Batman is summoned by Superman to investigate [[ComicBook/FinalCrisis the death of a God...]]
*** ''Battle For The Cowl'' (not written by Morrison, but fits into the overarching story) - [[spoiler:Bruce Wayne is dead, and a great void has been created in Gotham City. A war on two fronts has started that the Bat-Family must deal with: the recently escaped RoguesGallery from Arkham, along with the various gangs and factions trying to claim Gotham as their own; and the appearance of a mysterious masked "Batman", who holds no qualms for murder (eventually revealed to be Jason Todd). After attempting to kill both Tim Drake and Damian Wayne, Jason fights Nightwing, and is defeated. Dick takes over the mantle of the Bat, and]] Damian becomes the new Robin as [[spoiler:Dick is worried Tim's claims that Bruce is alive are proof of SanitySlippage from his TraumaCongaLine]].
** ''Batman: Reborn'' - Umbrella title for the various Batbooks dealing with Dick Grayson as the new Batman and Damian as the new Robin. Threats facing them are Jason Todd and a new Black Mask, along with new villains such as Professor Pyg and his army of circus freak show villains and the assassin known as "The Flamingo".

Oh, and Superman says his return will bring about [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the end of the world]]...]]
*** ''Bruce Wayne: The Road Home'': [[spoiler:The culmination of the ''Batman: Reborn'' storyline. Vicki Vale seeks to reveal the identities of the Bat-Family to the world, but Ra's ah Ghul refuses to let her do so and seeks to kill her. The Bat-Family, the GCPD and the returned Bruce Wayne must protect her and convince her that what she's doing is wrong.]]
* ''ComicBook/BatmanTheBlackMirror:'' While Bruce is busy with Batman, Inc, Dick stays on as Gotham's Batman. He, Oracle, Jim Gordon, and Tim Drake continue the good fight against evil auctioneers, nefarious car salesmen, pirates, and baby formula truck drivers. BetterThanItSounds.

* Robin's (Dick Grayson) first animated apparition is in ''The Adventures Of Batman'' and, afterwards, in ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}''. This version wore the standard Robin costume, much like the film serial versions of the 1940s.
* In the original ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', a college-aged Dick Grayson was Robin, and generally true to his roots. However, when the show was revived and revamped as ''The New Batman Adventures,'' they decided to shake up the status quo, graduating Dick to Nightwing and introducing a young Tim Drake as Robin. They skipped Jason Todd due to the character having some baggage that isn't exactly family friendly, but given that Jason Todd had an excellent origin story, the decision was made to combine the two into one. In this universe, Dick Grayson never quite reconciled with Bruce after their initial falling out. They could get along and work together, but were permanently estranged at some point. Meanwhile, Tim Drake had his career as Robin cut short after being brutalized by and [[spoiler:accidentally killing The Joker]]. He grows up into a successful engineer with a wife (who, according to DVD extras, is meant to be an older Stephanie Brown) and kids, as seen in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. Robin does not appear in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' and ''Justice League Unlimited'' due to an embargo on the Batman TAS supporting cast.
* ''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).
** ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' has a parody version of the character like the rest of the cast.
* Robin appear in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', introduced in Season 4. Based on the Dick Grayson version, in this instead of being a teenager to adult, he is 12. He borrows elements from the Tim Drake version, such as costume design and computer aptitude. His origin in "A Matter of Family" follows Grayson's from the comic books with the exception of his being Batman's second sidekick (Batgirl in introduced in Season 3), but his first official sidekick.
* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' setted on Earth-16. In this universe, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake are all known to be or have been Robin, while Stephanie Brown cameoed in one episode. The show has been praised for returning the relationship between Dick and Batman to its roots-- in other words, they get along. Dick becoming Nightwing here is not because he and Bruce can't see eye to eye, but simply because he's grown up. Jason Todd has only been seen in a memorial and named only in promotional materials for the video game, while Tim was a supporting character in season two. Another notable thing the show did was give all three Robins unique costumes easy to tell apart. This is the first [=TV=] series to acknowledge the existence of all of the first four Robins.

* Robin (Dick Grayson) is one of main characters of the famous '60s series ''Series/{{Batman}}'' played by Burt Ward. He is noted for his recurring interjections in the form of "Holy ________, Batman!". The series avoided referencing Robin's origins as Bruce Wayne's fellow "crime orphan", as whose legal guardian the courts appoint Bruce.

* Robin (Dick Grayson) appear in Creator/JoelSchumacher movies ''Film/BatmanForever'' and ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' played by Chris O'Donnell. This version of Robin merged together his younger, more carefree days with his older incarnation (before he became Nightwing). His origin is actually a composite of two comic-book Robins; in the comics, Two-Face killed Jason Todd's parents, and that element (along with Jason's desire for revenge) were imported into Chris O'Donnell's Dick Grayson character.
* John Blake. Appearing in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', this is the Robin of ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga'' though rather than becoming Batman's sidekick [[spoiler:he's implied to have become the new Batman after Bruce Wayne's supposed HeroicSacrifice]]. In fact, [[spoiler:Robin is the character's legal first name]].
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood'' is considered a monumental achievement of DC animation. Written by Judd Winick, who originally pitched and wrote Jason's resurrection in the comics, he took the movie as an opportunity to revise and vastly improve on the original story, tightening up the plot and, most notably, changing the method of Jason's resurrection from a gimmicky tie-in to an event crossover to the Lazarus Pit, a well-established element of the Batman mythos.
* While the movie does not much resemble the comic ''WesternAnimation/SonOfBatman'' and its sequels do feature Damian and Dick.

!!Tropes associated with Robin in general
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Although they are not exactly "super".
* BadassNormal: Like their mentor, none of the Robins have superpowers. [[EmpoweredBadassNormal Damian is the first to break this mold.]]
* CatchPhrase: "Holy (fill in the blank)!" Now used mostly as SelfDeprecation and {{Mythology Gag}}s.
** Mostly just Dick's, really. Jason tried it once, and Batman just asked him to never do it again.
* ContinuitySnarl: One of the policies of DC's ComicBook/New52 timeline is that the timeline goes back no further than five years. However, Batman (and GreenLantern) were so successful at the time of the reboot that DC left its continuity as is - meaning that in the span of five years, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake all managed to become ComicBook/{{Robin}} and then graduate to their "adult" identities as Nightwing, Red Hood, and Red Robin.
* DeathIsCheap: Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian have all been killed at one point, but all gotten better eventually. Lampshaded in Comics/BatmanRebirth #
-->'''Jason''': First, Damian You're Dead. Again.
-->'''Damian''': No. First, Jason you're dead. Again.
-->'''Dick''': I like that in all of it, at least I'm not dead. Again.
-->'''Duke''': Wait, ''all'' of you have been dead? Am I going to be dead?
*** The conversation happens at meeting Batman holds after [[spoiler:Tim was "killed" in ''ComicBook/DetectiveComicsRebirth'']] and is thought dead by them.
* DistressedDude / BadassInDistress: Can't forget your roots now can we?
* DistressedDamsel: For Stephanie and Carrie.
* {{Foil}}: To Batman, in various ways. Dick's upbeat attitude made him a far more beloved and respected crimefighter than his mentor; Jason was a criminal before becoming Robin, and took the darkest aspects of Batman's goals while ignoring its benevolent spirit; Tim took a more pragmatic and functional approach to crimefighting, detaching it from his personal life instead of BecomingTheMask; Finally, Damian was raised to fight crime ruthlessly and without any tragedy to guide his conscience.
** The Robins also represent specific aspects of Batman. Dick is the acrobat and leader, Jason is the fighter, Tim is the detective, and Damian is the ninja. Each Robin is also hinted to surpass Batman in the future.
** With respect to their upbringing, Dick adjusted to life without his parents far better than Bruce; Jason never knew his parents [[spoiler: and finding out his mother was alive led to his death]]; Tim's father was alive when he decided to become Robin; and Damian was raised in privilege like Bruce, but trained to be an assassin and killer.
** Also of note, Damian was a foil to Dick Grayson's run as Batman, being the serious sidekick to his light-hearted superhero.
** As of Rebirth, Damian is also the foil to Jon Kent's Superboy. Both are the sons of the two greatest superheroes, but, much like their fathers, are polar opposites. One is a brooding, misanthropic, suspicious pain in the backside with too much training and not enough friends, and the other is a cheerful, optimistic, polite little ray of sunshine still getting used to his powers.
* HappilyAdopted: Dick and Tim, at the very least. Jason is very {{Tsundere}}ish about it, and Damian is blood-related to Bruce. Stephanie was never adopted.
* HeroesFightBarehanded: Notable exceptions include Tim Drake and Dick Grayson, both former Robins who now fight crime as [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Red Robin]] and ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} respectively. Tim uses a Bo staff and Dick a pair of Escrima sticks, presumably because their focus on agility over strength compared to other barefist DC fighters means the weapons give them the 'kick' they need.
** Damian also favors katanas, while Duke uses nun-chucks.
* KidAppealCharacter: What Robin started as, and continues to be.
* KidHero: One of the earliest superhero examples, although {{Spider-Man}} would become the TropeCodifier for comics.
* KidSidekick: The TropeMaker and TropeCodifier.
* LegacyCharacter: Taken UpToEleven in that ''all'' of the Robins (save Damian) later graduated into ''another'' LegacyCharacter.
** 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.
** Jason Todd became the Red Hood II,[[note]]Originally, members of a criminal gang rotated through the identity, most notably SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker before he adopted his best-known identity.[[/note]] Red Robin II,[[note]]An adult Dick Grayson from ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' was the first[[/note]] and even became Nightwing V for a while.[[note]]Nightwing III is the villain "Nite-Wing", and Nightwing IV was ComicBook/PowerGirl in a temporary identity.[[/note]]
** Tim Drake eventually became Red Robin III.
** And Stephanie Brown became Batgirl IV.[[note]][[ComicBook/Batgirl2011 Barbara Gordon]], The Huntress, and [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra Cain]] were the first three, although all of them were after Betty (later Bette) Kane as "Bat-Girl"[[/note]]
** Even Damian Wayne was revealed to have become the sixth Batman in a BadFuture.
** According to Marv Wolfman, around the time Jason Todd was introduced, one of the Batman writers wanted to de-age Dick Grayson and return him to being Batman's sidekick. As writer on ''[[ComicBook/TeenTitans The New Teen Titans]]'', DC's hottest property at the time, Wolfman wielded a lot of power, and, not wanting to have Dick's CharacterDevelopment undone, suggested that instead, Dick Grayson could move on to a new identity and a new Robin could be introduced as a publicity stunt (since that sort of thing had never really happened before).
