The many faces of Robin Part 2

Robin III (Tim Drake)

Tim Drake remembered watching the Flying Graysons when he was really young. He went to the very show the Graysons were killed in. When he was older, he noticed Robin (I) using the same moves as the Grayson kid. Tim put it all together and found out Bruce was Batman. After the second Robin was killed, Tim helped Batman and Nightwing on a case and saved their lives. Batman liked Tim’s devotion to the legacy of Robin and made him the 3rd Robin.

Unlike the other two Robins, this Robin grew up in fairly well off household with parents that were always away from home. After a kidnapping incident of his parents, his mother was killed, but his father survived, but the old man lost much of his ability to walk on his own. Tim has a fairly normal life outside his Crime Fighting nights. Moreover, Tim is very good with computers and sometimes has time for friends and even a girlfriend.

Of all the Robins, he is smartest and lighthearted of the bunch. For a while, A new Batman took over for Bruce Wayne, when he was defeated by Bane. This new Batman had no time for young sidekicks, so he kicked Robin out of the batcave and told him to never return. For a while, Robin went on his own, with his own comic book. Later, after Bruce Wayne returned, so did Robin.

Later, his father discovered his dual identity, and with pressure at home, he left the Robin identity behind. This led to the arrival of a new Robin, a female Robin…

Next up, the two female Robins!
