Once again, Dick Grayson encouraged and mentored the new Robin.All variants are new and unread unless otherwise stated. When Dick declined, Drake decided to offer his own services, and proved himself by helping Batman take down Two-Face. After Todd's death, Drake noticed Batman's gradual decline and, like Alfred, resolved to reunite Batman and Robin, hoping Dick Grayson would once again take up the role.

Tim was also present in the audience the day Dick's parents were killed during their circus act.Īlthough Drake wasn't necessarily a natural fighter like the previous two Robins, he did possess a keen intellect, and figured out the secret identities of Batman, Nightwing and both Robins, keeping his discovery a secret out of respect and admiration. Essentially a Batman and Robin fanboy, Drake had grown up in awe of the Dynamic Duo's partnership, following Dick Grayson's evolution into Nightwing and mourning the death of Jason Todd. Alfred, however, recognized that Batman needed to be accompanied by a Robin and this led to the eventual recruitment of Tim Drake. Since then, Jason Todd has taken on several personas, but is most widely known as the Red Hood, a violent anti-hero who implements harsher methods than Batman would allow.įor a long time after Jason's death, Bruce Wayne refused to take on another partner, believing himself at fault for the tragedy. However, the second Robin would reemerge years later in Hush, after Superboy altered the fabric of reality.

Todd's inner rage often bubbled over and crossed the fine moral line Batman was already walking. However, Todd and Grayson had very little in common, with the new Robin proving himself to be rash, unpredictable and not as naturally gifted as his predecessor. The relationship between Dick Grayson and Jason Todd was generally very good, with the latter idolizing the original Robin, and Grayson offering his advice and guidance as Nightwing.
