No Right Answer: Best Robin Ever

[Lieju]

Eh, I guess it's a tie for me. The 'real' Batman universe for me always was the 60's series, and the Robin in that was Dick Grayson. But of course the then the question becomes 'is this the same Robin who was in the comics at the time, or the Dick Grayson who became Nightwing?'

Stephanie Brown is Batgirl, end of story.
If Batman has a female sidekick, she's the Batgirl (or Oracle)

Why, though? There has been several Robins, and it's not like it's all that masculine name or role.

So was it Racoon man or Possom man? Cuase I really want to draw a fanart of him and maybe some of his villains from the podcast, but Im not sure now which costume I should go with.
I love the fact that I was on the inside joke.

Dick Grayson, first and best fighter, thematically closest to Bruce.

Tim Drake, best detective, the heart of what Batman's successor should be.

Damian...meh, basically Jason Todd with more skills. Jason Todd was good AFTER he died, and Red Hood doesn't count as "Robin."

My fave Bat-sidekick...Cassandra Cain!!!

Good win!
No quote of the week?
I liked what Kyle said at the end.
Make that the q-o-t-w

I wouldn't necessarily say he wins because of it, but Jason Todd gets a lot of points with me for being the only one of those that was either a Batman, Batgirl, or a Robin to realize just what a complete load of crap Bruce's "No Kill" policy is. In fact, he's one of the few superheroes that realizes that not killing the bad guys never accomplishes anything, not that he ever manages to kill any of the important villains, but at least he TRIES to end the vicious cycle that the DC universe is constantly spiraling in.

Definitely possum man, our mistake. Oh ma gosh, we would love some fan art of possum man and his rogue gallery. Throwing silver bullets from his belt and watching SVU on the "Bat Computer"

Tim wins by being the first Robin to demand pants.

Take a look at my avatar; guess who I'll pick?


DAT COSTUME! DAT HAIR!

Spoiler

edit: also, of course readers didn't buy that Bruce Wayne was dead. He was shown alive a couple issues later...

You're going to go with the only Robin that got fired as the best one?

The only one that got fired AND killed. At least Jason Todd went out in a blaze of glory.

Beign beaten to death with a crowbar, coming back to life as a villain, and then getting a crappy comic where Starfire is a moron isn't exactly a "Blaze of Glory".

I don't remember what's canon anymore, but Dick was fired in Dixon's Nightwing: Year One. And of course there's The Dark Knight Strikes Again...

Well that's a bit mean, what's wrong with Steph?

 

[MorganL4]

You know you're a geek when......... You were actually able to follow that debate, and recall the events mentioned.

 

[Hutzpah Chicken]

Because he did a awesome job in Brightest Day, Dick Grayson Batman was okay in my mind. That biases me to Dick being the better Robin. That and the fact that Dick Grayson confidently wears his hot pants.

EDIT: While on the subject of comics, you guys should go with Super Girl vs. Power Girl.

LONG LIVE RACOON MAN!! (Inside jokes FTW)
Also, Bat-Defibrilator? Genius.

Best Robin Ever

It's time to decide which one deserves the right to call shotgun in the bat-mobile.

Watch Video

I ran into a spot of trouble with the high quality version of the video...I dont know if this was just me but it was very "distorted" and it wouldnt load beyond a certain point no matter how long I waited orhow often I refreshed...I was able to watch it when I switched to the lower quality video

 

[Squilookle]

My main man right here:

Oh wait.. you were all talking about that Robin.

laaaame...

 

[The Deadpool]

Red Robin was the best comic no one read... And probably the biggest casualty of the New 51...

 

[Milanezi]

I vote for Damien Wayne, I hated his guts at first, and thought he was an absurdity in the Batman universe, a truly unbearable character... But then came the New 52 and I began to see Damien in another perspective. Not only I believe he is the best Robin, he is also the ONLY Robin I ever enjoyed. Funny thing is, I like Nightwing and Red Hood, I just hate them as Robin's. Red Robin is also pretty cool though, but cool doesn't cut it for me.
On a side note: I recently bought Death in the Family, which I hadn't read yet. I don't know what the hype is all about there, it was probably one the worst sagas I've ever read, the whole thing with Todd looking for his mother was laughable, and his murder lacked any emotion. Not to mention The Joker being an ambassador (???) that was downright offensive to any reader...

Three Batmans, Bruce Wayne, Jean Paul Valley and Dick Grayson

Terry McGinnis doesn't count?

We could dig up a few lists, I'm sure.
