In , he became Nightwing, which left the now abandoned Robin persona open for someone new. Dick Grayson was created during the Golden Age of Comics, and his demeanor, at least at the time, was very light and innocent. Jason Todd is almost a complete contrast to this.
Or rather, he is now. Like Dick, Jason was the son of circus acrobats who were tragically killed by a criminal. He was good-natured and largely obedient. In fact, the biggest change may have been his red hair, which Jason dyed dark after he became Robin. In this take, Jason was a street kid who first met Batman when he literally tried stealing the tires off of the Batmobile. As a result, Jason Todd was the first and for many years only Robin to die on the job, at least until he was resurrected in as the gun-toting antihero Red Hood.
While Carrie Kelley has never been Robin in official DC Universe continuity, she was Robin in arguably the single most popular Batman comic ever created, so of course she deserves to be mentioned here! After being rescued by Batman, Carrie comes to greatly admire the now-aged and Robin-less hero. Despite no real training, Carrie proves pretty adept in the role of Robin. Still, there are some sources that claim otherwise. According to the second theory, Robin was not named after Robin Hood — in fact, Robin Hood had no influence on the character at all — but after the small American robin bird, which was a reference to his acrobatic skills.
This was discussed as far back as the late s, but aside from a few comic books, not many sources have supported this claim, at least not as many as those that supported the first theory. There are also those, like Len Wein, who — in his The Untold Legend of Batman — suggests that both theories are, in fact, true. This book was published in Watson-like figure to Batman, who was partially modelled on Sherlock Holmes. This is why Bill Finger said of the matter:.
Holmes had his Watson. I found that as I went along Batman needed a Watson to talk to. Together, they dismantle the Mutant street gang , face the Joker one final time, and maintain order in Gotham after a nuclear strike. Three years later, Carrie continues to operate alongside him, taking up the mantles of Catgirl , Batgirl and Batwoman. In the final issue of 52 , a new Multiverse is revealed, originally consisting of 52 identical realities.
Among the parallel realities shown is one designated "Earth-2". As a result of Mister Mind "eating" aspects of this reality, it takes on visual aspects similar to the pre-Crisis Earth-2, including Robin among other Justice Society of America characters. The names of the characters and the team are not mentioned in the panel in which they appear, but the Robin is visually similar to the Dick Grayson Robin of the pre-Crisis Earth-2 Because Grayson, Todd, and Drake are all black-haired Caucasians, it is not possible to assign an alter ego based on the single image.
Based on comments by Grant Morrison , this alternate universe is not the pre-Crisis Earth However, in the Justice Society of America Annual 1 , published in the summer of , Silver Scarab explains that the events of the Crisis are remembered by the people of this Earth-2, and from their perspective, Earth-2 seemed to be the only Earth to have survived the Crisis, raising theories as to whether or not Earth-2 was really destroyed, or was perhaps replaced by a new Earth Certainly Robin, the Huntress , and their fellow Justice Society members are all alive and appear to be exactly the same as those pre-Crisis.
The first Robin miniseries was printed in following Tim Drake's debut as Robin. The series centered around Tim's continued training and set up villains linked to the character. With Batman out of town, it was up to Tim and Alfred to end the Joker's latest crime spree. Many years later, Robin and a few other DC Comics sidekicks became the founding members of the original Teen Titans team, with Dick as the leader. Dick was succeeded as Robin by Jason Todd, a circus orphan later revised to be a troubled street kid orphan.
He was killed before the end of the decade, then resurrected in the 21st century. In the s, Tim Drake became the next successor and became popular enough to have his own series, Robin, starting in and lasting well over issues.
During that time, the role was adopted for a few months by Stephanie Brown, who is more widely known as Spoiler and for a time also acted as one of the Batgirls. Over the years, Errol Flynn and his style of Robin Hood faded from public consciousness.
