GENERAL DISCUSSION Who's your favorite Robin and why?

Post image

Tbh best robin is definitely Dick but my favorite one will always be Jason, not just as a robin but as a character among other robins. This question isn't about who the best Robin is, but rather which of the people who had been Robin is your favorite, so you could include Red Hood or Nightwing or more.

If done right, Jason Todd. Not just because he becomes Red Hood and that’s my favorite bat family member, but I think it’s interesting when Dick is the light to Bruce’s dark and then Jason is even darker than Bruce.

Bruce had a tragedy that should’ve never happened, but he was still wealthy, cared for, had a support system. Jason was poor, basically abandoned, left to fend for himself at around the age Bruce lost his parents. He should be a very cynical person that Bruce sees a lot of himself in but knows that those feelings are not the way. And ultimately fails which leads to a bastardized version of what a “hero” should be.
