Tim has the longest tenure as Robin

>Tim has the longest tenure as Robin

Did Morrison fuck up? Is this still canon post-flashpoint? I thought Dick had a solid 2 years on him. For context this panel is from The Return of Bruce Wayne

Who gives a fuck about canon? It is all fan fiction.

He's the only one that's supposed to be Robin. Dick is supposed to be Nightwing, Jason is supposed to be dead, and Damien isn't supposed to exist.

post flashpoint everything is fucked up
so its best to play things fast and loose

end of the day writers are gonna pick what they like and any time shenanigans will be explained with "sliding time scale"

They don't misspell him Time Drake for nothing

Yes.

Dubs of truth.

In the New 52 he was only ever Red Robin, and I think it was supposed to be 2/1/1/1 between the four of them.

And who fucking knows what's canon after Rebirth.

Copied from Redd*t

“According to the wiki, and this just confirmed for me from memory Dick became Robin at 8 years old but left when he was still in the Teen Titans to become Nightwing, before going to college.

So I'd say

Dick Grayson - 8-17, 9 years as Robin.


There's no real ag information for Jason Todd, but I believe Jason was slightly older than Dick was, possibly 12 or 13, and Bruce did try sending him to a Board School at one point. I'd place him at about 16 at his time of death.

Jason Todd - 12/13 - 16, 3-4 years as Robin.


According to wiki, and what makes sense from the books Tim becomes Robin at about 13 years old. After this is there isn't much information about Tim's age, though, roughly around One Year Later Tim is no longer going to school, I believe this is because he's graduated. That makes him roughly 18. It also means that Tim did not go to College right away. Which Means he is more than likely in his 20's as "Red Robin".

Tim Drake - 13-Early 20's - 7-10 years as”

Let's see. In the last official timeline DC ever published (Secret Files 2000), Dick becomes Robin in Year 3 and Nightwing in Year 6. Tim becomes Robin in Year 9 at the age of 13, and in the penultimate issue of Red Robin, is still 17. But let's assume he turns 18 that year. So it's Year 14.

Now that's a very elementary reading of the timeline and if you follow the flow of time presented in the comics, things play out VERY differently.

Year x - No Man's Land
Year x+1 - Officer Down
Year x+2 - Last Laugh, Our Worlds at War
Year x+3 - Murderer/Fugitive
Year x+4 - War Games, Identity Crisis
Year x+5 - Infinite Crisis, 52 begins
Year x+6 - 52 ends, One Year Later
Year x+7 - Final Crisis
Year x+8 - Return of Bruce Wayne
Year x+9 - Batman Inc, Flashpoint

And don't forget that Dark Victory supposedly bumps Dick's debut as Robin up to Year 5.

based
damian would also be acceptable as a villian

I thought Dark Victory took place directly after Long Halloween, which ends roughly at the beginning of year 3?

The only reason people put Steph in a Robin countdown is so they don't have to list Tim as the worst one.

Long Halloween starts in June of Year 2 and ends in Year 3. Dark Victory starts in August of Year 4 and ends Halloween of Year 5. Some people who prefer Year 3 as the "classic" Robin debut year simply say that the Holiday and Hangman killings took place in a more compressed period of time; which is problematic, but may be true. (And LH & DV *are* canon, per Tony Daniel's Batman run.)

Something else worth noting is some stories (Matt Wagner's Trinity, Meltzer's Justice League) don't even have the JLA forming until after Robin is around.

Steph was a better Robin than Jason and Damian, and a better Batvillain than half the core rogues gallery without actually meaning to be one.

DC's Silver Age has been continually compressed, I'm pretty sure at that time the official line was that Dick became Robin at 16 and Nightwing at 19.
Weird to come from Morrison since he was writing Bruce as in his mid-40's and in an "everything is canon" approach, and was also wanking Dick in particular.

I was really surprised, and really pissed, that Morrison retconned out most of Bruce's Silver Age stuff as hallucinations.

He leaves it open. It's sort of like when in the FC Batman tie-ins you see him putting the Bat-Radia on the shelf.

Said the faggot unironically

Tim is the worst one. There is a reason the writers don't know what to do with him, he's too generic and his backstory is boring.

That's literally why he's the most Robin of all Robins. He's a sidekick. Stop trying to make everyone the hero of their own story.

This makes the most since, isn't Tim's age/tenure as robin what most people used to calculate Batmans timespan in general before flashpoint?

Was Tim really Robin longer than Dick?

That doesn't add up. Even before Damian it means Bruce has been Batman for 23 years so he's mid 40s at least by now

>Stop trying to make everyone the hero of their own story.
Tell that to the people who write Tim. Tim got an history of lowering Dick's QI or abilities and talking shit about Jason to pass as the best Robin and hasn't been an average boy in a long-long time.

But then, irl, hes the one who carried his own book for years.

Actually, it makes some sense, and doesn't really take away the importance or prominance of Dick as Robin. He will always be the first, Bruce's original son, and also his greatest success and the one the mantle generally passes to in times of need. It's just Tim was just happy to stick around as the sidekick for longer because he's a ascended fanboy and has less drive to 'move forwards' than Dick.

Dick grew as a character and beyond his original role; he became a well known and loved hero after outgrowing the role. Tim however, his identity *is* being a Robin, because they never did anything else with him, to the point that he had be to tranplanted and a 'second' Robin title had to be created for him. Everyone else eventually grows out of the role. Not ol' Tim though.

>tfw Tim is the devoted 3rd son who stays behind and helps his dad with the business, but everything still gets passed on to the 1st son who fucked off to live his life

>He's the only one that's supposed to be Robin.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>Steph was a better Robin
Stephanie has sucked since she was annoying Robin back in the day with Cluemaster running around
Does anyboy else really dislike Stephanie Brown? She ruins everything and is just too whiny and pointless to be liked. The most important moment in her life was being killed. Seriously, why is she even alive??

she's bordering on whining. I prefer Batcow over Tim and , Stephanie Brown .

>Robin thread
Someone help me out here. There was this comic book given to me back when I was a kid. It involved a Robin fighting with a Bo stick and getting his ass absolutely fucking kicked by, Killer Croc, I think? Anyway, it was super bloody and the Robin was coughing blood. The issue also mentioned that Robin did all that shit alone because Batman is out of commision.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

No, but it sounds like Tim with the bo staff and having to go at it alone

>Robin did all that shit alone because Batman is out of commision.
Maybe Knightfall era? Could be any Batman title from Robin to Tec but I'd search for Robin issues first

That's not accurate. It's not even internally consistent.
>Dick Grayson - 8-17, 9 years as Robin.
>Jason Todd - 12/13 - 16, 3-4 years as Robin.
>Tim Drake - 13-Early 20's - 7-10 years as”

Tim met Dick as a kid. If Dick was 8 when his parents died, and Tim was walking around to see him perform, at most there could be a 6 year age difference between them.
The comics at the time said Dick was 18 when he left Batman for college. Dick was at Hudson U while Robin, before and during the New Teen Titans. Dick turns 21 in New Titans shortly before A Lonely Place of Dying. That gives Dick a decade as Robin, roughly 9 of those years with Bruce.

If Dick was 18 when he moved out of the manor and 21 when Tim came onboard, Jason could have been Robin for 2 years tops.

Tim and his friends are in High School when he became Robin. Tim is old enough to get a license to look after his dad and drive his car, but they make note that it's a special license. It would make sense that Tim was 15/16 when he became Robin. Anything younger blows out the childhood link to Dick. Tim was a super-senior in high school towards the end of his Robin solo, repeating his senior year. This book ended when Bruce died. That would put Tim at 18/19 when Damian becomes Robin. That gives Tim at most 4 years as Robin.

Dick - 8-18, 10 years as Robin
Jason - 15ish, 1-2 years as Robin
Tim - 15-19, 4 years as Robin

Proportionally, this aligns roughly with the publishing history. Dick was Robin for ~40 years. Jason was Robin for ~ 5 years, Tim was Robin for ~20 years. Damian has been Robin for ~10 years and that's 3 years in the comics now.

Morrison screwed up, or this is just Tim getting too big for his britches yet again.

Or, I forgot to comment, Morrison was working off the Zero Hour timeline, where Dick became Robin at 16 so Bruce could be under 30 again.

>Dick became Robin at 16

That’s such a fuck up

All this tells me is that tim was a manchild that couldnt grow. He needed batman and was complacent and could not become a man or actual character on his own. He sounds like a child bragging about living at home longer than his sibling and acting like that means anything.

>I-I-I was daddy’s favorite
>meanwhile Dick is polishing his Robin of the Month awards extending well into his time as Nightwing
