Batman Comics: A Dark Knight Dub
Doctor_Throwback for Robin #3 / Red Robin / Tim Drake
Tim Drake is a crimefighter that works with Batman. As the third Robin in the Batman comics, he served as Batman's sidekick, and he is a superhero in his own right. He currently uses the superhero identity of Red Robin. As a young boy, Tim was in the audience the night Dick Grayson's parents were murdered and later managed to discover the identities of Batman and the original Robin through their exploits. After the death of the second Robin, Jason Todd, and witnessing Batman spiral into darkness, Tim attempted to convince Dick to resume the role of Robin, stating that "Batman needs a Robin". However, Dick refused to return to being Batman's sidekick, and instead, Tim was appointed as the third Robin.
I've worked hard and long to become Batman's partner. Harder than anyone else who's ever worn this mask. So, yeah, I'm not Batman. And that means I'm doing something right.
Look, Gotham's weird, but come on. A lion? Were you going to hook up with Scarecrow and Metallo for a Wizard of Oz reunion?
Look, I know you think this is what you want. But once you put on a mask... a uniform... once you do something like this, it can become all you do. And then before you know it, you're deep down the rabbit hole of this life and you're not even sure how you got here. I started doing this because I thought I didn't have a choice. But you still do, Harper. So for me, your brother, and everyone else.... you need to be sure you're making the right one.
