Who was/is your favorite Robin?

Me personally, I thought that Jason Todd was the best. He had that street sense, and alot of anger and potential to turn out to be a great character in the DC universe. Great stories could have come from him, and some where already developing when Robin probably killed that guy who killed the model by dumping him over the balcony, and when Batman asked what was up, Jason said I must of spooked him, he tripped and spilled over. But we all know Jason shoved the guy over the balcony, because this guy was the son of an ambassodor and got away with Murder. And then other events with Jason not listening and having that I don't care atittude towards everything made for great conflict with Bruce/Batman, again it would have made for great stories, but he was eventually killed by The Joker (or the fans with that dumb phone in poll). Because a lot of fans didn't like him.

But just think what would have come for stories with Jason, would he eventually turn out okay and come to terms with the death of his father, and mother? Would he become totally evil and become one of Batman deadliest enemies? Who knows, because he is dead or is he the new Red Hood or Hush?

As much as I love Nightwing I've got to give this to Tim. I think Tim is f**king brilliant, especially when Johns gets a hold of him in Titans. He's like a mini Batman who still has a sense of humour.

I was leaning towards Dick Grayson because I have seen what he has become but I love Tim Drake too.

Tim Drake. I was going to say Dick Grayson, but Tim is such a better Robin than Dick. Dick works much better as Nightwing, somehow.

Drake is great, but its Dick who first wore the tights and brought meaning to the name.

Dick Grayson

There's no option "dead Robin"?

Since this is in the "Comics" area of the site, I can't really say. I did like the Dick Grayson Robin from the Animated series, but that's as far as I've ever liked the character in general unless you count the fan film Grayson.

As far as Jason Todd goes, he's clearly not Hush, although I think that was a clear tease that he is the new Red Hood, which I think would be great. A villain who knows Batman intimately.

Dick Grayson. I guess because he was a different shade to Batman. Whenever Batman would attack, I would imagine Batman with a scowl or teeth clenched while Robin would have this huge grin on his face. One took it seriously, the other made it fun.
