Tim Drake, also known as the third Robin, had served as Batman's sidekick, the successor of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, and he is a superhero in his own right. He was in the audience when the Flying Graysons were murdered, and where he witnessed Batman leap to the scene. Inspired by Batman's heroics, Tim closely followed the chronicles of Batman and Robin.
Eventually deducing their secret identities by using self-taught detective skills, Tim convinced Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson - as Nightwing - that a new Robin was needed in the never-ending battle for justice. Tested by the Dark Knight himself with a grueling training regimen, Tim earned the right to become Robin, and lived up to the name. He currently uses the superhero identity of Red Robin.
Background[]
Deducing the identities of Batman and Nightwing, Timothy Drake revealed this knowledge to them and argued the need for a Robin to give Batman hope in the face of the darkness he fights. After months of training, Timothy himself became the new Robin; keeping his secret identity as Batman's crime fighting partner secret from his parents, Jack and Janet Drake.

Trivia[]
- Robin (Timothy Drake) first appeared in Batman #436 (August 1989)
- Robin is voiced by Wil Wheaton.
- The costumes of Batgirl, Robin and the Dark Specter Batsuit can be seen on display in the Batcave in Legends PvP.
- Talking to Robin while in the Watchtower can lead to him giving the player various comments on his life as a member of the Bat Family as well as being a member and leader of Young Justice and the Teen Titans.
- During one of the conversation strings, Robin's voice actor, Wil Wheaton, seems to stumble on the word "classes" before recovering and restarting the sentence. It is unknown why this stumble was included in Robin's conversation strings but one may argue that it helps humanize Robin as a kid who sometimes trips over his tongue like most people do from time to time.
- Robin's collapsible staff is a heavily modified weapon, built to include hidden compartments for extra storage and a 320 gigabyte MP3 player for "those long stakeouts". Timothy was recommended that he adopt a weapon during his training with Lady Shiva after she noted his lack of talent in the areas of physical combat. Although she offered him a variety of weapons to choose from (majority of them being lethal) Timothy chose the collapsible bo staff as his weapon of choice.
- Robin reveals that the secret for balancing crime fighting at night and classes during the day is coffee. Lots of coffee.
- Tim was at the Haly Circus during the death of the Flying Graysons: this allowed him to recognize years later Dick's movements and deduce his secret identity.
