I was confused about the Robin thing when I watched the movie "Under The Red Hood". What a twist.



I didn't read any comics but just cartoon.

Who was the first Robin? and how many guys have played "Robin"?

The first Robin was dikk Grayson, after him, Jason Todd

Robin 2 (Jason) is killed by Joker and later becomes Red Hood (after comin' back to life after being dipped in the immoral pool Ra's al Ghul uses)

dikk is Nightwing (later Batman, in the comics)

Tim Drake becomes Robin after Jason Todd dies, but, before he becomes the Red Hood

The current Robin is Damien Wayne, Bruce Wayne/Batman's son by Talia al Ghul

Tim Drake becomes Red Robin

Nightwing, Red Hood, Robin (Damie) & Red Robin (Tim Drake)

there's also stephanie brown

Stephanie Brown, Tim Drake's girlfriend and the costumed adventurer previously known as the Spoiler, volunteered for the role of Robin upon Tim's resignation. Batman fired the Girl Wonder for not obeying his orders to the letter on two separate occasions. Stephanie then stole one of Batman's incomplete plans to control Gotham crime and executed it. In order to prove her worthiness, Brown inadvertently set off a gang war on the streets of Gotham. While trying to help end the war, Brown was captured and tortured by the lunatic crime boss Black Mask. She managed to escape but died shortly after due to the severity of her injuries. Tim Drake keeps a memorial for her in his cave hideout underneath Titans Tower in San Francisco. She recently appears alive, stalking Tim since his return from traveling around the globe with his mentor, which led into the question of whether she truly died in the first place.[6] It is later revealed that Dr. Leslie Thompkins had faked her death after the gang war in an effort to protect her.[7] For years she operated on and off as The Spoiler, but is now Barbara Gordon's replacement as Batgirl. She has her own series as well as making appearances throughout the other various Batman and Batman spin-off series.

but she doesnt count

All right. In that movie Under The Red Hood so.....if D!ck Grayson was the first Robin so why in that movie is telling us that Jason Todd was the first Robin when Batman having flashback and even D!ck Grayson was so amazing about Jason's talent?

The first Robin was dikk Grayson, after him, Jason Todd

Robin 2 (Jason) is killed by Joker and later becomes Red Hood (after comin' back to life after being dipped in the immoral pool Ra's al Ghul uses)

dikk is Nightwing (later Batman, in the comics)

Tim Drake becomes Robin after Jason Todd dies, but, before he becomes the Red Hood

The current Robin is Damien Wayne, Bruce Wayne/Batman's son by Talia al Ghul

Tim Drake becomes Red Robin

th


Nightwing, Red Hood, Robin (Damie) & Red Robin (Tim Drake)

So when D!ck (Robin) becomes Nightwing after Batman gone/retired or still with Batman?....cause Batman didn't age at all.

So who is Nightwing in that movie? and they having (Frank) Red Hood looks so much older than (D!ck) Nightwing, I"m assuming he's a teenager at the time.

He left Gotham after getting older, and grew tired of Bruce. He moved to crimefight in his own city of Bludhaven.

Well, since u asked about the comics;

dikk Grayson gets older, gets tired of being the little homie and branches on his own (Bludhaven)

Jason Todd is a kid and Bruce takes him under his wing and he becomes Robin

They do work together, too

dikk becomes Batman after Final Crisis (a long epic that ends with Batman [Bruce] knocked back in time)

In the movie, that's dikk (Damien comes in the picture shortly before Final Crisis [which wrapped up 2 yrs ago])

Age wise (oldest) dikk, Jason, Tim then Damien

They don't seem to be anymore than 5 yrs apart, with exception of Damien

By the time the other 3 are men, Damien is still a little kid

dikk became Nightwing when him and Batman had a falling out. He was tired of living in Batman shadow more or less. Then a lil while after that Jason becomes Robin, but he gets killed in the line of duty when Joker beats him to death with a crowbar. Then a few years after that, Tim Drake figures out who Bats is and in exchange for keeping quiet, he becomes the new Robin.

Some time after that, Ras Al Ghul brings Jason back to life by putting him in a Lazarus Pit (the shyt he uses to keep coming back to life) but using it makes you insane so Jason went nuts for a lil bit (this is Under the Red Hood) tried to kill Nightwing and Robin. Jason is a little bit stable now but he doesnt really fukk with the Bat Family because if you operate in Gotham, Bats is the boss and Jason believes that Batman enables the Joker to keep doing things (like murdering him) by not murking Joker once and for all. Bats almost did it but it would break the code so Jason refuses to come home.

Damian is Bruce and Talia Al Ghuls son. He's the current Robin (Tim left too...) but Bruce doesnt want him to be Robin because Talia put a hit on him and it makes it hard to operate when the bad guys want your son dead 24/7

Nightwing was Batman for a while when Bruce was dead/missing. During this time Damien became Robin but that's what makes it hard for Bruce and Damien to operate as a team because while Grayson knows what it was like to be Batmans sidekick and gave him leeway, Bruce has no tolerance for the talking back and headstrong shyt.

That's Batman and Robin in a nutshell

Cool. So in that movie (Under The Red Hood). Why they having Nightwing as a teenager while Red Hood looks so older? that is what confused me.. and why didn't D!ck dress up as Robin instead of Nightwing. I thought D!ck becomes N!ghtwing when he's getting older and left on his own.

If Jason looked older in the movie to you, that's just pure coincidence. The movie also starts with Jason being killed by Joker. dikk was already Nightwing at that point.

Not sure. Grayson is older than Jason Todd.
