True, there have been Robin comic books in the last few years, but as said this show is based off the Wolfman/Perez era of the Titans, which is the second team that Dick "Robin/Nightwing" Grayson leads. In the comics, Dick was just as driven, if not moreso than Tim, considering Tim didn't want to be a Titan at first (Geoff Johns' "A Kid's Game"). The staff is used by both Slade and Robin, so that doesn't mean anything (they both used staffs in the comics too). Dick has the same detective skills as Tim, considering both were protege's to Bruce "Batman" Wayne. Add to it that Dick wore the same costume that was originally intended for Tim during his last run on B:TAS. And finally, watch episodes like Fractured, Haunted (see Dick's origin), and How Long Is Forever (see Dick become Nightwing), so overall, this TV series Robin is Dick Grayson.
How do I know this? titanstower.com and Glen Murkami say so. While titanstower gives out the information on who Robin is, Glen notes right in the paragraphs that he invisions Robin as Dick Grayson and he told people at the comic con that if anyone wishes to know who Robin is, they could simply watch Fractured.
Is it just me or did you not answer my question?
You did a lot of re-explaining things that we all know. Things you've seen ME post. But you didn't even bother to answer my simple question.
So I will argue with you:
And for the record, Dick has NEVER been as good a dective as Tim... not even CLOSE. Every time Robin uses his non-leadership brain on the show is a reference to Tim Drake.
Dick Grayson is known for Escrima skills. He uses them often, even in Batman year one. Tim Drake is known for staff skills (which are, for the record, nigh impossible with a cape in real life), and uses it as his main weapon, as he has for YEARS. Dick may have used a staff in a fight or two, but Tim uses it ALL the time... every use of a long fighting staff in the comics is a reference to Tim.
Dick was never as driven as Tim. Dick was BROUGHT into Batman's war on crime by chance. Tim DECIDED to become Robin, deciphered Batman's identity, approached Dick and TOLD him that he should be Robin and that Batman needed him. Every use of the obsessive driven Robin is a nod to Tim Drake, not to the jovial acrobat, Dick Grayson.
I don't think I get the costume thing either. It sounds like you're saying that Teen Titan Robin is wearing TNBA Robin's unused clothes, which would be a reference to "Tim Drake" who is really a refrence to Jason Todd. Sorry, I can't keep all that straight, take the point.
Robin on Teen Titans takes the following things from the dick grayson character: origin, name, acrobatics, obsession with slade, love of starfire. EVERYTHING else about the character, costume, personality, role, taskmasterness, drive, Batman-like nature, ability to invent things like Red X, fighting staff, independent nature is taken from Tim Drake... in short... all the reasons I love Tim Drake are the SAME reasons I love Robin on Teen Titans. Sure, his
name is Dick Grayson, and he has Dick's relationships, but he's so cool cuz he's just like the guy I read about every month in a little comic book called... surprise surprise... "Robin"
. i belive the exact same thing. i said all this a while back when me & king ruler had are little debate over robins orgin. yes the robin in the teen titans cartoon show is defiently dick grayson. BUT!!!! he resembles tim drake 10 times more,
