**Tim Drake** is a major character in the HBO Max and DC Universe television series of the same name. He is a normal kid from Gotham City who idolizes the local superheroes, Batman and Robin.  In wake of the previous Robin, Jason Todd's tragic murder and eventual resurrection aspires Tim to becomd the third Robin.  Of the previous Robins, Tim has a hidden and personal connection with Dick's past, the original Robin.

## History

Tim Drake was born in Gotham City to Jack and Janet Drake. He was raised alongside his cousin Stephen Chen (the nephew of his mother). When he was a child, Tim's parents took him to Haley's Circus, where he witnessed the deaths of Mary and John Grayson. He felt pity for their son, Dick, who was now an orphan. Growing up, Tim idolized Batman, and later, his sidekick Robin. Tim would eventually come to the conclusion that the first Robin and Dick Grayson were one and the same because they each performed a somersault that only a Flying Grayson could do. He later noticed Nightwing preform the same truck while Tim was watching TV, making him realize that the superhero was Dick grown up. He tries offering his services to Dick, who promptly disregards it because of his young age. Tim was shot by Jonathan Crane, but with help from Hank Hall and Donna Troy, Tim was resurrected.

At the conclusion of Season 3, Tim becomes a member of the Titans and welcomed to train to be the next Robin after Dick Grayson and Jason Todd established titles of their own as Nightwing and Red Hood, with Dick offering to mentor him.

## Powers and abilities

* **Intelligence:** Tim is a very resourceful and intelligent young man who is perhaps one of the biggest fans of the superhero community. Among the vigilantes he seems to admire Robin and Batman. He was able to deduce that Dick Grayson was both once Robin and Nightwing because Tim realized that all three identities performed a special somersaults that only applying Grayson would have been able to accomplish. Tim recognized the move due to being in the audience when Mary and John fell to their deaths and decided the only person capable of performing this move had to be their only surviving son. He is also able to tell that Bruce Wayne was Batman, Jason was the second Robin, Donna Troy is Wonder Girl and Hank Hall was hAWK.
* **Combat:** Tim has little to no skill about fighting, but he did help Donna and Hank fight off the ghouls that were chasing them. As of "Purple Rain," Tim is currently training under Dick to becoming the next Robin.

## Trivia

* In the comics, Tim was the third **Robin** after Jason and Dick established their own titles and entered relationships with both Cassie Sandsmark and Stephanie Brown. Eventually, Tim took on the alias **Red Robin** with his girlfriend Stephanie and Damian Wayne taking the responsibility of being the fourth and fifth Robin respectively. He has become a leader of the Teen Titans,
* Like the comics, Tim was in the audience the night Dick's parents were killed and able to deduce that Dick was secretly Robin and grew up to be Nightwing, the same way he does on the series as well as noting Donna, Bruce, and Jason's secret identities (as Wonder Girl, Batman, and the second Robin respectively)
