Tim Drake

**Origin**

Tim Drake, first debuted in the Bronze age line of comics. DC really needed to bounce back from the bad responses of Jason Todd as Robin. So what they did was not only look at what made Dick Grayson’s Boy Wonder good. They looked at what they could improve on. They looked at what makes Robin so special. So they gave Tim different abilities like he is a real good detective. And he is almost obsessed with Batman and Robin before. So that made these characters sell value real high. With comics coming out with Batman and Robin then soon to just be “Robin.” He is arguably the best Robin, There was this quote that really got the true meaning of Robin which is “Robin is a symbol just as much as Batman is. It isn't just a symbol of the law, it's a symbol of justice. And Batman needs a Robin.” By saying this it means that Batman needs a robin. Take it this way he is perfect for comedic relief. Instead of just having the old man be serious. I also feel like Robin is what keeps Batman together whether that's physically or mentally. He has someone to talk to on lonely nights. Someone to take care of. See if you look at how hard Batman took that hit when Jason died. Who helped him get through it? Tim Drake himself. In conclusion, Tim Drake is smart, brave, one hell of a detective, dangerous, skilled, and most of all Robin.

Tim was alone at most times of his young childhood going into teenhood. His only family, his father and mother, were out a lot; they were very successful in their line of work in business. Since they were never home this caused Tim Drake to have a lot of free time to just study and watch over things. Mainly boredom but we will get back to that in a second. Tim Drake one day and his dad go out to a circus and watch many circus acts. But this one group named The Flying Grayson’s stood out to him; he was amazed. They were doing acrobatics like no other. The Flying Graysons essentially are family members that became a circus act that does acrobatics many moves. But this came to a price. At one point when Tim and his dad are watching the show. And Mary Grayson and John Grayson were killed off a forced mistake off a stunt from Tony Zucco and an infamous mobster. This brought Tim in shock with just witnessing 2 murders right in front of them. Batman then swooped in and grabbed Dick Grayson. I guess Batman felt for Dick Grayson. Because he himself witnessed a murduer from his mother and father. Anyways back to the story. When Batman came in this also intrigued and interested Tim. Later on in his teen years he explored this interest even more in Batman and Robin. He watched any films they had on them 2. And this one time, Tim noticed this move that stuck with him from the Flying Graysons. And then he knew that Dick Grayson was Robin. Which only means! That Batman is the one who adopted Dick Grayson and got him to be Robin! So if that's not the best detective skills anyone has seen then I don't know what is. And boom this small little kid just found out who Batman and Robin is. Better up your security protocols Bruce. After a little convincing from Alfred the butler of Wayne Manor and Dick the finally convinced Bruce that he can be the next Robin or Batman’s next crime fighting partner. See the reason why Batman wasn’t too sure about bringing Tim in is because you gotta realise Batman just went through a horrible time in his life that he picked up this little hoodlum named Jason Todd and they spent some years together as Batman and Robin. And after one day he just dies. By none other than your arch enemy Joker.” So there was one exception Tim would join him. Tim had to go through a serious amount of hardcore training. Of course Tim took the job and went through training . While he was doing this training he was basically the “guy in the chair” or Bruce's eye in the sky. He was helping him on runs against his foes. Soon after Tim graduated his training and became Robin. In his first ever issue that one right there --->

Anyways this started off on a patrol and they got a call that there was a robbery. Of a store but when they got there. They realised they were just young little kids. So instead of “Break every bone in your body!” All they did was simply scare them away. At this point Tim kept going out with Batman fighting crime together. With even helping other heroes like Huntress Or Spoiler (Stephanie Brown). He was starting to be known all over Gotham City that Gotham has a new crusader. There was one point that Robin went on his own and he really stepped up to the plate when he did. He was constantly overcoming huge challenges that you would never think a bird boy like Tim can do without Batman. Tim even got with Spoiler at a time and they went around Gotham together.On another note, Tim was a great detective, He has shown that many times Batman even said this “But… Tim… I have to hand it to the boy… He wants to be the world's greatest detective. And from what I've seen so far… he will be someday..“ Anyways back to the story I just wanted to bring that up. A little bit after his series of a stand alone character. Things were erupting with Bruce. Bane was back at him as the main villain. Basically what happened was Bane as a new villain and he was real powerful taking some type of substance that made him be a ragin cagin Mexican.. Anyways One day Bane snuck onto Batman and broke his back. This caused Bruce to go on rest and try to recover to be the next Batman. Now before he did this he had to figure out who really was going to be the next Batman for Gotham.Because once the criminal scum find out the Batman is gone.The streets would go rapid. Soon after,Batman chose Azrael. His name was Jean Paul Valley Jr. If the name didn’t give it away he is a christian. Which is weird because they are supposed to turn the other cheek. But I guess not this ragin cagin Mexic- I mean christian. So Robin tagged along with this new “Batman” a few moments later Jean went crazy im not sure how but he started to go insane. And that caused him as Batman with the no kill rule that everyone in the batfamily feels like hates except Tim of course haha. So Bruce knowing Jean was going crazy he knew he had to stop him so Batman went to Nanda Parbat. To recover. And he did so with some help from Robin.

**Tim Drake**

Tim Drake has made his presence known to the Batfamily, he is now under the Batman’s wing, studying the crime reports, the closed cases as well as learning all he can from the Batman himself, Dick Grayson has convinced Batman to train him but Batman won’t allow any faults, one mistake and he’s out.

Tim Drake sought out Batman once more after his parents were poisoned by a voodoo doctor, his mom would die and his father would be in a coma, Bruce Wayne would take custody of the young man. Batman took out the voodoo doctor with intensity and Tim found out from Nightwing, a very angry Nightwing I must say, furthering the motive that Batman needs a Robin.
