I don't know if you guys ever read any of the Batman comics or know the history of the Character Robin. But to give you a little history. There have been now 4 characters that have been Batman's sidekick. And I think the movie did a good job of combining the 3 of them to make a their own version. The first being d*** Grayson who most people are familiar with. He was Robin I believe until the early early 80's. And was fired when he was shot by the Joker and soon let go by Bats because he felt he could not put a child's life in danger any longer. Now at this point he had also been a member of the Teen Titans were he then became the leader and eventually became Night Wing. Then he eventually moved to his own City BludHaven and even became a cop...Thats were the movie got the idea to make their version a Police officer. The second was Jason Todd a orphan growing up on the streets of Gotham in the area of crime alley. One of his origin stories even had Batman find him lifting tires off the Batmobile. Bats takes a liking to him after a few run ins as Batman and Bruce Wayne. After learning the boy's parents were murdered similar to his own. Bruce Wayne takes him as his ward and makes him Robin after he discovers he's Batman. Now I'm not sure how long this character was around but I know he was murdered by the Joker in the late 80's because he was reckless. And his death was actually decided by the fans in the series " Death in the family" And I believe the results were lop sided. Now the third Robin is very close to the character in the movie because he too figured out who Batman was. Tm Drake was a young rich kid who was a huge fan of Batman and Robin and actually witnessed  the event were d***'s Parents were killed at the circus. So after years and years of doing his own detective work he confronts Bruce Wayne with his discovery and actually saves his life. At first Batman did not want a new sidekick especially after Jayson's death who he eventually adopted before he died. But after Tim's parents are in a plane crash the death of his mother at the hands of some Voodoo villian. Batman decides to send him off to train with a group similar to the League of Shadows. As far as the fourth goes I just know some how he is the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia Algule..Thius must have been after I stopped reading...Sorry for the Fanboy geek session...Just wanted to point out the amalgamation of three of the comic characters made up the movie version Blake. Who I thought made sense because of Nolan's way of making the series believable. dawg i know we ain't cool at ALL, but from this post, from one geek to another on the 8th of August every year, for just ONE day every year, we are cool. nice post dawg you explained the robin history GREAT. im glad SOMEONE knows hist history rather than me :(
