Who's your favorite Robin? (Robins?)

[MajorHoy]

I voted for him but it's strange that Dick is winning by a huge margin in the poll about favorite Batfamily characters but not winning this one. You'd think he'd be winning this poll by an even bigger margin with less characters to compete with. As Shane "Hurricane" Helms would say: what's up wit dat?

Well, he is the only one with two options to vote.

If you add the two options for Dick together, he would be in the lead.
But for people who are old enough to have read the pre-CoIE JSA stories where an adult Dick-as-Robin was a member, that version to me was different enough from the post-"New Look" Robin (where Dick went from Boy Wonder to Teen Wonder and eventually dropped the Robin identity for Nightwing) to earn two separate entries.

Dick became Teen Wonder and Nightwing pre-CoIE.
His history until the New 52 had references of the Golden Age stories, especially with Morrison.

But i understand why you choose to have the Earth 2 counterpart there.

[Batman Begins 2005]

Dick Grayson closely followed by Damian Wayne then Tim Drake and Jason Todd.

Dick became Teen Wonder and Nightwing pre-CoIE...

I'm aware of that. The pre-CoIE reference was strictly in relation to adult Dick-as-Robin on Earth-2 (since the end result of CoIE was the end of that Earth-2 world).
For the Dick Grayson of (pre-CoIE) Earth-1 / current-day-version of Dick, I pretty much was referencing his more distinct time frame as starting with "post-'New Look' ", i.e. starting with Detective Comics #327 in 1964.

Silver Age + version of Dick is really narrowing the gap with Tim.

With 224 people having voted,

* Tim Drake (later Red Robin / 1989 +) = 62 votes
* Dick Grayson (Nightwing/Silver Age +) = 60 votes
* Damian Wayne (2006 +) = 53 votes
* Jason Todd (later Red Hood / 1983 +) = 27 votes

All others still have less than 20 votes so far.

Based on their time as Robin <

Well, in that case Damian for me.
Tomasi, Morrison runs easily.

Now, if you said which character I'd go overall I'd go with Jason.

But if you were voting for Jason even if you didn't really like his run as Robin, that would be more of a "Favorite Former Robin" as opposed to "Favorite Robin", wouldn't it?

Maybe we need a new poll for "Favorite Former Robin" as well.

I'd guess most people who like Jason, it's because of Red Hood, not his time as Robin.

I don't know, having an otherwise untouchable and sadistic rapist bite the dust (pushed or simply not saved), I'm not mad at that. Nor of him going out a hero trying to protect the woman that betrayed him as his last act before he died. Among others.

[The Darknight Detective]

Earth-1 Dick Grayson for me.

[MajorHoy]

Earth-1 Dick Grayson for me.

Ah, now that response raises questions.

Did you lose all interest in Dick Grayson as Robin after CoIE?
(And, yes, while Dick had become Nightwing prior to CoIE, there have been some stories with Dick during his time as Robin in post-CoIE continuity.)

I like all of the versions of him, actually, but I grew up with the Bronze Age Dick Grayson. Therefore, that's why I picked that one.

I'm wondering if I should do a new version of this thread to include "Maps" Mizoguchi, since she does get to be a Robin in the recent Batman Black & White #4.
