Robin as an identity is more recognizable than just about every other teen character DC has ever published, and is associated with the Teen Titans. It doesn't matter who is behind the mask. And even if that weren't the case Damian's been in something like two other Batman animated films.

And Tim was in an entire season of B:TAS, an entire season of Young Justice, and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
There's really no inherent argument for using one over the other, just personal preference. I'm sure the producers had their reasons for preferring Damian over Tim and they likely had nothing to do with one being a "better" or "superior" character than the other.
Tim is irrelevant now Red Robin is not a distinct niche like Nightwing and RedHood. Red Robin aint good enough distance.
So based on certain voice casting reprisals of the JUSTICE LEAGUE, does this movie occur in the THRONE OF ATLANTIS universe and timeline? Have the League and Teen Titans even met yet in The New 52?
^This is answered by this:
Beetle was a member through some of McKeevers run, which was something like 20-30 issues.
More like a recognizable outfit, the monster in it however isn't expected.
They already had the 3rd most recognizable member of the family present in the shape of Nightwing.
He's also the current Robin in comics and hasn't ever met the Titans yet, or any other young hero if I am not mistaken, so whats your argument again?
Unfortunately this. No one cares about Red Robin. Robin is the identity that is one of the most iconic and well known comic properties and is the reason Damian is getting the big push. He is the current Robin, not Tim. They really should have given Tim a different identity because Red Robin is never going to catch on and is too close to the Robin identity.
this is good news but sooner or later they have to make a good DC Cartoon show on a network that they can do it on like Adult Swim. i know its not happening, but it still sucks and downright aggravating that we have only one DC Cartoon show that will make you lose brain cells and it has three seasons i just don't understand that logic. anyway im looking forward to this Justice League vs Teen Titans cartoon.
Damian fans didn't complain when Drake was made Robin of the Arkham verse,Tim fans are just jealous,he had plenty of opportunities before Damian showed up but was always overlooked in favor of Dick. BTAS,The Batman,Brave and the Bold etc. Even Beware the Batman went with Katana,Young Justice and Teen Titans too went with Dick. The only significant Drake outing was BTAS and there he was turned in to a poor mans Jason Todd. Drakes time is over now,bury him and consider it mercy,they are pushing the current Robin which makes sense and the fact that they are finally willing to give someone besides Dick a proper go is a first.
Tim fans still have those toy cartoons to look forward to.
Sam Liu,Miller and Burnett's involvement is a HUGE plus for this movie right now.
