    YEAH. Her appearance here means that she is a True Robin.

It tends to render this poll kind of moot.
    Well, yes and no.

    Just because DC is including her in the Robins mini-/limited-series doesn't mean all readers will now accept her as a "true Robin".

    And some people who originally voted "NO" when this poll was first created may have changed their thinking since then (though they can't change their vote on the poll now).

    Already made it to 123 people having voted.
    * No, she was not defined by the mantle as were the other Robins = 69 votes
    * Yes, her time in the tights makes her as much of a Robin as the rest of the boys! = 54 votes

    So most of today's votes (so far) are "Yes", with one more "No".

    I mean I count her as a Robin but I do not consider her tenure as iconic. So like if she is left out of stuff, to me it's like I wouldn't notice unless someone actively made a point about it.

    Perhaps the way to put it would be that her time as Robin matters a lot more to her than to Robin.

    I can guarantee that if there was a way to change your vote, at least one of the No votes would now be a Yes vote — mine, in particular. Frankly, I think that this thread, and its poll, is too old and needs to be locked and possibly replaced by a new thread; too much has happened since the poll first went up.

    Doesn't hurt anybody to still have this running, and it has a lot of value to see if/when the numbers from new voters will eventually reverse the current results as to which position has the most votes.

    I just voted: Yes

    Plot device...what isn't a plot device? I would like to have seen her as Robin longer and think the Bat editorial staff missed an opportunity.

    Steph was a Robin just like Helena was a Batgirl.

    How a reader wants to head canon something to fit their own bias, needs or wants is irrelevant. It's like James Cameron telling me Terminator Dark Fate is really Terminator 3 cause he head canons away the other films since he didn't do them. Too bad Cameron there is already a T3.

    The combined propaganda campaign from DC is finally working! (Though it's perhaps the most halfhearted propaganda campaign ever)

    let her be, its not big honor or anything
    her initial motivation is still shallow but sure

    I'd disagree a bit - I think being Robin is a big honor - Steph herself says it's being "part of the legend". And the motivation seen in Robin #126 is shallow (though I think relatable), but if you add the Wizard #150 short story, it gives it a bit more depth! https://stephaniebrown.fandom.com/wi...d_Magazine_150

    Perhaps back in the day when Batman and robins were more of a duo. I think the position is eyed more becuase of recognizability.
    I agree with Damian it’s not a forever thing, and you should adavance from it. I like how people know Damian Name first before Robin. I think it will help in the long run.
