Before the beginning ranging ourselves, we have to make two mentions for robins oldest ever depicted in live action. John Duncan gave life to a child prodigy in the series Batman and Robinsince 1949, while Douglas Croft made a version of the hero in 1943, in Batmananother series released straight to theaters.

The two actors played very close versions Dick Grayson, the first of the Robins from the comics, although both didn’t have much expansion for the characters, who were always there almost like the Dark Knight’s “luxury accessory”. Because access to movies is difficult, we decided not to mention them in the list. ranging in general, but they deserve credit for being the first to play the prodigy in live action.

What is this Robin?: John Blake

Although the trilogy The Dark Knight V Christopher Nolan Considered by many to be one of the best comic book adaptations of superheroes ever made.Robin”, introduced in the third film, is a big disservice to the character’s story, all because of the attempt to make a “realistic” retelling of the Prodigy.

interpreted Joseph Gordon-Levittpolice officer John Blake is one of the most incorruptible law enforcement agents in Gotham City and appears in a plot to throw himself into danger and try to protect the innocent, although he doesn’t have a very developed arc. In the end, we discover that it is called Robin – yes, this is his Christian name, not a heroic one, which is all the more disappointing.

What is this Robin?: Tim Drake

Titans has always been marked by ups and downs, from start to finish, shown lately. One of the biggest criticisms from fans was the sheer number of characters introduced, many of which were underdeveloped due to over-focus on Dick Grayson. And a perfect example of this is Tim Drake V Jay Lycurgo.

Introduced in the third season as one of the possible successors Jason Todd, the character was only given the classic costume and nickname Robin in the fourth and final year of the series, which was already well-packed with characters and storylines. As a result, he’s underdeveloped – a shame, as the actor seemed to really enjoy the role.

What is this Robin?: Dick Grayson

Although Batman forever This Batman and Robin were two of the most (unfairly) criticized films in the history of comic book adaptations, it must be said that Robin V Chris O’Donnellalthough quite old compared to its comic book counterpart, was one of the best incarnations Joel Schumacher in a franchise.

Here, Dick Grayson is entitled to its classic origin story by being the youngest member flying graysonsuntil his family is killed and he is “adopted” Bruce Waynewhich then turns it into Robin. The character is goofy and makes some stupid decisions, but it’s a reflection of the more “fun” and “cartoon” air that Schumacher brought to the saga.

What is this Robin?: Jason Todd

Introduced in the first season Titans as a recurring character Robin V Jason Todd seems to conflict with Dick Graysonwho has left his legacy behind and seeks to emerge from the shadow of the Dark Knight. Just like Jason from the comics, the version played Curran Walters it is arrogant, petty and too cruel.

The character then goes through a deconstruction arc over the next two seasons, facing his own decisions and even becoming Little Red Riding Hood, taking on a new look and the most edgy personality of the comic. However, like many other heroes of the series, he finds himself in the shadows in the midst of so many events taking place on the screen.

What is this Robin?: Dick Grayson

With all your mistakes Titans at least managed to introduce us to Dick Grayson very faithful to the comics, taking on a darker and less “terrific” look in an attempt to move away from the legacy Batman and carve out a place for yourself as a lone hero, or rather as the main leader Titanssince it is he who “founds” the team in the universe of the series.

While the series has had a few issues along the way, it’s undeniable that the work done with Brenton Thwaites is exceptional, especially for the entire journey that leads him to give up his Robin mantle and become Night Winggaining a new costume and a more determined personality – and for good reason, as the series “sacrifices” the development of several characters in order to illuminate Dick’s storytelling.

What is Robin?: Dick Grayson

Many may not even like it and consider it “too stupid”, but the truth is that Batman from the 60s very well represents the adventure air of the most classic stories of the hero of the Golden Age of comics – and this is directly reflected in the exaggerated characterization, in the most badass little adventurers and, of course, in the relationship between Batman This Robin.

Here he is shown as a crusader’s hooded dumb buddy, Dick Grayson V Bert Ward it absorbs all the most essential aspects of its classic comic book counterpart, being one of the main comic reliefs with its most famous catchphrase (“Santa – insert any word here – Batman!”). Also, what’s most appealing about this version is Burt Ward’s chemistry with Adam Westour ultimate Batman – and what we don’t find in other versions Robin.
