Origin

Tim Drake - son of Janet and Jack Drake - was present at the circus during the death of the Flying Graysons. A few years later, Timothy notes the footage, which tells about Batman and Robin, who once again defeated the Penguin. During the fight with the villain, Robin performed a fourth somersault, capable of which was only one person - Dick Grayson. Tim stacks two plus two and realizes that the Dark Knight's assistant is the son of those most Flying Graysons. The conclusion about the real identity of Batman also did not take long.

Tim Drake watched the duo of a superhero couple, even when Grayson's place was taken by Jason Todd. Dick, in turn, began a solo superhero career under the pseudonym Knighting. However, when Todd died at the hands of the Joker, Timothy realized that Robin needed a replacement.

Since Batman became more reasonable after the death of his ward, Drake decided to offer his candidacy for the role of the new Robin. However, Batman refused this idea, saying that he does not need a partner. Nevertheless, Tim did not accept the refusal. With the help of Grayson and Alfred, Drake remade Robin's old suit and began helping the Dark Knight. As a result, Bruce realized that the guy will not back down. Batman took a new partner, but only on condition that he passes an intensified course of physical and psychological training.

The duo of superheroes worked quite effectively. Tim Drake showed good skills in the fight against crime. But the true recognition and respect from Bruce Timothy was received only after the victory over the Scarecrow. It was after this fight that Tim received a new suit that distinguished him from other Robins.

The importance of Tim in the story of Batman can not be overestimated. First of all, Tim Drake helped to overcome Bruce internal demons, who tormented him after the death of Jason Todd. It was thanks to Drake that the Dark Knight returned to service. In addition, the new Robin was a good ally in the fight against villains. Tim Drake played a significant role in such plot arches as "The Fall of the Knight", "Nobody Earth", "Heritage", etc. Even when Bruce retired due to a broken back, Timothy did not quit the case and continued to defend A city with a new Batman.

But do not take Tim as an addition to Batman. Red Robin is a self-sufficient character. Moreover, he even had his own superhero team called "Young Justice". It included such characters as Wonder Girl, Arrouette, Mystery. All together, they have repeatedly saved the world from the most dangerous villains.

One Tim had to try on a Batman costume. It happened in a story arc called "Battle for a raincoat." After the news of Batman's death spread over the city, Gotham turned into a real hell. The Black Mask freed the most dangerous villains and psychopaths from Arkam, then blew up the clinic. Tim Drake decided to fight the villains not as Robin, but in Batman's face. So he took an old Bats Silver costume.

Relations with Jason Todd

As a rule, Robins do not get along very well. After all, they see each other as competitors. However, between Jason Todd and Tim Drake began a real war. When Todd returned to life and became a Red Cap, first of all he came for Tim. Jason did this in order to get explanations from Batman about the new Robin.

Tim Drake and Jason Todd fought in the comics not just once. One day, the Red Cap came into the Tower of the Titans. Todd did not find the memorial statue in his honor, although he was a member of the Titans (though not for long). In a rage, Jason attacks Tim. The battle ends with the defeat of the Red Robin. Moreover, after the victory Krasny Kolpak leaves the other members of the team with the message "Jason was here", which is written in Tim's blood.

During Bruce's absence, Tim helps Jason get out of prison, motivating the act that Batman would want it. And it seems like the relationship between the two Robins began to rebuild. However, all the points above I laid out the plot of "Battle for a raincoat," in which the Red Cap almost kills Red Robin.

Restarting

A couple of years ago, DiSi restarted their universe. As a result, the origins of the heroes were radically changed. The wind of change has not bypassed the Red Robin either. In the comic Teen Titans # 0 tells the story of the formation of this character. In "New 52" Tim Drake is a talented athlete and computer genius who almost unraveled the mystery of Batman's personality. One Tim meets Batman and offers his candidacy for the role of assistant. He refuses, but Tim Drake decides to prove that he can be of use. The boy hacks the Penguin's bank account and spends millions of dollars on charity. The villain was not at all happy about this turn of events and sent his bully to Tim and his family. Batman comes in time and saves the Drake. Now Tim's family is going through a witness protection program. As for Timothy, he for safety reasons becomes the adopted son of Bruce Wayne.
