But, aside from that historical note, another interesting topic is how Robin got his name. Namely, there are two explanations for the origin of his name and we are going to present both of them to you. According to the first theory, it was Jerry Robinson who came up with the name. This is what Jerry Robinson had to say about this issue:. I had been given a Robin Hood book illustrated by N. Still, there are some sources that claim otherwise.
According to the second theory, Robin was not named after Robin Hood — in fact, Robin Hood had no influence on the character at all — but after the small American robin bird, which was a reference to his acrobatic skills. This was discussed as far back as the late s, but aside from a few comic books, not many sources have supported this claim, at least not as many as those that supported the first theory.
There are also those, like Len Wein, who — in his The Untold Legend of Batman — suggests that both theories are, in fact, true. The Joker. Ra's al Ghul. Talia al Ghul. Poison Ivy. Mister Freeze. Harley Quinn. Killer Croc. Black Mask. Lady Shiva. Carmine Falcone. Powers: exceptional martial artist , combat strategy , advanced technology , gymnastic ability. Base of Operations: Gotham City. This is the story of a young Dick Grayson, newly orphaned, struggling to find his way in a strange, difficult, dark new world…This is the story of Robin and Batman.
Few people know of that and it was a good story for its time. Good facts all around. The only critique I'd make would be that Bruce Wayne didn't adopt Tim Drake until after his father was killed by Captain Boomerang during the Identity Crisis storyline. Hi Geekdom, great hub mate, reading this has just reminded me what a superb and underated GN Son Of The Demon was i must read that again, also be nice if you could do a hub on the lesser known Robins like Carrie Kelley. Hi Geek, well done.
By the way, the call in to bump off Jason Todd, it was the best 25 cents I ever spent to rid the Earth-1 Universe of that pipsqueak, only to have him retconned back.
I didn't mind Dick Grayson growing up, going to college and becoming Nightwing. I didn't mind Jason Todd becoming the new Robin. My problem was changing Jason's origin and his personality. Because when he "died", it wasn't so much of a big deal. However, Tim Drake as Robin was perfect, he even earned Robin his own book. But even that wasn't good enough.
Stephanie as Robin was a nice change of pace, but her as Batgirl was even better, but now she doesn't exist? Party Games. Drinking Games. Lawn Games. Creative Writing. Card Games. Magic: The Gathering. Comic Books.

By Nathan Kiehn. He will pick up Robin's mask to help Batman defeat Grantland Stark, a thief who stole millions of dollars in oil, but will die sacrificing himself for Batman. He eventually became a member of the Justice Society of America.
During his later years, he adopted a more Batman-like look for a time, and by the s had become a lawyer and the ambassador to South Africa. Although in semi-retirement, he was called back to active duty when he rejoined the Justice Society during the period when Power Girl and Star-Spangled Kid also assisted them. He died during the miniseries Crisis on Infinite Earths , in which the DC Multiverse was reduced to one universe, and this version of Grayson, as well as the Earth-Two Batman, were deemed never to have existed.
The relationship between him and Batman was poor, to the point of even abusive in places. Grayson was fired by Batman and replaced with Jason Todd. Much like the Prime-Earth, Jason Todd served as his replacement and was killed in action during an encounter with the Joker. His death haunts Batman and was one of the factors for leaving his crusade. Initially patrolling the streets independently, she officially joins his crusade after saving him from the Mutant Leader.
Together, they dismantle the Mutant street gang , face the Joker one final time, and maintain order in Gotham after a nuclear strike. Three years later, Carrie continues to operate alongside him, taking up the mantles of Catgirl , Batgirl and Batwoman.
