His first stop was Paris, to learn from Rahul Lama, a Tibetan martial arts master. However, Tim's training wasn't over, and Bruce had Tim sent overseas on a tour to continue learning. Bruce also confided in Tim that he was looking for someone with smarts, not just guts, and Tim had that and more. Though finally in costume, Tim had cold feet about his abilities as a crime fighter, but Bruce told him that he had every confidence in Tim being his new partner. Tim's father now required the care of a personal nurse Dana Winters.Īfter assisting in the defeat of the Scarecrow, Batman finally deemed Tim was ready to fulfill his role as the new Robin and was gifted a costume unique from the previous two.

When Dick refused to give up his new position to once again work as Robin, Tim volunteered to become the newest Robin, but Batman refused. Tim even noticed Grayson's change of identity to Nightwing and Jason Todd becoming the second Robin.Īt the age of 13, after the death of Jason at the hands of the Joker, Tim, from his observations, noticed a change in Batman's personality, who was grieving over his failure, and went on a quest to reunite Batman and Nightwing, hoping to return the Dynamic Duo back to basics. Making use of impressive deductive abilities, Tim pieced together the truth behind Batman and Robin's identities and followed their careers very closely. Years later, Tim saw footage of Batman and Robin apprehending the Penguin and noticed Robin's unique acrobatics, which reminded him of Dick Grayson. Timothy Drake was the only son of Jack and Janet Drake and was raised in a wealthy household.Īs a small boy, Tim was taken to Haly's Circus, where he met Dick Grayson and the Flying Graysons, the same day as their deaths, which he witnessed and would never forget.
