The *first* Jason Todd was a nice Dick-Grayson-like character with a rich background. The 2nd Jason Todd was an annoying brat who got rightly killed by the fans …

And then there’s Robin 3000. Godawful.

Given Obama’s age, I think he is talking about TV Batman and Robin. As in “Holy landslide, Batman!”

Should I be amused or worried that
a) I was able to follow this thread
b) it’s one of the longest discussions I’ve seen here?

Ray, the reason Dick Grayson became Nightwing changes every couple of years according to the latest retcon (aka current editorial whim).

Kyle Rayner is Green Lantern!

…except whenever Hal Jordan isn’t bonkers. Less said about John Stewart the better.

Now just wait a nit-picking minute. Dick Grayson didn’t become Nightwing because he was mad at Batman. He did it because he felt he had outgrown the role of Robin, and wanted to establish his own identity.

It was the second Robin, Jason Todd, who really had an ax to grind. He got blown up.
