Gifted with a deductive mind, he figures out at the age of nine who Batman and Robin are, having seen Dick Grayson as a Robin perform a similar arial trick to one he executed as a Flying Grayson. Bruce recruits him to be the new Boy Wonder following the death of hs mother and the crippling of his father. His father later dies, because all Robins, like the Batman they follow, are destined to be orphans. | How He Came to Be: | "Two possible origins:
(1) Like his predecessor, Jason was the child of acrobats killed by a criminal. He started dressing like Robin until Dick Grayson tracked him down, challenged him, and gave him a real costume once he found out his successor was up to the task.
(2) A child of the slums and a broken home, Batman meets Jason while he's trying to boost the hubcaps off the Batmobile. He initially tries to intervene by sending Todd to boarding school, but eventually allows him onto the team. | | Base of Operations: | Gotham City, NJ; Blüdhaven, NJ | Base of Operations: | Gotham City, NJ | | Teams/Affiliations: | Batman Family, Teen Titans, Young Justice, Wayne Enterprises, Batman Inc., Outsiders | Teams/Affiliations: | Batman Family, Batman Inc., Teen Titans, Challengers From Beyond, The Outlaws | | Signature Lines: | "What's my dad gonna do when I get home? I'm probably grounded into retirement." | Signature Lines: | "Nice' and Batman don't really gel, do they?" | | Arch-Enemy: | King Snake | Arch-Enemy: | Two-Face, initially | | Sidekick(s): | None | Sidekick(s): | None | | Paramour(s): | Stephanie Brown, Tamara "Tam" Fox | Paramour | Donna Troy/Wonder Girl (unrequited), Koriand'r/Starfire | | Has Been Played By: | TV and film don't seem to get far past Dick Grayson's Robin | Once Played By: | TV and film don't seem to get far past Dick Grayson's Robin | | Could Have Been Played By: | Joseph Gordon-Levitt | Could Have Been Played By: | Robbie Amell | | Song I Think Of: | "Rockin' Robin" by Bobby Day | Song I Think Of: | "Rockin' Robin" by The Jackson 5 | | Supernatural Powers: | Ain't got none. | Supernatural Powers: | Not how he rolls. | | Non-Super Abilities: | While Drake is a superb young athlete, trained by Batman and others in Ninjutsu, Karate, Judo, Aikido, Wing Chun, Shaolin Kung-Fu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, & Jeet Kune Do, he wasn't the natural hand-to-hand combatant of other Robins and took up that Bo-stick (Bojitsu) and kicks ass nicely with that. He has subsequently held his own among some of the deadliest competition, his fighting style marked less by the ferocity of Batman and other Robins, and more by strategic thinking and forethought.
His deductive reasoning skills have led Batman to conclude that he will inherit the mantle of ""world's greatest detective,"" having out-strategized master villians such as R'as a Ghul. He's also a highly skilled computer user, scientist (biology, genetics, engineering), and polyglot, speaking English, Cantonese, Russian, Spanish, and German. | Non-Super Abilities: | Jason was trained by Batman in acrobatics, detective work, marksmanship and martial arts. After his resurrection, he wandered the world like young Batman had, seeking deeper and more esoteric training, including from some of the same schools. And then he killed his masters. So he can handle himself. | | Stuff: | He's got a bo-stick, a semi-armored costume, a utility belt characteristic of a Bat-team guy, and load of batarangs. | Stuff: | He's got explosives, rocket launchers, machine guns, and other military-grade weaponry at his disposal. Prefers his assassin's dagger. | | Weaknesses: | He's a kid in an adult world, and a mortal among demigods. | Weaknesses: | He's got the weaknesses of a human, albeit a strong and acrobatic one. Has trouble not being governed by his emotions. |
