So I just wondering about the new girl Robin, is there any special reason why she is Robin and why Bruce is STILL taking in kids as sidekicks in his dangerous life?
And also wasn't there a storyline in the Batman cartoon where kids were talking about Batman and one of them(a girl) imagained herself as Robin that looked kinda like the new comic Robin or was that something else?
That was something else... the girl imagined herself as Carry from 'Dark Knight Returns' who techincally was the first female Robin... but not really.
I remember that episode of the Batman cartoon. That was the first time I was exposed to something remotely resembling The Dark Knight Returns. Anyway, about Robin...
Dick Grayson's family was killed (I do not know all the details about this, but hope to find out, perhaps when I buy Robin: Year One it'll explain it to me). They all worked at the circus. Dick was taken in by Bruce and became Robin, he wanted revenge. Jason Todd's parents were killed by Clayface. Jason then became Robin. He wanted revenge. Tim's story is very interesting to me. This Wednesday I'm getting a trade from when he became Robin (I ordered it in at my comic book store). I'll tell you what I know. Tim made his own Robin outfit and started going around as Robin. Tim also figured out that Bruce was Batman all by himself. So Bruce let him become Robin and gave him a new outfit (the new Robin outfit). Tim's parents were still alive (different from any other Robin, something I really like about Tim). He hid the fact he was Robin from his dad (he has a stepmom, I don't know if his father and real mother were married when he first became Robin or not).
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
Anyway, his dad recently was suspicious and went into Tim's room and started snooping around. He found a secret panel in Tim's closet and found Tim's costume AND a "war journal" that Tim kept. So Tim's dad found out that Bruce is Batman and went to the mansion with a gun to get his son and make him quit. He also threatened Bruce about putting his son in danger. He was quite pissed off. He did agree not to tell anyone that Bruce is Batman (though originally he planned to tell in his anger), but he made Tim quit.
End of Spoiler
Spoiler decided she wanted to become Robin in Tim's absence. I suggest you pick up the issue #126 of Robin when she becomes Robin. It's interesting. I like her. That issue will explain to you why he let her become Robin.

With those tiny, tiny shorts the original Robin used to prance around in I'm not sure how you couldn't tell what gender that kid was. >_>
Maybe that's why he's called 'the BOY wonder' to clear up confusion... also make up your own crude joke about his name AND the name of the male-only body part he shares it with!

So Batman's on his second Batgirl and third and a half Robin... considering how rough he is on sidekicks it's amazing anybody is still interested in taking the job.
Well life as Batman's side-kick ain't so bad... let's review!
Robins:
-Dick- grew up, outgrew "Robin" became "Nightwing, is alive and well and still kicking ass
-Jason- was murdered, but let's face it his death was pretty interesting and if he had lives it would have been stupid!
-Tim- his father made him quite, he's not hurt or nothing, he'll be Robin again in the near future
-Whatever Spoiler's Real Name Is- is just filling in, she's be Spoiler again soon
Batgirls:
-Barbara-The Joker shot her in the back, but that was to get at Gordon, not Batman... she could have never been Batgirl and had that happen... she's still an active crime fighter though!
-Cassie- seems to be fine
so really out of his 3.5 Robins, 2 Batgirls, 1 Nightwings, 1 Huntress, and 1 very Faithful Butler only 1 has died and only one has been seriously wouned! Not bad for a crazy man getting kids involved in his war on crime.

The first female robin, from Dark Knight Returns, was my favorite robin of them all. So sassy but so skillfull!
Techincally she's not the 'first' female Robin anymore!!!! You see although she CAME first, Spoiler Robin chronologically is the first Robin...
But then again DKR might not really be in the 'real' Batman universe, it and Batman Beyond and Kingdom Come and the proposed storyline for "Batman the Cyber-Revolutions" are just four of serveral billion possiblities for Batman's future!!! who knows what will become of Robin in any of those!!! so Carrey might be the first girl Robin in that world... I don't care.

You sure? From what I've heard, she's gonna bite the literal bullet in the upcoming bat-tacular bat-crossover and give ol' Bruce something else to brood over.
Still, 2/4 robins still alive ain't too bad . . .
or maybe I just made that up, I can't remember.
I think that spoiler about Spoiler (ha ha ha) is just a rumor. It's definately not something set yet and I would be really disappointed if they killed her off (I like her a lot). I have also heard that Tim's dad may die but I think that'd be really stupid because then he'd just be like all the other Robins. And Spoiler's name is Stephanie. By the way, in the next issue of Teen Titan's (#13) Steph Robin is going to appear in what I think is a 3-issue storyline so I guess they are gonna deal with Tim not being Robin in the Teen Titan's book for a few issues, but he'll be back soon.
By the way, I got that trade about Tim today, it's called "A Lonely Place of Dying" and collects some issues of Batman and The New Titans and it's about Tim taking over the role of Robin. It's very good and I recommend it, especially since it's only 6 bucks. And you get to find out how Tim figured out Nightwing is Dick Grayson and Batman is Bruce Wayne. Note: Tim had known for a while, as far back as when Dick was Robin.
