Warning ! Contains spoiler forRobins # 1 .
Long - timeBatmanpartner Tim Drake , the thirdRobin , has on a tenacious journey of deciding what codename he should sink on . presently , he ’s decided to repay toRed Robin , the mantle he take whenDamian Waynebecame “ regular ” Robin . But that has n’t discontinue young Damian from viciously mocking Tim for the most unenviable name that he sport for a little while in late year – “ The Drake . ”
redbreast , by Tim Seeley and Baldemar Rivas , was the winner of DC ’s Round Robin Fan Tournament , where fans voted on a new DC miniseries . The first issue , release on October 16 , 2021 , begins a story that put all the former Robins together to pursue a occult villain who claims to be the “ original ” Robin .

However , before the main fight gets go , the story begins with the Robins taking down the mob known as the Anarkies . While trying to defuse a bomb position up by the thugs , Damian exclaim at Tim to step away , instinctively cry him by his real family name , Drake . Tim responds by tell the current Robin to only use codenames , but Damian responds by pointing out the obvious fact that Tim literally used to expend “ Drake ” as a codename .
Tim brush aside the comment , but it ’s operose to argue with Damian ’s stone - cold logic . Tim ’s old codename is pretty silly and arguably downright life-threatening . first , the name has become sort of a punching bag , even to the power point ofbeing made fun of by Harley Quinn in - universe , due to its lack of creativeness and because it usually cite to a manful duck ( clearlya more telling bird than a robin ) . But secondly , even if the duck - name did n’t have the silly connotation that it does , that still does n’t wipe off the fact that Tim was press crime using his legal name , despite very much still having a secret identity . The fact that this never occurred to Tim , who has the report of being the bright Robin , is somewhat astounding .
One has to wonder whether or not this means Tim ’s secret identity is in peril of being wholly compromise now thathis abbreviated prison term as “ The Drake ” has come and gone . After all , if Harley Quinn knew about the codename , then it may very well be public knowledge , andRed Robinwill theoretically have to go to superfluous lengths to hide the fact that his old superhero name is the same as his substantial name . But as long asDamiangets to keep making fun of him for it , the currentRobinwill probably be quenched with the style things have gone .
