This show is underrated af, it has the weirdest joker design and every character is a martial artist expert but still the story of every episode are amazing, highly recomended.
Dick Grayson born and raise in a circus. He had everything a kid needs until the circus came to Gotham and met Tony Zuko. He attempted to shake them down for protection money but the Graysons refused the offer. Not willing to take NO for an answer, he sabotaged their act murderering Duck's parents leaving him an orphan. But from the tragedy, Robin was born.
It was but not to this extent. We see Dick lose his parents, but we didn't spend half the episode getting to know them and see what great people they were. That actually gave the episode more punch if you ask me.
I love how this series makes Alfred so expressive without making him overemotional. Like here, you can really see the sadness and compassion he has for Robin.
Gotta say, I think The Batman handled Dick's backstory better than The Animated Series Batman. We spend a good amount of time getting to know Dick and his parents, as well as setting up Zucco as being a real scumbag so when the moment hits we feel worse for Dick and hate Zucco even more.
Poor Dick, his parents didn't deserve such a tragedy. Also this was back when Batman/Bruce Wayne was more likable and more open to others, now he's such a closed off BATDICK that I sometimes just don't like!
Dick: Parents are murdered. Jason: Orphan who becomes a theif. Damian: Trained to kill people from a very young age. Tim: Casually becomes batmans apprentice.
William Benavidez true but it’s stated had tim not have become robin he wouldn’t be as intelligent as Bruce or even rival him later on given he isn’t trained by bruce
Well the Robin in TT is also Dick Grayson, and they have a striking resemblance in fighting styles, just he’s older in TT. They’re likely different universes, but both shows were in production around the same time. So both studios probably bounced off of each other for inspiration on this Robin.
@@HerooftheWild But remember, the Nightwing design from Teen Titans was from an alternate future where Starfire disappeared and never came back. Since that got fixed by the end of that episode, the design could end up changing.
One of the many reasons I love this underrated show. It really went into and showed Dick's past and perfectly made an episode of him becoming Batman's sidekick and adopted son. I was really touched from how great of a person Bruce showed himself to be by paying for his parents funeral and then adopting him and even more by him trying to find the murderer of Robin's parents. I think this show really gave Batman a lot more character as Bruce Wayne than Batman. And other then the Teen Titans this show portrays Dick Grayson the best.
Does anyone else noticed tony zucco is voiced bye mark hamill and dick's father(i dont know his name lmao)voiced bye kevin conroy uhh nice details dc nice details
Doesn't that give you the feels of grief even if you are not the one falling down or directly witnessing this. And of course, that joke of a show which I will not mention its name made fun of this tragic event to rub salt into wounds.
Dick Grayson - acrobat, great detective (second only to Batman), DC's top 10 fighter (arguably better than Batman in H2H), DC's greatest leader, angry kid grown up to be the heart of DCU. What a wonderful journey!!! You did good, Bruce.
I’m still a kid now, but I know when I grow up this will still make me cry. Just seeing Dick smile at the beginning, and then seeing him cry at the end
Eh, I wouldn't be too afraid. Im scared of heights too but it is very unlikely for this to happen. You probably wouldn't weigh enough to break the chain, and if you did weigh enough to do that you wouldn't be let on. Even if all goes wrong considering your not a professional there would be safety net to catch you, so yeah dont be afraid
Melvin Farrugia he’s the guy that played Luke Skywalker in all of the Star Wars movies and he played the joker multiple times in The animated of Batman and the Batman Arkham games DUH
The best part of this episode is that it features 3 guest voice actors in The Batman (2004) Kevin Conroy - John Grayson Grey DeLisle - Mary Grayson Mark Hamill - Tony Zucco
The relationship that Dick had with his parents makes me want to cry. It was so heartbreaking when he said he misses his parents! And Alfred said his parents were everything that boy had. And for Batman to take him in and raise as his own just shows how good of man Bruce Wayne is. He can totally relate to Richard Grayson. The parents that killed Bruce’s parents were never brought to Justice so he doesn’t want the same thing to happen to Robin. So he did something about it. And Zucco got brought to Justice.
This is pre Teen Titans Robin. After TT was pulled off the air this Robin appears in the Batman which was on simultaneously as Teen Titans. DC’s rule is the characters from TT and the Batman can’t appear on both shows. I guess that didn’t apply to the voice actors because Hynden Walch recorded lines for TT and the Batman.
It’s always interesting to see shows connect to others. When we see flashbacks in Young justice they show clips from this show which I find really interesting.
It’s really cool they got Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy to guest in this episode. Total legends. Rest In Peace Kevin, you were the fn best brother. God speed to you sir.
Out of all Robin's Dick truly was the best one and was able to keep his sanity in tact while actually being a leader. He was able to lead the teen titans, become nightwing and even go in disguise as Batman for a while.
The Batman and The Animated Series were the only forms of Batman that truly felt human. Now, he's always portrayed as this bruting sociopath Gary Stu but at his core, Batman is still a broken boy, trapped forever in that alleyway, which is why he can relate to children who are also broken. Comics tend to forget this aspect about Bruce in an effort to make him seem as cool as possible and its a shame.
He was the most skilled out of all Robin's, including Damien. His acrobatics really shined when literally dancing around his opponent, it was so unpredictable and straight up very strong. They tried to kill him so many times it's actually hilarious. Correction: He DIED in many ways lol, the Injustice one was a fever dream.
I get that he made an impulsive decision but I think the father should've negotiated a little more or even said yes as he and his family were surrounded.
2:03 you’re not telling me that’s Kevin Conroy? And not only does that sound exactly like him but Tony zuko (I assume that’s what he’s called) sounds like mark hamill… I mean what!

Strongest Robin to dick grayson
Dick: Parents are murdered.
Jason: Orphan who becomes a theif.
Damian: Trained to kill people from a very young age.
Tim: Casually becomes batmans apprentice.
That’s why tim became the best robin. And the only one to rival Batman’s intellect
@Ilija Nenadovic and drinks!
That's why Tim is my favorite he didn't have a dark origin and was actually pretty smart
@Maral Coskun It isn't tragic though.
William Benavidez true but it’s stated had tim not have become robin he wouldn’t be as intelligent as Bruce or even rival him later on given he isn’t trained by bruce
I’m glad he had a good final moments with his family
The final moments were of watching his parents turn into pancakes
Daniel Martinez yeah but I mean like the part before that when he was complaining about his suit
Daniel Martinez 😂😭😭
The Batman handled the Graysons' deaths pretty well. Like TAS, they cut away, showing the audience's reactions.

They’re likely different universes, but both shows were in production around the same time. So both studios probably bounced off of each other for inspiration on this Robin.

I find this death scene more sadder and heartbreaking than the one in the original Animated series.
That's cuz this did more to bring the tension. In BTAS, it was a bit more surprising.
So this is what Robin looks like without his mask in my favorite DC show, Teen Titans original.

This was in “the batman’ one of my favorite animated Batman tv shows

Lol Grayson wasn’t a “angry kid” AT ALL, he’s always been a happy kid who got traumatized a bit but got over quickly due to Bruce helping him out!
