COMICS • COLLECTOR GUIDES
DC superhero identity traditionally used by Batman’s partners and protégés. This page collects the live-action films in the watchlist in which the character or team has a principal role, making it easier to follow their screen appearances and connected movie series.
Start with the essential comics, follow the character through the movie library, then continue into related stories and live shop inventory.
Robin begins with Dick Grayson, a young circus acrobat whose parents are murdered and who is taken in by Bruce Wayne. Recognising both Dick's potential and his pain, Batman trains him as his partner, Robin. The identity later becomes a legacy carried by Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown and Damian Wayne, each changing what Batman's partner means.
