the only robin who chose to be robin knowing the consequences. his own solo training and the training batman provided him made him so powerful and strong that he has to be held back my four people and could fight a group of assassins on a moving train while blindfolded. he wins against jason and ties with nightwing. fights with a bo staff. nightwing admitted tim could best his detective skills; batman said that tim will eventually surpass him. figured out batman and robin's identities when he was 9.
was a huge fan of dick and his family, so he recognised a gymnastic maneuver robin performed that he previously saw dick and his family do. batman & robin inspired tim to train himself in martial arts, acrobatics, detective skills, and scholastics. once he turned 13, tim could see that batman had turned reckless and more willing to hurt people than he used to be, which he deduced to be caused by him grieving jason's death. he decided that batman needs a robin so he can hold back again so he reached out to nightwing to try to convince him to return to being robin. he refused, but, upon seeing tim put himself in harm's way to help batman, makes him and alfred consider tim to be robin. bruce agreed to mentor and train him, but only as a helper in the batcave considering tim's significant technology skills and refused to involve him in the field out of fear of another robin dying after jason. after tim's mother died and his dad got paralysed, batman let him become robin when he was 14, and later adopted him.
