Who do you think was the best Robin?
1. Burt Ward from the 60s tv show Batman
2. Chris O' Donnel from Batman Forever and Batman and Robin(Dick)
3. Loren Lester from Batman:The Animated Series
4. John Duncan from the old 40s 15 part serial
5. Matthew Valencia from The New Batman Adventures(Tim)
6. Golden Age version(Dick)
7. Silver age version(Dick)
8. Post Crisis(Tim)
9. Jason Todd(Silver Age Robin #2)
it's between Burt Ward(holy palaris!) Chris O' Donnel(Screw you I just saved your life!) and the Post Crisis Robin.
Ha,I cant believe the two people who voted for Chris O'donnel.Thats a laugh.He single handedly ruined Batman Forever and is by far the worst actor to ever play Robin.Not only was he wayyyyy too old to be adopted for the role of robin,him and Kilmer looked practically the same age,but his acting was horrible and pathectic.Loren Lester rules as the best robin to ever do that role.Chris O'donnel stunk up the joint in those films.

I like Tim Drake. O'Donnel was horrible; what the hell were they thinking?

Jason Todd. He was so badass, I remember Batman said, "what do you think this is, a game?" and Jason replied with, "of course" with a smirk on his face.
Even if they hadn't killed Jason Todd, I'm not sure what they'd have done with him. He couldn't really continue being Robin after murdering the diplomat's kid.

Dudez, I take that as an insult! I thought o' Donnel was pretty kool in Batman Forever, now if you wanna know who killed Batman Forever, it was either Tommy Lee Jones or Jim Carrey! Jim was NO Riddler. And Lee Jones was too hahahaha to be Two Face(though I did think the qoutes were pretty kool) My second choice would have been the Golden Age version than Burt Ward.(Why hasn't anybody voted for Ward yet!?)
Mmm i like Tim Drake because mentally he is on par with Batman

O'Donnel was a terrible mess, his was the first of many horrible miscasts in both Forever and Batman and Robin. Apart from Ward I haven't seen any other Robin's in action, so it would have to be him.
Jason was never as skilled as Tim or Dick. He was powered by his rage. It started to slowly consume him (when he supposedly threw the guy off the building). He was becoming more and more unmanageable day by day: he started to expose himself to danger in an irrational way when he wore the Robin costume. Batman was near to forbidding Jason to continue being Robin. This led to his inevitable downfall by The Joker. (Not to mention fans calling in to vote him dead) (please log in to view the image)(please log in to view the image)(please log in to view the image)

But yeah since Dick moved on to become Nightwing, it's fair to say Timmy is a GREAT Robin!So adorable and cute.And he brings out the fatherly instincts in Bruce too.
Dude, you just called me a homo! I'm a male! And as I am gonna say, Golden Age and Ward could have been my choice but hey, did Ward ever drive the Batboat alone? And I don't think the Golden Age Robin was old enough to drive. But my goodness, the dude called me a homo with the "They most likely voted for him cause he's hot" qoute.
411 I'm a male. And this is off topic but what's going on in This Batman issue? I haven't gotten enough time to buy it yet.

Mr. Parker is right. Chris O'donnels acting skills are awful. The only good thing about him was he was kind of hot in the robin suit.
