Okay, I'm still not a truly big fan of Robin, but Tim Drake is pretty cool and didn't have any lame lines or anything in TAS. Grayson is also a favorite but I guess because he eventually becomes Nightwing. I guess Grayson gets my vote, though.

Truthfully, Nightwing deserves his own movie. He's very similar to Batman and has a much more badass costume to boot. I say give him a movie putting him in a Gotham with no Batman who is either injured, dead, or has passed the mantle to Nightwing. That'd be really cool to see.

To be fair, who's actually going to consider voting for Stephanie Brown? And Carrie Kelly was pretty annoying too, to be honest. Then again, I think DKR's overrated so what do I know?

Not that I've read that many Batman comics to judge, but I think DKR is overrated as well. To me, a good comic needs to have attractive drawings/art coupled by good writing. Hush would be my all-time favourite
The crude-ish drawings in DKR put me off the story completely

As well as the rather unnatractive art, I found the plot was a mess and Miller pushed the whole 'yeah, Batman's really dark and f*cked up' thing a little too far. It was, to be honest, somewhat tedious. It wasn't absolute crap, but it was far from the best Batman story. I much prefer Year One and the Long Halloween.

Though I appreciate what I think are good drawings, I think it is a bit immature to disqualify the book on the grounds of it. Dark Knight Returns is highly rated for it's story, not for it's drawings (which I personally find alright actually). I don't fin the drawings in Sandman, Watchman or V for Vendetta overly appealing, but I think there's no denying that the writing is genius and as that not overrated.
I would've made it multiple choice had there been more Robin's to choose from. But that's how I generally feel...Tim was always the better Robin while Grayson was the lame Robin that evolves into a character even cooler than Batman.

Year One's a 'must-read' and readily available too. The art is much better (by the great David Mazzucchelli, whose name I can't spell) and the story really introduced the idea of Batman taking on the mob and institutional corruption in Gotham. Probably my second favourite of Miller's works, after Daredevil: Born Again...
