Timothy Jackson "Tim" Drake (also known as Tim Wayne) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with Batman. The character was created by Marv Wolfman and Pat Broderick, and first appeared in ''Batman'' #436 (Aug. 1989) as the third character to take on the Robin identity until 2009. Following the events in ''Batman: Battle for the Cowl'', he has taken up the identity of Red Robin. With the continuity changes after the DC Comics relaunch, it had been suggested in the ''Teen Titans'' series that Tim Drake never took up the Robin mantle officially, but rather was Batman's sidekick under the name Red Robin; however, this is contradicted by various issues, as well as stories by Scott Snyder (''Batman'' series) and Peter J. Tomasi (''Batman & Robin'' series), all of which make references to Tim Drake's time as Robin. A near-future version of Tim, first introduced in ''The New 52: Futures End'', later stars in his own ongoing series ''Batman Beyond'', having assumed the mantle of Batman from his mentor. The character has been featured in various other formats, such as ''The New Batman Adventures'' and ''Young Justice: Invasion''. In 2011, Tim Drake was ranked 32nd in IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes. ==Publication history== Tim Drake was named after Tim Burton, director of the then-upcoming 1989 film, and introduced in 1989's ''Batman: Year Three'' and his origin detailed in ''Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying'', in which he first introduced himself to Dick Grayson and impressed the former Robin with his skills. This led to Grayson and later Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne's butler, to support Tim's request to be Batman's new partner. Not wanting to make the same mistake as he did with Jason Todd, Batman had Tim endure an intensive period of training that was never given to his predecessors. Eventually Tim proves his capability and becomes Robin. ''Batman'' editor Dennis O'Neil hoped that Grayson's approval of Drake would ease reader acceptance of him. Evidently, this approach was successful with the character being so accepted by readers that, after three successful miniseries, the character had his own 183-issue series from 1993 through 2009.〔Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 261: ""() embarked on a solo career, with the help of writer Chuck Dixon and artist Tom Grummett."〕 Mike Mullins on ''Newsarama'' has stated: Throughout (entire Robin series ), the character of Robin has been captured consistently, showing him to step up to greater and greater challenges. Robin is a character who shows initiative and is driven to do what he views as right. He knows he is living up to a legacy left by Dick Grayson and strives to not disappoint Bruce Wayne, Batman. Tim is a more natural detective than previous Robins and is talented with computers, which allows him to stand in his own unique spotlight. Unlike his predecessors, Tim is not the most proficient combatant and has had to really work on his fighting technique, taking up the bo staff to give him an edge that Batman doesn’t need. Tim almost always seeks to analyze a problem and to outthink his opponent but has shown the ability to win a fight when necessary. As Robin, the character has also been featured prominently in the Young Justice and 2003 Teen Titans series. As of June 2009, he took on the new identity of Red Robin, starring in yet another series by the same name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tim Drake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
