King Snake's plan was actually to unleash his plague into Hong Kong so as to leave it a rotting cesspool before the Chinese reclaimed it from the British. While there, Shiva trained with Robin some more, and here he first acquired his collapsible fighting staff. Together they discovered that King Snake was interested in more than just drugs-he was going into the chemical weapons industry, manufacturing his own bubonic plague. Not that Shiva was opposed to it for any moral sake, she simply wished to learn for herself if King Snake was truly as dangerous as rumors made him out to be-a good challenge for her talents. Shiva actually joined with Robin and a man named Clyde Rawlins (who wanted revenge against Snake for the death of his family) to help take down King Snake's heroin trafficking in the area. In Paris, Tim crossed paths with some thugs working for King Snake, who was himself being shadowed by Lady Shiva.
His first stop would be Paris, where he would learn from Rahul Lama, a Chinese martial arts master.
#TIM DRAKE FANART HOW TO#
This would involve a tour overseas, helping Tim understand who he was in addition to learning how to be a great fighter. All that was necessary was that Tim go through intensive training before taking to the streets in Gotham. He also confided in him that he was looking for someone with smarts, not just guts, and Tim had that and more. After later saving Batman and Vicki Vale and defeating the Scarecrow, Bruce at last bestowed upon Tim the mantle of Robin, as well as a new costume.ĭespite finally getting his heart's desire, Tim had his doubts about becoming the new Robin, but Bruce told him that he had every confidence in him to be his new partner. Tim, however, became more driven by his desire to do what was right, rather than petty revenge. Batman began to reconsider Tim for the role of Robin, due to his fear that Tim was now motivated by anger, just as Jason had been. Unfortunately, Janet and Jack both drank water laced with poison, and Janet died, while Jack was left in a coma. The Obeah man intended to sacrifice them, but Batman arrived to their rescue.
Unfortunately, just prior to completing his training, the ruthless Obeah Man later captured Tim's parents during a trip to the Caribbean. He was trained over several months, first by Alfred, then Batman, and finally Nightwing before ever being allowed to wear the costume again or go into the field.
#TIM DRAKE FANART TRIAL#
Batman, although extremely reluctant, accepted Tim as the new Robin on a trial basis after being convinced by the boy, as well as Dick and Alfred. Realizing that his idols were in danger, Tim donned the costume of Robin, at only thirteen years old and with the help of Alfred Pennyworth, was able to rescue them. Dick ignored these pleas and raced off to help his mentor, only for both Dick and Bruce to be captured by Two-Face. However, where Dick intended to help Batman as Nightwing, Tim remained convinced that Batman needed Robin more. When Nightwing left the Titans for a short time in order to find himself, Tim followed him and after helping Dick solve a mystery at Haly's Circus, was able to convince Dick that Batman needed help. After Jason's death, Timothy began to take notice of a drastic and almost psychotic change in Batman's behaviour, in which he became convinced that Batman needed a Robin to maintain his sanity. Tim continued to follow the adventures of the Dynamic Duo, as well as Grayson's becoming Nightwing and Jason Todd succeeding him as Robin. After learning Grayson was the ward of Bruce Wayne, he came to the conclusion that Grayson was Robin and that of course Wayne was Batman. Robin performed a quadruple somersault, a rare maneuver that only a Flying Grayson could do. Feeling sorry for Dick, Jack and Janet sent him a copy of the photo they had taken prior to the murder.Ī few years later at the age of nine, Tim saw footage of Batman and Robin apprehending the Penguin. As his parents rushed him out of the circus tent, Tim managed to catch sight of the mysterious Batman consoling Dick.
Soon after, Tim and his family bore witness to the murder of Dick's parents John and Mary, alongside Bruce Wayne. It was here that Tim first met Dick Grayson, who offered Tim special attention, and even promised to dedicate his performance to the toddler. In order to ease his wife's concerns that the circus might frighten Tim, Jack Drake asked to take a picture with the Flying Graysons, who were the starring act. Tim Drake was little more than a toddler when he attended the circus with his parents.
