![]() However, something I keep coming back to when it comes to Damian is that he accepted the role of Robin. He's better than the others in every way - at least every way that matters. Again, it's sibling rivalry played out to the Nth degree. "As for Damian, he's gone to great lengths to express his low opinion of most everyone he comes into contact with (who knew arrogance could be such a virtue), and Tim tops the list. The last thing Tim would want to see is the same thing with the Titans. Tim could not help feeling somewhat brushed aside as Bruce adapted to his arrival. But let's be honest, Damian came out of nowhere as the literal son Bruce never had. Naturally, he would not want to see those closest to him harmed because of the little runt's impulsive and aggressive nature. Tim sees Damian as damaged goods, as a potential risk to those around him. "Obviously, Tim is not thrilled about Damian taking on the role of Robin in Gotham, and he's even less thrilled about him joining the rest of the gang at Titans Tower. Yet as with any great sibling rivalry, there are layers upon layers of feelings and attitudes that ebb and flow over time. "On a very primal, visceral level that's how Tim and Damian feel towards one another. "'I hate you more! If hate were people, I'd be China!' To which Daniel replies, with every fiber of his being: "For some reason, when I think of Red Robin (Tim Drake) and Robin (Damian Wayne), I can't help but recall that great scene in City Slickers (am I dating myself?) where Daniel Stern and his wife are fighting at a party.

So different, that when they cross paths in the upcoming RED ROBIN / TEEN TITANS crossover, things are sure to get interesting. They both carry the Robin namesake, but Damian Wayne and Tim Drake have very different ways of doing things.
