Batman: Ranking Every Robin Worst To Best

6. Stephanie Brown

Stephanie Brown is probably best known as Spoiler, but for a brief period she was Batman's protege following the resignation of her then boyfriend, Tim Drake. Bruce Wayne was hesitant to take her under his wing as she wasn't as adept at crimefighting as previous Robins - an instinct he probably should've trusted.

Stephanie's term as Batman's field partner was as short as it was tragic. After a falling out that led to her dismissal as Robin, Brown stole some of Batman's plans to deal with the entirety of Gotham's criminal syndicates in one blow. This was an obvious mistake to everyone but Stephanie, but she was determined to prove herself worthy of the uniform.

To no one's surprise the plan ended up being botched and then led to an all out gang war. It also resulted in Stephanie being tortured and mortally wounded by Black Mask.

Of course Stephanie was revived because this is comics and no one stays dead. She would return as Spoiler, but her death marks another failure for Bruce Wayne and drove Tim Drake away from Gotham - at least for a period of time.
