10 Reasons Why Robin Is The Hero Gotham Deserves

9. Detective Skills

Caped Crusader, Dark Knight; all names synonymous with Batman, as well as "World's Greatest Detective". The last could be argued as the most accurate nickname, right up until the introduction of Tim Drake into the Robin Fold.

Even by his own origin, Tim proved his capabilities as a detective, discovering Batman’s identity by attending the circus show which killed the Flying Graysons and seeing Bruce Wayne consoling a young Dick over his loss.

Seeing footage of Dick as Robin performing the quadruple somersault - something only the Grayson family could complete - Tim quickly worked out that Dick being a ward to Bruce Wayne meant that Bruce must be Batman.

later in his career, after the disappearance of Batman, Tim was the only member of the Bat-family to believe him to still be alive. After extensive research, he proved it. Time and time again Tim was discouraged to give up the search based on the minimal evidence he held onto, but kept building a case in the shadows until he could bring the Bat home. Ra's Al Ghul even went to the length of recruiting Tim to lead the search.

Both Ra’s and Batman have both commented on his abilities, and both also agree that Tim will surpass The Batman in this detective skill.
