"Where does he get his wonderful toys?!" Well, from Lucius Fox and Wayne Enterprises mainly. Tim Drake, however, had no such leg up.

Once established as a Robin, Tim took advantage of all the tech at his disposable putting his expert hacking abilities to good use whenever needed. Using the skills he had learned long before donning the "R", Tim quickly became a Bat-Computer natural and as one of his first solo assignments, using his skill to uncover and stop Joker with no Bat-Backup or Fox built Batmobile to help.

Not every problem can be solved with a fist and through hacking government systems, creating viruses and programs to counter any technological attack, Tim ensured all bases were covered. He even went as far as creating a new base of operations known as the "Belfry". The Belfry was a welcoming home to all of the Bat-Family and as well as his own equipment, and Tim regularly helped improve the systems and weapons of any hero looking for an upgrade.

Tim has shown that a master of the keyboard is as essential as mastery of a Batarang.
