We’ve already had one episode dedicated entirely to the origin of Dick Grayson, the first Robin. Now it’s time to move on to stories featuring the early days of three of the next Robins (no, we’re not taking part in Stephanie Brown erasure; she’ll just get a focus in a Batgirls episode, we promise). See the origin of Jason Todd (and not the knock off Dick Grayson one), Tim Drake take up the mantle of Robin, and Damian Wayne enter Batman’s life.
- The Post-Crisis Origin of Jason Todd (Batman V.1 #408-411)
- Identity Crisis [No, not THAT one] (Batman V.1 #455-457)
- Batman and Son (Batman V.1 #655-658)
Be sure to check out this week’s BatChat column, where we look at Detective Comics #1,052, The Joker #12, and The Batman/Scooby-Doo Mysteries #11.

Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of five. It was Who's Who in the DC Universe #2, featuring characters whose names begin with B, which explains so much about his Batman obsession. He writes about comics he loves, and co-hosts the creator interview podcast WMQ&A with Dan Grote.
Will Nevin loves bourbon and AP style and gets paid to teach one of those things. He is on Twitter far too often.
