Robin (real name: Dick Grayson) is the main anti-heroic protagonist of the show Teen Titans Go! series. The character is an even more liberally adapted version of the character Nightwing, from previous Robin animated show, Teen Titans. As the team leader of the Teen Titans, Robin unsuccessfully tries to keep his teammates focused on their duties.
He is voiced by Scott Menville, who also voiced Robin (Teen Titans 2003) from the original Teen Titans series and Jake Armstrong from Stretch Armstrong and Flex Fighters.
Personality[]
Robin enjoys being the team leader ans is willing to do anything to ensure his position remains the same, such as in Money Grandma where he runs a smear campaign against the others to ensure he is voted leader again. He can be very bossy and is often too obsessed over his work. He is easily angered if the other Titans ignore or even question his orders. However, he can still be fun-loving and silly at times, although he is not very funny and tells really terrible jokers.
Robin is shown to be rather emotionally unstable throughout the series. He has often approached the other Titans in a frantic and troubled manner when he simply needed a ride somewhere in Driver's Ed. He sometimes borders on multiple personality Disorder, as he became furious, then very upset in Staff Meeting after the other Titans broke his beloved staff and called it a stick, which he can hear talking to him in his head.
In "Uncle Jokers", Robin is shown as having a need for the status quo in the Titans' relationships to remain. The chage in the group dynamic causes Robin to go off kilter and develop split personalities based on his teammates.
He has an overwhelming crush on Starfire, which seems to border on obsessive at times. Robin usually feels overshadowed by his friends because they powers which makes everything easier for them, leaving him to feel insecure. This was first show in Driver's Ed when his friends were trying to warn him and he thought they were trying to nag on him about how he can't drive and doesn't have powers. This was mostly notevolmente in the episodes Super Robin and No Power where he complains to the team how it isn't fair how they use their powers to their own advantage, while he has to do more work and feels useless in comparison.
Despite his unstable emotions and selfish moments, Robin still comes through as a smart, strong, driver, and confident leader.
Trivia[]
