Robin

"Titans, GO!"

- Robin

Robin (Richard "Dick" Grayson) is a main character in Teen Titans Go! He is voiced by Scott Menville

Bio
"Robin is the perfectionist leader of the group whose main complaint is that the other Titans won't do what he says."

As a young boy, Dick Grayson was orphaned by the tragic murder of his parents during a circus performance. The young orphan was adopted by Bruce Wayne, a millionaire buisness owner who lived a double life as the infamous crime figher, Batman. Bruce had also witnessed both of his own parents murder, so the two became very close.

When he grew older, Dick became Batman's sidekick, Robin, and spent many years helping him clean up the crime-filled streets of Gotham City. One day, Robin decided to strike out on his own, and become a solo hero. Robin decided to become the defender of Jump City. On one occasion, he, along with four other teenage superheroes, worked together to save the city. Because they worked so well together, they formed the Teen Titans, and Robin became leader.



Personality
As leader, he can be very bossy and is sometimes too obsessed with his work. He can get angry if the other Titans don't follow his orders. However, he can still be fun-loving and silly at times as well. Robin is shown to be rather emotionally unstable throughout the show. He often approached the other Titans in a frantic and troubled manner when he simply needed a ride somewhere in Driver's Ed. He also became furious, then very upset in Staff Meeting after the other Titans broke his beloved staff. He has an overhwelming crush on Starfire, which seems to border on psychotic at times. Robin has usually feel over shadow by his friends because they have powers which make everything easier for them and stronger leaving him to feel insecure, this was first shown in Driver's Ed when his friends were trying to warn him he thought they their to nag on him on how he can't drive and don't have powers. And this was mostly noted in the episodes Super Robin and No Power where he complains to the team how it isn't  fair how they use thier power in their own advantage while he have to do more of the work, and also feels useless in comparassion. Evenin the beginning of Starfire The Terrible he proclaims on Monday that they will be only allow to fight the villian using motorcycles but because he's the only one who has one he probably wanted it so he could the one to take down the bad guys with his strengths without his friends taking his limelight. But after taking down Cinderblock and as well getting powers in Super Robin he become arragent off of his own pride, but admits that he only wishes to accepted as a hero. Robin has shown to forget about morals to get want he wants like in The Date he kidnapped Speedy so he could date Starfire, and in Artful Dodgers Robin decided to cheat to win without feeling guilty. But despite his unstable emotions and selfish moments, Robin still comes through as smart, strong, driven and confident leader.

Starfire
Robin has a huge crush on Starfire and it is hinted that she loves him back, although it is unsure. This is the opposite way of how it was in the original Teen Titans, as Starfire had a crush on Robin. In The Date, she was willing to go on a date with him but had already agreed to go on one with Speedy. Robin decided to sabotage their date and, as a result, Starfire got mad at him and punched him for it, then left with the voice in Robin's head. Then in Hey Pizza!, Robin had the choice between building a senior center (for the unappreciated seniors) or building a community pool (to see Starfire in a bikini and rub sunscreen on her). His crush on her made him constantly go back and forth between wanting to build the senior center and the pool. In the end, he did the right thing and built the senior center, but Starfire decided to model the bikini for him anyways. The bikini ended up being for Silkie much to Robin's disgust. Overall, they seem to be good friends, but their romantic relationship hasn't evolved, at least not yet. At Comic-Con they showed an upcoming video showing that Robin and Starfire kissed but Starfire said that she loved Robin like "the brother", thus dissappointing and depressing Robin. In Matched, Robin asked Cyborg to make the Love Matcher 5000 because he wanted to prove he was a match for Starfire, but matching her with Aquaman instead, making him enraged. After finding out that Starfire is matched to Aquaman, he tries to be like Aquaman so he can win Starfire's heart, but instead making Starfire and Cyborg uncomfortable. In the end of the episode, he gives up, but still mad he wasn't matched with Starfire. But when Cyborg says his Love Matcher 5000 was faulty, he got his hopes up, thinking Aquaman isn't Starfire's match, but him. But later the Love Matcher 5000 matched Beast Boy and Starfire with a scratching post, making him so depressed, he cries with Aquaman. In Colors of Raven, Starfire and Robin are trying to catch Passion Raven, until they find her in a kissing booth. Robin attempts to lure Passion Raven to the prism by a kiss, but is pushed back by Starfire, hinting she likes Robin. In Starfire the Terrible when Robin was kissing the moon in a retroback, Starfire is seen behind him, sad, leaving us a second hint that she does indeed have feelings for the Boy Wonder. In Sidekick, when he sees Starfire in a Batgirl costume, he looks at her in awe for a few seconds before he snaps out of it and tells her to take it off but reverts back by her reply of the suit being too tight. In Nose Mouth, he has a dream about saving her from several villains as a super strong buff version of himself. in Breakfast Cheese, he desperately avoids looking at Starfire while she pouts, which hints he likes her but is afraid of revealing that to her and the other Titans.

In Be Mine he goes to the valentines dance with her. However, he seems heartbroken when she reveals that she loves him like a "brother".

Beast Boy
Robin gets along well with Beast Boy as they are very good friends yet earlier in the show they show to have a bit of a rivalry. Beast Boy reveals that he wants to be better than Robin at something in Dude Relax and eager to teach Robin, who in turn is eager to listen. However, he can also get highly frustrated with Beast Boy like in Gorilla when Beast Boy wouldn't listen to Robin at all, even overthrowing Robin as leader. Robin also didn't like his leadership because it was focused around "helping" monkeys and didn't do any good for anyone. Robin is able to retake his position as leader by tickling Beast Boy into submission. Everything seems to go relatively back to normal after that. It was brought back agian in No Power where Beast Boy agian showed an interest to be leader and shown an smug attitude toward Robin when showing that he and rest of the team is very as capable as him. In Girl's Night Out, the two enjoy a Boy's Night Out with Cyborg laughing with each other and agreeing to each other's every thought. In You're Fired!, Robin along with the other Titans fired Beast Boy from the Teen Titans. Later, Robin put him in the Teen Titans again as the new receptionist. In Caged Tiger Robin was annoyed with Beast Boy after being trapped in the elevator.

Raven
Despite their differences, Robin and Raven have a very good friendship and respect each other. As seen in the episode Laundry Day, they can still get very annoyed with each other very easily. Raven pointed out it was Robin's turn to do chores but Robin avoided it and made Raven do them. She got so annoyed with him that she pretended their clothes became possessed and attacked the Titans. As a result, Robin apologizes and was willing to do the laundry for a whole year if they got out of it. At that point, Raven accepts and stops the spell that possessed their clothes, tricking Robin. In Super Robin, Robin wanted superpowers, but Raven told him that they were a curse and she wasn't going to give them to him. However, then she said that if he did the chicken dance, she would grant him powers. Once he did the dance, Raven gave Robin the powers, still warning him that they are a curse. Many years later, once the Titans met old Robin, Raven goes in Robin's face and tells him again that having superpowers is a curse. In "Colors of Raven" Robin was frequently attacked and knocked around by Rage Raven. He was willing to kiss Passion Raven in order to capture her as well. He also seems to support her in being more open with herself as seen in Legs but they both agree that it's okay to let go every once in a while.

Cyborg
Robin and Cyborg are very good friends, and both use their own specially designed gadgets in battle. In Staff Meeting, Cyborg is shocked to find out that he is not actually Robin's best friend, but his staff actually is. The two tend to tease each other like brothers quite often, as seen in The Date, where Cyborg teases Robin for playing a "little girl game". Cyborg thinks Robin is very "cool", and enjoys hanging out with him. However, If the two spend too much time together, Cyborg will become very annoyed of him, as we saw in Power Moves . Cyborg for the most part respect Robin as a leader, but is not afraid to object to any order he doesn't like.

Terra
When Terra first arrived in "Terra-ized", Robin instantly became filled with excitement at the thought of a new titan member. He wasn't sure what to think of her at first, so before he would let her join, Robin decided to make her undergoe some tests. Robin became impressed with her and was excited to let her join.

Batman
Batman and Robin always had a father-son type relationship. The two were partners who fought crime together for many years, before Robin decided to become a solo hero. Robin is apparently afraid of Batman, though he brags about the fact that Batman trusts him. Like in the episode Sidekick when he is invited to the Batcave and becomes extremely paranoid with the other titans around to bother him. The two still keep in touch, as seen in Gorilla, where Batman attempts to call him and the other Titans, and in Driver's Ed, where Robin calls Batman to tell him he crashed the Batmobile. It appears that Batman is keeping an eye on him and the other Titans, as he is constantly visiting Jump City, and is even caught hiding in Titans Tower.

Batgirl
Robin and Batgirl are close friends. They both were Batman's sidekicks at one point. In various incarnations of DC Comics, Robin and Batgirl have dated. In Staring at the Future, we get a glimpse at the Titans' lives in 30 years. Robin and Batgirl have gotten married, and have a child. Robin says he is very happy with his life, and doesn't appear to have any feelings left for Starfire. This changes as Beast Boy and Cyborg travel back to their own time to alter history.

Speedy
Robin has been shown to have an intense rivalry with Speedy with them being similar in appearance, similar in voice, and both being former sidekicks of big time Justice League (Robin to Batman, Speedy to Green Arrow) heroes gone solo. This rivalry is further aggravated by the events of The Date. As shown in the episode, they both have affections for Starfire, and their rivalry makes it so that neither of them get to fulfill a date with Starfire, but in the original series they were friends.
