Here's what we got so far:
Spoiler: FIRED
Tim: QUIT
Jason Todd: DEAD
D.ick: Wants to stay as Nightwing
So who do you think should be the next Robin, if they were going to make a new Robin?
It's be nice if they tried to work Carrie Kelly in the series and make her an official Robin. She was great in the Dark Knight Returns as Robin.

Tim hasn't quit. He's sticking with the Robin gig and apparently moving to Bludhaven and not going to school, which I think is a really dumbass idea, but I'm not an editor at DC. Yet...

If you're asking "If Tim didn't come back..." I'd say have Alfred be Robin. And not even have a custom fitted suit, he should just squeeze into Dick's old outfit... wouldn't that be a sight to see? :p :D :p
Or maybe Batman should host his own reality show, like the "Apprentice." It can be called... "The Apprentice." :rolleyes: Just have some random kids try out, put them through some silly tasks, and those who fail at the end of the day get fired... or beaten to death by the Joker or Black Mask. The winner not only gets to be Robin for a year, the winner will also win a million dollars from Bruce's personal fund.
But really, I don't think their are any eligible kids around suited to play Robin at the moment. To satisfy Tim fans out there, whoever plays a new Robin would have some really big shoes to fill.

I have a rabbit. Periodically, he'll chew through an electrical cord and shock himself. And by periodically, I mean three times a week.
Anyhow, this Robin business makes one wonder how he'll get to Titans Tower every weekend. I guess Raven'll teleport him...

maybe he should try just once... just once, to go the reality show route to get his next robin.. just to shake things up.

Howdy,

If DC had the intestinal fortitude to actually do this, I think I'd have to buy it on general principle.
Bwah-hah-hah-hah-hah!!

Actually...
Spoiler's dead. which makes me dance with joy.
And I've heard that Tim is moving to Bludhaven to live with Dick. I think that is an excellent idea, but if he's living alone... That's a step too far.
Honestly, Tim should either stay with Dick, Bruce, or live at Titan's Tower (my least favorite option). I'd hate to see him live with his step-mom... Wish she'd never been written in.

Beyond Batman - That's hilarious man. :anime: The thought of that is very funny. ;)
randomguy - LOL! Naw, rabbit's would still be too smart to run Marvel as it is right now. I think.....some amobea's or something have gotten loose up there. Yeah, amobeas. ;)
Reirden - Actually, I have to disagree with you. I think Tim moving to Bludhaven is a terrible idea. Either he's living by himself which is stupid or....he's Dick sidekick now. :p Take your pick.

Spoiler died? Nice.
I should read Bat books more often, but she and the mediocre writing were getting on my nerves.

Spoiler is some superhero poser from the suburbs who became Tim's girlfriend. She was Robin for a brief period, but screwed it up due to "War Games", and because she couldn't help being depressingly whorish for attention. Her dad's also associated with underground criminal activity.
