Even though I love Chris O'Donnell, and I think Burt Ward was totally awesome, I voted for Loren Lester. I love his voice as Robin, and I thought that he did a great job bringing Robin to life. He's just so totally awesome as Robin! cartoon version at least.

Guess I didn't pay as much attention to the credits as I should have....Now I know casey casum was from superfriends, chris did the movies, burt ward was the campy 60's, but could you fill me in on the other four?

I think most of the voice actors in the animated Batman world are phenomenal-

Loren Lester is just as much evidence to this as anyone. I love his portayal as Robin, so I picked him. :)

Well, i really can't decide between Loren Lester and Matt Valencia. LL brought a great life to Dick, and i really can't imagine anyone else doing a better job.

But i also really liked Tim's voice. I appreciated it even more after the Static Shock ep. Matt just sounds... right.

I voted for Matt, maybe because i think Dick was always more Nightwing. It was just spur of the moment though. :bosko:

I went with Loren. I really liked the cartoon and I will always consider his voice that of Dick Grayson... and Robin.

[TmlFroggy]

Burt Ward will always be Robin to me. had tp gp with Burt!!!

[M'ral]

ARGH! Loren Lester or Matthew Valencia...it took me forever to decide that one. Finally, Lester got my vote because he is just a terrific actor and, even though his version of Robin (one in a transitional period between adolescence and adulthood, dependent student and independent hero) was IMHO a more difficult role to play than the stereotypical young Robin, he always played both Robin and Nightwing perfectly. I still love Valencia as young Robin, he brought such life and you-gotta-smile spunk to the character, but Lester just had the harder job.

[Hypestyle]

obviously, Lester had better material to work with than any previous performer--

but I gave props to Ward for the most enduring portrayal in live-action..

Has to be Chris O'Donnell...from the moment you se him on the hire wire in Batman Forever....he just IS Dick Grayson.
He sparked my interest in Batman because...just look at him! I don't think I'll ever find anyone as attractive as I find him!
I've always wondered what Loren Lester looked like...anyone know?

My fav. actor as Robin isn't even on there! Who was the voice of Robin on the Dick Sprang segment of TNBA episode "Legends of the Dark Knight"? He was my favorite! :cool:

Here's a picture of him, probably 10 years out of date though:

I found the image at Two Face's Tower (http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Film/3580/Voices.html). That page has a ton of other images of other actors in the series.

My vote goes to Loren Lester-with Matthew Valencia not far behind. They both did great jobs voicing Robin.

[BeastBoyWonder]

it was close between loren and matt, but i had to go with loren. I grew up with the old Robin, and he's like my most favorite character EVER. It was such a treat to see him on the show...ahhh, the memories.

[G. Wen]

I think M. Valencia was the best Robin because I like the spunk he brought to the character.

[supermanpal]

Loren Lester because i like how he did the voice of Robin on Batman: The Animated Series.

[Barb Gordon]

Awesome to see that I'm not the only one that really liked Loren Lester. Chris O'Donnell would have been my second pic Alexandria Wayne, he's just so hot! He was my fav actor back in junior high and early high school. He really pulled the Robin act off well, even though the script was crap, among other things. Ever see Vertical Limit? Certainly wasnt a great movie, but in it, I thought that Chris looked a lot like how I would want him to be for an older Robin, beginning Nightwing. The longer hair really did it for me, not to mention that adorable grin of his. But, that's just me....
