Even DC is arguing that Tim Drake is better than Jason Todd

Any Bath-Family fan knows that the debate about the best Robin is a constant controversy. While DC hasn’t definitively answered who they think the best Boy Wonder is, they’ve at least knocked one former Robin out of the running. The revelation comes after the comic publisher argued that Tim Drake is better than Jason Todd, at least in one major area.

June Ba’s Black Label series returns with The Boy Wonder #3, continue the focus on Damian Wayne’s relationships with his brothers, as seen in the last two issues. The series spotlights Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, with the third installment diving into Damian’s dynamic with Tim and his ongoing investigation into a “Demon“Abducting the poor from Gotham City.

Issue #3 sees Damian confront the demon for the second time, but this time, instead of Red Hood at his side, Red Robin swoops in to save the day. During the duo’s team-up, DC makes a pointed comment about Tim being a better brother than Jason.

Robin initially confronts Roc, the demon, alone. However, it’s not long before Red Robin joins him, with Tim praising Damian for his efforts thus far, saying, “You stick with doing what’s right, even when it’s hard. I appreciate that.“In response to this heartfelt moment, Cancer thinks, “Oh, how sweet. Much more beautiful than the last brother I saw you with,“Took a pointed shot at Jason. This exchange clearly suggests that DC is portraying Tim as a better brother to Damian, especially considering Damian’s recent interaction with Jason.

in The Boy Wonder #2, Damian’s relationship with Jason takes center stage as the younger boy asks Red Hood for help in tracking down Rock to stop the abductions. However, instead of finding Rock, the demon finds them, leading to a chaotic battle that quickly reveals that Robin and Red Hood are outmatched. At one point, Rock doses Red Hood with a hallucinogenic, causing him to see the Joker. In his panic, Jason starts shooting and accidentally hits Damian. Although this was an accident, it makes it difficult to claim the best brother title.

Whether you think Tim or Jason is a better brother is up to personal opinion. However, in The Boy Wonder universe, Red Robin wins the title of best brother by default since he managed not to shoot Damian during their interaction. This is not to say that Jason would lose to Tim every time in the battle of who is the better brother to Damian.
