Description
There are a few questions I ask myself about the Teen Titans. First off how do a bunch of teenagers (granted teenagers with great skills) get the money to live in a giant 'T' on a nice beach front location like they have? Also how do said teenagers pay for all the neat toys, gadgets, and food that they enjoy? And why is the only team member with out some form of super powers in command as leader? There is only one logical explaination, and that is that Bruce Wayne has got to be footing the bill! Not to say that Robin isn't a great super hero in his own right and a good leader, but at least you have to wonder who pays for all this stuff. So I ask myself why does Bruce go to all the trouble? I say it is clearly out of fear! With the new anime style sensation swiping up the cartoon industry... Bruce was too afraid that he would not get to do things the way he always has. Robin was turning far to upbeat for Bruce's style. Bruce just wants to be all dark, mysterious and angsty in his little cave without his misery being disturbed. So he funded the whole Teen Titans project and Robin exchanged his nocturnal lifestyle in Gotham for some healthy sunshine on what appears to be the West coast. Hmm, while I'm at it...hey Robin what's with the constant wear? I mean don't you let your secret identity out for air everyone once in a while? Even Bruce doesn't sleep in his costume! Well this comic is how I thought the Teen Titans came to be, and just so you guys know...I am well aware that the original Teen Titans' Robin was Dick Grayson, but going along with the cartoon continuity at this point of the game it makes more sense to me that this Robin be Tim Drake. I mean the original Nightwing could always hand over his costume to Tim in the future, right? So I hope you peoples enjoy this little farce.Related content

And after hearing the story Raven's in the background texting Batman to ask if he'd like a new sidekick...

Hmm, an interesting theory. It would make sense that the Bats would be supporting the Titans in some way. That Tower is too huge for 5 super powered teens without jobs to support without any outside help. Plus, I can see Batman trying to get rid of Tim like that.

The comic is funny, I like it.
Now, I know that Teen Titans Robin being Dick Grayson doesn't exactly fit with the continuity, but it IS him. On the Larry episode, y'know when he says his really long gibberish name, it's really Dick Grayson spelled backwards, 'Nosyarg kcid'. Then with 'Haunted' when Raven goes into his mind you see his parents falling from the trapeze.
*whew* Just had to get that outta my system.

Okay, sorry to rant, your comic was funny, but I have to say this.
THERE IS DEFINITIVE EVIDENCE THAT THE TEEN TITANS ROBIN IN THE ANIMATED SERIES IS DICK GRAYSON.
There I said it. I will now back up my thesis with evidence.
One: In "Haunted", when Raven goes inside his mind, you see two sihouettes of acrobats falling, which reflects Dick Grayson's parents' deaths.
Two: In "Fractured" when Larry comes about, he introduces himself as "Nosyarg Kcid" (Look in the background, the words are there), which is Dick Grayson backwards, obviously.
There's more, but I can't really think of anything right now. The animated series timeline is really screwed up, so I can see where you're coming from. But this sort of thing really peeves me. No disrespect, I just have to speak out.

I had not seen every episode of teen titans when I drew this I was a just starting off fan of Titans. So forgive my ignorance at the time. After 3 years or so I am now educated. Why do people feel they always have to tell you these things when the art piece is so old? ... If you read my comments you would see that others have corrected me years ago.

*Looks at comments*
OMFG I'm so sorry! I didn't realize it. I feel so ashamed for flaming you now. Please forgive me? Its one of my pet peeves, this whole Teen Titans Robin business. I tend to fly a little off the handle when I'm faced with it.
Your comic made me laugh for a long time, just FYI.
MOON PRISM POWER! xD Yes, Tim would like Sailor Moon.

If you're part of the Wayne dynasty (even rather loosely) you have the money to do WTH you like within legal parameters of course.

holy shit! he's watching sailor moon! lol. this is great

You know I heard one time he was suppose to be a cross between the two Robins, Dick and Tim. You know Tim's appearance with Dick's personality? When I first saw him I was certain it was Tim. And I was like 'it's about time they made him grow up!'
But after seeing Fractured, yeah that was perhaps the most blantant clue of them all. I mean they literally spell it out for us. Plus, in the comics Starfire fell for Dick not Tim. Tim was probably in diapers when she came to Earth. Not that I'm completley against the idea. I even heard some assumptions that it was Jason.

Actually, Cyborg is rich and his father or someone built the tower for him. I can't remember the specifics though.
Poor Batman... I cry for him, really I do.
lol

Yeah but at the time I drew this I didn't have as vast a knowledge of Teen Titan as I do now. When I found out I was like "oopsie, ah well"

Well, Nightwing wasn't the only hint that the TTAS Robin was Dick and not Tim... for example, there was a quick clue in the episode "Haunted" and issue #47 of "Teen Titans Go!" based on the TV series pretty much spelled it out in bold letters. Besides, I thought Tim was going to take on Batman's name when he grew up...? That's just what I read on Wiki, anyway.
On another note, YOU ARE AMAZING! xDD Two thumbs way up for your incredible art and humor skills. 8D Favorited!

cool..I would think Bruce Wayne aka Batman would have a incentive to fund Robin-Robin's his adopted son.

You know, they did actually alude to the show's Robin being Dick Grayson in the episode "Fractured", when Robin's inter-dimensional copy was named Nosyarg Kcid (Dick Grayson backwards). ^_^
Yes, I watch too much Teen Titans.

Yeah, seriously, why does he never take his mask off? You'd think it would get sweaty under there or something...
Like those forehead bands in Naruto! I mean, you're jumping and fighting all over the place, most of the time in hot weather, it has to get overheated in there!
-cough- Okay, I'm done.

I was watching the episode "Fractured" and when Larry says his wierd name you see big letters in the backround saying Dick Grayson

Never saw that epsiode before making this and in fact I had little knowledge about Teen Titans then. Still if you want to go with the TV continuity Tim Drake would be the only Robin that age now.

At last someone who thinks that robin is Tim...I mean he acts like Tim...he doesn't act like Dick and I'm sure that Nightwing would hand the mask down to his little bro...love your idea...

That's a pretty interesting theory, I think.... But, uh, going with the stuff they've put in the cartoon, it makes a lot more sense that it was Dick Grayson in the cartoon. Though, that may be how Tim Drake gets put on the team....
But you know that Bruce is footing that bill. No way anybody else could pay for all that crap they have. Wow. I really am a geek.

XD lol too bad thats the wrong Robin. the teen Titan's Robin is Dick Grayson and the one in the red outfit is Tim Drake.

THANK YOU!
Someone else who gets that the Teen Titans Robin isn't Dick Grayson, but Tim Drake!

Actually, in the comics, I think they were funded by Cyborg's dad.
I like your theory better. Tis funny.

Though I love Robin posing in the first panel I can't believe he would act like that and make Batman send him away.

...and this was all because Robin was watching "Sailor Moon". Tee hee, Batman snapped the batterange. I loved reading this. ^_^

heehee funny, but if youve read some of the comics (ive only read like 4) by DC Comics you see that the city pays for the tower as long as they keep saving the city.
