Dick Grayson was Batman ’s first Robin , setting the degree for the type of teamwork and chumminess that would define the Robin mantle for his successor . Jason , Batman ’s second Robin , was radically different from Dick in terms of both personality and backdrop , which presented additional obstruction for Batman during their partnership . For this reason , somefans were vocally unsupportive of Jason as a Robinduring the 1980s .
The master affair that Jason Todd ’s Robin was criticise for is his impulsive nature and tendency to jump headfirst into a dangerous place , something Batman repeatedly chastised him for . This view of Jason ’s personality has run out over into his life as Red Hood .

In this direction , Nightwing prove thathis Robin and Jason Todd’sweren’t all that dissimilar when it come down to their canonic inherent aptitude : they just are unable to watch people get hurt . While Jason ’s impulsiveness finally got him killed , it ca n’t altogether be written off as a bad Robin trait because it is one Dick also exhibited .
