The character was introduced as a happy medium between the first two Robins in that, from the readers' point of view, he is neither overly well-behaved like Dick Grayson nor overly impudent like Jason Todd. Tim Drake is the first Robin to have his own comic book series, where he fought crime on his own. Tim Drake, as Robin, co-founded the superhero team Young Justice in the absence of the Teen Titans of Dick Grayson's generation, but would then later re-form the Teen Titans after Young Justice disbanded following a massive "sidekick crossover" during which Donna Troy was killed. Tim served as leader of this version of the Titans until 2009, at which point he quit due to the events of "Batman R.I.P."
