"The whole point is being Robin. Batman needs Robin. Why do you think he makes us wear those lame colors? 'Cause we're drawing fire. "Look over here, assholes!" Then boom, the Bat lands and starts trashing ass."

—Jason Todd to Dick Grayson^[src]

The Robin suits are the protective suits that Dick Grayson and Jason Todd formerly wore, and Tim Drake currently wears, as the vigilante Robin.

History

Dick Grayson's Suit

Dick burns the Robin suit

"When you hide behind a mask for so long... it starts to give you a license to do things."

—Dick Grayson to Koriand'r^[src]

Leaving home, unbeknownst to Bruce, to help Hawk and Dove, Dick donned the suit. Four years later, despite having hung it up, he once again donned the suit to take down Tyler Hackett and found out the mysteries around Rachel Roth and the people who were trying to abduct her. After being mentally tortured and had a realization that he was blaming Bruce and Zucco for making himself into a monster Dick gave up the mantle for good and burned his Robin suit.

Jason Todd's Suit

After Dick left Gotham, Bruce came upon Jason Todd who was attempting to steal the Batmobile's hubcaps, Bruce saw potential within Jason, taking him on as the new Robin. Jason eventually received his own upgraded suit. While wearing the suit, it once protected Jason from an acid bullet shot by Nick Zucco.

Heading to Ohio to help save Rachel, Dick, and Gar, Jason donned his Robin suit. He later wore it again when he and Gar went to do reconnaissance on Dr. Light, but Jason was ultimately kidnapped.

After his death at the hands of the Joker and subsequent resurrection thanks to Jonathan Crane, Jason adopted a new name to oppose the Titans, Red Hood, as well as a new suit, leaving his Robin one behind.

Tim Drake's Suit

After joining the Titans, Tim was eager to become Robin and receive a suit, only to be shut down by Dick who reminded Tim that he had only just joined and still needed training.

Tim finally received his suit after being sent on a fake mission by Dick back to Gotham, believing he was supposed to find a man named "Venta" and bring back intel on Mother Mayhem. Tim wore the suit when confronting a group of thugs, proudly identifying himself as a friend of Dick Grayson, he fought them but had to be rescued by Red Hood who brought him to his base. After training with Jason, Tim appeared once more in the suit and was able to beat Shimmer's henchmen alone.

Capabilities

"So, what do you think of the new suit? Upgrades are pretty sick, right? The new tunic is made with Zylon fibers, six times stronger than Kevlar. Seriously, bro, you can hit me with a flamethrower from ten feet and I'd be like, "That's all you got?""

—Jason Todd to Dick Grayson^[src]

• Advanced Durability: Originally the durability of the first model was layered with Kevlar making it (bulletproof), however susceptible to flame as Dick Grayson burned it apart. While the second one Jason Todd wore was made of Zylon fibers (flame resistant), stronger than the previous material as it even withstood the trajectory from an acidic bullet, the third model most likely has extra inner padding as it protected Tim Drake in enduring attacks from multiple assailants and still remained active.
• Identity Concealment: The main purpose of the suit is to conceal Dick, Jason and Tim's identity.
• Briefcase: Dick, Jason and Tim store their suits in cases with fingerprint and retinal ID locks uniquely configured to each of them respectively.
• Bo-Staff: Dick and Tim used a bo staff when fighting crime. But later on while Dick was fighting the Nuclear Family the bo staff was broken into two. It is unknown if Jason has his own bo staff.
• Shuriken: Dick and Tim used specialized shuriken that are shaped in his Robin symbol. They were capable of penetrating concrete, making them strong weapons. One of them is R shaped and is installed as the symbol on his chest plate. It is unknown if Jason's suit has this function.
• Grappling Device: Dick used a technologically advanced grappling hook as part of his crime-fighting arsenal. The grapple line was strong enough to yank fully grown humans into the air, notably allowing him to separate enemies from their groups. As the device is primarily a traversal tool, Dick often used it to to scale buildings in mere minutes, if not seconds. It is most likely that Jason has this device as well.
• Smoke Bombs: Dick and Jason use smoke bombs when fighting crime, such as when Dick took down Tyler Hackett and a number of thugs and Jason saving Dick from six assassins.
