    Because it says "EX-Robin" and even though he's now dead, he's still just a Robin.

    How can he be Robin if he's dead? That makes no sense. He is no longer Robin,no one is.

    Meh okay....the OP probably means "EX-Robin" as in has graduated into another role. Damien never graduated into something passed Robin. So he's still just considered a Robin.

    I voted Nightwing, because I'm interpreting this question as who is my favorite. But if we are talking straight up cool, I think Jason Todd would be the winner. Nothing cooler than the bad boys.

    They all have their moments, but Dick Grayson stands above the rest in my opinion. He's displayed some pretty awesome physical and intellectual feats, and I think his story arcs were much more interesting than the others'. Although in their defense, the other ex-robins don't have as many solo titles as Nightwing does.

    Dick Grayson is my favorite of the ex-Robins. He's just so similar to Batman in some ways, and yet so different. To me, he's basically like a version of Batman that has become more at peace with his parents' deaths and more at peace with himself.

    Tim Drake would probably be my second choice. I really liked what they were doing with his character in the Red Robin comic before the New 52. I've heard that his personality has changed drastically since the reboot, but I haven't read any stories featuring him yet, so I'll reserve judgement until I do.

    Though she's not listed in the poll, Stephanie Brown would probably be third. I really enjoyed her run as Batgirl. Her spunky and upbeat attitude made that book a really fun read. I wish they had brought her into the New 52 in some shape or form (perhaps as Spoiler, as I'm really enjoying what I've read of the current run of Batgirl, with Babs back behind the cowl).

    I really like the stories that I've seen and read with Red Hood, but he's the one I'm least familiar with out of all these characters. I'm mostly familiar with him from the animated movie Batman: Under the Hood, which is one of my favorites from that line of animated comic book movies they've been releasing. Apart from that, the only other story to feature him that I've read is the 2 or 3 parter of Batman and Robin that Judd Winick wrote a few months before the New 52, which was a good read as I recall. But yeah, he's only last because he's the one I'm least familiar with.
