Robin is one of the non-playable characters in LEGO Dimensions, from the DC Comics franchise.
Background
Tim Drake was at the circus the day the Flying Graysons were murdered.
When Tim was nine years old, he stumbled upon Batman and Robin fighting The Penguin and recognized Robin as Dick Grayson when he saw him perform a complex acrobatic move. He deduced Batman's identity as Dick's adoptive father, Bruce Wayne, and began watching them from afar.
After Jason Todd died, he approached Dick, now Nightwing, and tried to convince him to become Robin again. Nightwing refused, but took him to Batman so that Tim could be Robin. Batman wasn't happy with the idea of training Tim, but Nightwing and Alfred convinced him.
After assisting in the defeat of Scarecrow, Batman finally deemed Tim was ready to fulfill his role as the new Robin.
Robin is depicted as having rivalries with villains such as The Penguin and Two-Face (according to Standing Small and LEGO Magazine, respectively). Robin often works with The Spoiler.
Robin also became a member, and eventually leader, of the Teen Titans.
Dimensions Crisis
Robin was one of three characters (the other two being Frodo Baggins and MetalBeard) taken away through a portal by Lord Vortech, prompting Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle to begin traveling through the LEGO Multiverse to find them.
He and Batman were chasing after Bane in Gotham City, when the latter shot green shards of Kryptonite at the Dynamic Duo and Robin got a sample, asking Batman why Bane would need a ton of Kryptonite in the first place. As they were about to cross the bridge, Robin's Red Bird Cycle went out of control, alarming Batman and sucking Robin into a mysterious blue portal. Later, he was held prisoner by Lord Vortech together with a couple of characters, like Frodo and MetalBeard.
Lord Vortech then uses Robin, Frodo, and MetalBeard to create The Tri.
Trivia
