Klappentext

Chuck Dixon (Detective Comics) and a powerhouse roster of artists chart Tim Drake’s evolution in a period defined by intense action and shifting alliances. This is the era where Tim Drake becomes not just Batman’s partner—but a hero entirely his own.

Fresh off the events collected in Robin: Tim Drake Compendium One, Tim steps into challenges that push every skill he’s learned—combat discipline, detective work, and emotional resilience—to new extremes. As the stakes rise across the city, Robin finds himself at the center of escalating conflicts that test his judgment and sharpen his instincts.

This volume brings together Tim’s most defining early adventures, primarily written by Chuck Dixon and drawn by an all-star lineup of artists including Tom Grummett (Robin, Superboy), Mike Wieringo (The Flash), and Phil Jimenez (The Invisibles, Wonder Woman). Crime wars erupt across Gotham’s neighborhoods, global threats spill into local streets, and city-wide crises draw heroes from every corner of the Bat-Family. As Tim navigates alliances with Huntress, Catwoman, Nightwing, and Oracle, he must claim his identity not just as Batman’s partner—but as a hero in his own right.
