Just out of curiosity, suppose Nightwing left Outsiders, or Batman left JLA. Could Robin the third, otherwise known as Timothy, join either team? Would he fit in?

What about the JSA? Or Legion of Superheroes?

Personally, I'd like to see him in JSA, but am not sure how he would fit, as they all seem to be legacy heroes, carrying on what someone else did before. What would Robin carry on?

Robin needs to hook up with the Ravers. They're probably all bummed that Superboy ditched their lame asses.

I had heard about that, but I really have no clue who the Ravers were. I heard they were a group of party animals S-boy hung around when he was doing a girl from Apokolips.

My first thought after hearing that was, "And they think Marvel is bad??"

Personally,I would like to see Robin join the Outsiders or the JSA, if it was possible(just the fanboy in me) would like to see Robin join Gen 13 or the Wildsiderz in WildStorm.

I only remember the broad strokes. There was some interdimensional hangout called "The Rave" where super-powered teens got together. Superboy got together with his own clique of five or six Ravers and I think there was something faintly sinister about the whole place, or something.

i don't think Robin is ready for the JLA, and the JSA focuses more on the 'heritage' of the DCU.

i think Robin fit in most in Young Justice where he could be the leader, but i suppose he's still pretty effective in the Titans

I think Robin should remain on the Titans, but also participate in JLA adventures with Batman. It worked on Super Friends.

I think Robin should hang up the tights and go into real law enforcement, streamlining and improving the current system. Not being a cop by day an a vigilante by night ala Nightwing mind you, a full time focus on making the national/international agency he joins (Checkmate, Task Force X, Suicide Squad, DEO, NSA, take a pick) the best at what it does in aiding and/or controlling metahumans.

Not that I dislike Tim Drake as Robin mind you, far from it. He's by far my favorite character. But Tim is supposed to have so many other abilities, from possibly being a greater detective than Batman to having damn fine computer skills (not Oracle as I understand it but still a damn good understanding) to being a good leader. Skills that are just as important as his physical abilities but aren't focused on at all in his current series or in the Teen Titans.

Plus I'd like a superhero to join the agencies who was one of their own. How would Wonder Girl/Superboy/Kid Flash act in a few years if they discovered that one of the agencies supporting some mildly unethical science was run by Drake? I think that'd be cool.

Oh, and Batman needs a new Robin as an excuse to get out of dickish mode and Tim's reaching around 18, prime replacement time.

Well, I think that Nightwing will be joining the new JL very soon considering that they are recruiting and he's out of the Outsiders. Batman is out of the JL and I wouldn't be suprised if he's put out of fighting altogether for a while during IC. That leaves Tim. I don't see him fitting in as an Outsider personally. He's a Teen and a Titan - Hence being a Teen Titan is much more likely :P
