I liked the older versions of the Titans. They looked a lot closer to their comic book designs. This week's episode was great.
I don't know about next week's, though. After seeing the preview, it just looks...well...

On second thought, Dick Drake doesn't sound too bad, if you don't dwell too long on the connotations of both names ("Long Duck Dong" comes to mind... *snicker*)... And Tim Todd has that DC-styled "my last name is also a first name" thing going for it (ie: Bruce Wayne... Clark Kent...)...
...though you gotta admit, Jason Grayson is a crime against all humanity... it freakin' rhymes!!
bwahahahaha!!

Kalma referred to it as a "disaster." How is guessing someone's name a disaster? That was what threw me off track.

Hi everyone!
Glen Murakami here, the producer of the hit series Teen Titans!
Well, it looks like theres been a lot of discussion about which Robin appears in Teen Titans and I have the answer to that question right here!
You see, Robin in Teen Titans was originally meant to be Tim Drake becuase it would all make sense. Many of you have brought up that in Static Shock, there has been a conversation between Batman and Static and Batman tells Static that Robin is a Titan now. At that time, Robin was Tim Drake.
Later, when production began, we wanted to add some romance in the show too. Not too much because the show was rated Y7, but we felt that we had too add some relationship between Robin and Starfire. After looking into Titan history, we found that Dick Grayson had a relationship with Starfire a.k.a. Kory in the comics. So, we decided to change Robin from Tim to Dick.
But, we didn't want to keep Robin Dick for some reasons:
Dick's fighting style was 'acrobatic', nothing like what we had in mind for Robin in Teen Titans.
Dick's personality was nothing like the Robin we wanted in Teen Titans.
The show would mess up the timeline with Batman: The Animated Series and Static Shock, as well as many other shows.
We realized that if we wanted a relationship with Robin and Starfire in the show, we would have to make Dick Grayson Robin. But we also realized that this would ruin our plans for what Robin would act like and his fighting style.
Finally, we came across a decision. We decided to take the best aspects from Tim Drake and Dick Grayson and form a whole new Robin. At first, this didn't sound like a good idea, but we later got into the idea very much.
Tim Drake's aspects for Robin in Teen Titans were:
Tim's personality
Tim's fighting style, that similar to Batman's.
Tim's looks from Batman: The Animated Series.
Dick Grayson's aspects for Robin in Teen Titans were:
Dick's relationship with Starfire in the comics.
Dick's costume from The Adventures of Batman and Robin.
Dick's decision to turn into Nightwing in Batman: The Animated Series. (We knew we wanted to do an episode in which one of the Titans would travel into the future and meet the future Titans. Nightwing sounded like a good idea for a future Robin.)
So, in conclusion, the Robin in Teen Titans turned out to be a combination of Tim and Dick. It's not just Tim, or its not just Dick.(Even thought some people seem to think it is.) It's both of them.
Hope thats not too long of a post or not too confusing. Till nextime, Titans fans!
Thanks to the truffle pig for finding this. This answers the question finally

Actually, on second thought, "Tim Drakeson" sounds good too...
