Did Barbara, Dick or Tim have any friends?


Im just wondering if Barbara, dick or tim had any friends or a social life in batman tas, I mean did they do anything else when they were not busy helping batman out? Yes helping batman out IS important, but it's not like they were with him ALL the time, batman only called them when he needed them right? I know in batman beyond it definitely focuses on terry's social life and him going to school and his family life.

Barbara had a roommate in Sub Zero and she was friends wit Kara( Supergirl) in the late 90's revamp with Superman: TAS.

Pretty stupid question. They are minor characters in a show about Batman fighting crime, and we don't really have any interest in seeing them outside of that context. Might as well ask if Jimmy Olsen from Superman TAS has a life, since we only ever see him at the Daily Planet. Hell, you could say this about the majority of characters in these cartoons.

A lot of them were involved in other super teams according yo comics, so its possible. especially tim who led teen titans while he was robin. And i lways thought Barbaras character was more interesting as Oracle. And always found Nightwing kinda boring he had the physical skills but not really Batmans brain.

Too bad we never saw the Tim Drake version of the team like Batman mentioned during his appearance on Static Shock. I wonder what led WB/DC to doing the version of the show we got over the one that would have been set in the DCAU.

I believe they showed one of Dick's friends in the episode "Fear of Victory"
