This chapter is the presentation of the Tim Drake's character and how he gets to become Robin. I just saw in the IMDb Trivia Facts, that this incarnation of Tim was planned as a mix of both Tim himself, and Jason Todd, the one who used the Robin's costume (in the comic) before him.
Nevertheless, for me , he is also a synthesis (or at least a mix) of the abilities and personalities of the all the three most important Robins from the comic book: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd and, again, Tim Drake himself; having the natural coordination of the first one, the bad habits of the second one, (including "borrowing" other people's properties) and the intelligence and initiative of the third one. This little kid was quick to impress Batman but also to get him upset. This chapter also featured the return of Dick Grayson to be part of this set of adventures.
During the episode we get to know this version of Tim as the son of a man who used to make deals with Two-Face and as kid that steals but, unlike Jason Todd, he only steals donuts, bread and the necessary things to stay alive while his father returns.
Now, same as his Tim Drake counterpart in the comic, he initiates his career by helping the cape crusader, in this case, helping him not to get drowned and to get back safely to the Batcave (also funnily waving at Alfred when they arrive). Seemed to be a winner from the start, but this version of Robin eh.. do you remember that I just told you that he only stole for food??? well I have to retract on that one!
