===Batman '89: Drake Winston===
In 2021, DC published ''[[Batman '89 (comic book)|Batman '89]]'', a limited series that served as a continuation of Tim Burton's Batman films ''[[Batman (1989 film)|Batman]]'' and ''[[Batman Returns]]'', ignoring the subsequent films ''[[Batman Forever]]'' (1995) and ''[[Batman & Robin (film)|Batman & Robin]]'' (1997), in which actor [[Michael Keaton]] did not appear following Burton's departure from the franchise. This series featured a new version of Robin named '''Drake Winston''' (whose appearance is inspired by [[Marlon Wayans]], who was originally attached to play the role in the Burton films).<ref>{{cite web |last1=Betancourt |first1=David |title=Tim Burton Never Got to Make More Batman Movies.

His ancestors had their own automotive company that was acquired by [[Bruce Wayne (1989 film series character)|Bruce Wayne's]] great-grandfather in a forced buyout. He strongly dislikes cops and authority figures and dresses up as a masked vigilante at night to help the residents of his neighborhood. He is initially distrustful of both Bruce Wayne and Batman, but after witnessing his dedication towards helping people and figuring out they are the same person, the two become partners and work together to stop Dent and arsonists terrorizing the city.<ref>''Batman '89'' Vol. 1 #1–6.
