Batman carries a well-deserved reputation for burning through sidekicks faster than Batmobile tires, and while Dick Grayson remains the most famous Robin, numerous others have held that title. Following Grayson, Jason Todd and Tim Drake in mainline DC continuity is Damian Wayne, Batman's biological son.
Damian Wayne is the only son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul, and the only grandson of Ra's al Ghul. The character was created by Mike W. Barr, and first appeared in Batman: Son of the Demon (1987).
Robin is the alias of several superheroes appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was originally created by Bob Kane, Bill Finger, and Jerry Robinson, to serve as a junior counterpart and the sidekick to the superhero Batman.
A subsequent conversation between Tim and Alfred implies that Batman has carried out a DNA test on Damian. Alfred says Bruce intended to tell him the results when the time was right. At this, Tim realizes that Damian is indeed Bruce's son, and exclaims "The son of Satan is my brother?"
One of the mysteries in director Todd Phillips' Joker is whether Arthur Fleck really is the son of Thomas Wayne as his mother Penny Fleck claimed. Both Wayne himself and Alfred Pennyworth said it was untrue and that Penny was delusional, hence her eventual stay in Arkham Asylum.
One clandestine evening, Bruce Wayne watches the Flying Graysons die before him. Recognizing the same pain he felt as a boy, Bruce adopts Dick Grayson as his ward. Bruce soon after begins to train Dick as his Robin, both to help the boy overcome his grief and to fill a parental void in Bruce's life.
No, none of the Robins are biologically related to Joker. In comics, Joker has never been shown to have any relation to Richard Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Damian Wayne, Carrie Kelly, or Matthew McGinnis. However in the DCAU, Joker did kidnap Tim Drake and turn him into a Joker Jr.
The reason for this seems to be that most filmmakers misunderstand Robin's role in Batman's supporting cast. Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan were vocally uninterested in including Robin in their films, feeling that Batman is more of a loner.
The only reason Batman was able to overcome these problems with Robin was thanks to his wealth and position. This discussion neatly updates a frequent plot obstacle in the Silver Age of Comics. At that time, single parents were not usually allowed to adopt.
Warning: Spoilers for Justice Society of America #5The long-lost daughter of Batman, Helena Wayne's Huntress is finally returning to the main canon of the DC Universe.

Wayne violently asserts that he is not Arthur's father as soon as Arthur introduces himself, and point-blank tells Arthur that he was adopted and that Penny Fleck had been committed because of her delusional belief there was something between her and Wayne.
The son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul, Damian Wayne was born to a life of adventure, but he struggles daily against the lesser angels of his nature. It's not often that something takes Batman by surprise.
With false implanted memories in his head, Dick Grayson becomes the Son of Joker, and it looks as though he just got a pretty gross inheritance in Red Hood and the Outlaws #48.
Warning! Contains Spoilers For Lazarus Planet: Omega! Batman has trained many young heroes as Robin, and while they have all been impressive on their own, DC just confirmed that one stands above the others in terms of power: Damian Wayne is the most powerful Robin.
Jason was thrust into the world of heroes and villains by Batman. If he were to kill the Joker, Batman would feel a level of responsibility for that. Also, a major theme of Batman, in virtually any medium, is guilt. Batman doesn't want Jason to have to bear the guilt of killing the Joker.
In the movie, much like in the comic that inspired it, we learn that Bruce has taken in three very different orphan children, who assist him on his travels and with his studies. They're not Robins, and that's not exactly unusual—Bruce's children aren't always Robins.
As a young man, he retires as Robin and takes on his own superhero identity, becoming "Nightwing". As Nightwing, he continues to lead the Teen Titans, the Titans, and later, the Outsiders.
