I feel like people who say this don't realise just how short Jason's tenure as Robin was. He was introduced in Batman 408 and died in Batman 428. That's only 20 issues! And yet people still count him as an official Robin and dismiss Steph. Doesn't make sense.

The thing is, Jason had (and still has, to the other characters) a much greater impact as Robin than he will ever have as Red Hood. For Steph, she has a much greater impact as Batgirl and as Spoiler than she ever had as Robin (she wasn't even on Tim's shortlist for resucetion when they thought she was dead).

I'm not saying her time as Robin didn't exist, it's just fairly unimportant and uninteresting compared to everything else about her.

There were also about 20 issues of Detective Comics. That's 40 issues to Stephanie's five, and even those were forced by editorial in order to make Stephanie's eventual death-by-personal-failings more dramatic.

And I agree with the commenter above that Jason had a bigger impact as Robin (than both Steph as Robin and Jason as Red Hood) and certainly a much, much bigger impact as Robin that Stephanie did during her short tenure which was a ruse built around "putting her there" as opposed to Batman choosing Jason.

In the end, Batman and 'Tec are always all about Batman, and while Jason (as Robin, and certainly not as Red Hood) had an enormous and terrible impact on Batman, Stephanie absolutely did not have much to do with Batman at all. It was and has always been all about Stephanie, and her plot device of triggering the crossover epic War Games. And yet being Robin is all about "Robin"-ness (Stephanie doesn't cut it on that) and even moreso about "Batman". (Again, Stephanie just doesn't fit there.)
