Sorry Robin, you don’t surpass the master today...

[Venom 2009]

How about instead of Batman and Red Robin fighting each other, they compete on who can beat the most Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire members?

Pretty sure Batman wins that as well. There's not a point where Robin could surpass Batman.

Tim Drake is my favorite of the Robins. He's as smart as Batman (maybe smarter in terms of brainpower) and has the skills to keep up with some of Batman's greatest foes. Both of them will be out of their element here, but Tim will likely figure out how to survive more effectively. If Tim can manipulate the environment and get the jump on Batman, I could see Batman losing for sure.

Oh come on, how is this fair?  

Tim might have a slight chance

Excellent point! Ra's Al Ghul even called Tim Drake 'Detective'

Tim is definitely the smartest of the Robins and around the same as Bruce but I feel I should point out him trying to jump Batman in combat would not go so well for him. Tom King, who's been one of the major recent writers for DC in both the Batman run as well as the Detective Comics run and others of the Gotham heroes, ranked the Bat family as such in pure combat skills: https://twitter.com/TomKingTK/status/833702769487917057

Giving Nightwing his due respect, I like it. Don't know much about Cassandra though, is she that good?

To this day, I'm still curious as to how Dick became a better fighter than Bruce. Bruce, after all, knows more fighting styles and has more experience than Dick. 

But yeah, Bruce should be able to handle Tim in this scenario.

I always assumed it was because he's always been really fast/quick, and he's younger

Yeah, her skill and body reading ability are top notch, regularly holds her own/beats those established to be close to the top of martial arts skills. Bruce himself also describes her like

Yeah as said, I believe it has to do with his superior agility and acrobatics as well as being quicker/younger plus being the first of his protégés and having the time to learn the most compared to other Robins.

I believe this would be a very close match but I would have to give it to Batman yes I'll admit that Dick Grayson would be a little more sprayer then Batman would be however in terms of manipulating the situation I would have to give it to Batman

Um ... I'm pretty sure the version of Red Hood being used here is Tim Drake.
