Tim Drake, operating as Red Robin, is transported alongside the Bat-Family to feudal Japan in the animated film. He is the third individual to assume the Robin mantle, following Jason Todd. Arriving in feudal Japan two years after the primary villains appear, he adapts by training with the Bat Clan of Hida. There, he masters ninja techniques alongside allies Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin (Damian Wayne).

He demonstrates keen tactical proficiency and leadership during the conflict against Gorilla Grodd and the villainous feudal lords. Notably, he coordinates with Damian Wayne's Robin to command an army of monkeys, using a specialized flute to direct them in battle. This effort culminates in the monkeys merging into a giant simian warrior during the climactic confrontation against the Joker's mechanized castle fortress.

His characterization emphasizes adaptability and strategic support within the team dynamic. He collaborates closely with the Bat Clan, who revere Batman as a prophesied figure, and participates in restoring historical continuity after defeating the villains. Following the conflict, he returns to the present day with the rest of the Bat-Family. His portrayal remains consistent with his established role as a skilled tactician and ally within the Bat-Family framework.
