of The New Batman Adventures, the Joker and Harley Quinn kidnapped him while he was on solo patrol and over the course of three weeks tortured him to the point of insanity, transforming him into a miniature version of the Joker dubbed "Joker Jr." or "J.J". He was eventually found by Batman and Batgirl and ordered to kill them by Joker, but killed him instead before suffering a complete nervous breakdown. While Tim was able to recover with help from Leslie Thompkins, he was completely traumatized by the incident and retired from his role as Robin. By 2039, Tim became a communications engineer with a wife and two children and has become resentful of his past life and Bruce, though he keeps in touch with Barbara. However, Tim is unwittingly transformed into the Joker via stolen genetics technology embedded in his spine during his captivity. He is finally freed from Joker's control when the new Batman destroys the microchip and Tim is taken to the hospital to fully recover from his trauma. In the Justice League Unlimited episode "Epilogue", it is revealed that the technology with which Tim was brainwashed belonged to Project Cadmus and was presumably stolen by Joker off-screen. Tim Drake as Red Robin appears in Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts and Batman Unlimited: Monster Mayhem, voiced by Yuri Lowenthal. In the former, he is called "Red Robin" only once and by his original moniker every other time in Animal Instincts, but is consistently addressed by his new name during the latter. However, Alfred Pennyworth does once refer to him by his real name, confirming this version of the Red Robin is Tim Drake. He is mentioned but not seen in the sequel, Batman Unlimited: Mechs vs. Mutants, where Alfred says he left Gotham to lead his team. A young boy named Tim "Timmy" Drake appears in Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, voiced by Tara Strong. He and two other orphan boys, Dickie and Jason, try to rob a couple, but Batman stops them and defeats the Fagin-like a criminal who is ordering them to steal. A Feudal Japan version of Tim Drake / Red Robin appears in Batman Ninja, voiced by Kengo Kawanishi in Japanese and by Will Friedle in English. Tim appears in one of the alternate storylines of the interactive film Batman: Death in the Family, voiced by Nick Carson. In one end, he saves Jason Todd
