I'll be the first to admit, I ain't the comic geek that I used to be, so I'm a little outta touch. But this is really itchin my grey matter. I know there is Dick Grayson, Jason Todd and Tim Drake. Then, there was Carrie Kelly (Dark Knight Returns) but then I hear that another girl wore the Robin suit? This is confusing.

Well, I'm not exactly a Guru myself but I do read virtually all Bat-books regularly.
The story is: Stephanie Brown AKA Spoiler became the fourth (in continuity) Robin sometime last year for a brief period of time due to Tim Drake's quiting. Spoiler was Tim's girl friend briefly before if I recall correctly?(at least good feind). She is also the daughter of low leval bat-villain the Cluemaster.
Stephanie/Spoiler is now deceased (without spoiling any elaborate or major details, thats about it).

So then Carrie Kelly is Robin 5? Man, this is confusing.

So So then Carrie Kelly is Robin 5? Man, this is confusing. More confusing then you think! you see although it doesn't have the little symbol DKR is an elseworld story as it is a possible future, but not THE future. This means: -it's possible she'd never be a cannon Robin, since there's a good chance she isn't *real* -if she is cannon there's a good chance Carrie isn't nessarily Robin 5, maybe Tim Drake quits again and we see a Robin 5, 6, etc. before Carry shows up. -Was there even a Tim Drake in the DKR timeline? I haven't read Dark Knight Strikes Again so I don't know if he shows up or not (I know he's not in DKR since Jason Todd was still around in the main books then)... if he doesn't then Carrie is only Robin 3 I call Carrie "DKR Robin" instead of a number to avoid such confusion |

No, Tim wasn't get created when DKR was done, so he's not mentioned.
I have to think that DKR is only a possible future for the pre-1994 or so Batman. Too many big events have occured with absolutely no ramification or mention in DKR.
There's only been 4 cannon Robins, as Baghead stated. I wouldn't include Carrie at all.
