Robin in 76034 is the same Robin as the one in 76035 according to this comic

The Robin in 76034 The Batboat Harbor Pursuit is supposed to be the New 52 Dick Grayson Robin. The Robin in 76035 Jokerland is supposed to be the Robin from Teen Titans, who is also Dick Grayson, according to this image, which verifies that the characters in 76035 are from the Teen Titans show (source: LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Character Encyclopedia). But then LEGO.com comes along and destroys the "continuity" of sorts by posting another most-likely-erroneous biography on its site claiming that the Robin in 76305 is Damian Wayne.

LEGO Batman games

LEGO Batman: The Videogame

Tim Drake is Robin in LEGO Batman: The Videogame. Dick Grayson is in the games as Nightwing, and in the portable versions, he is available as his civilian identity; he is able to perform some of Robin's abilities.

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

LEGO Batman 2 is the sequel to LEGO Batman: The Videogame. So in early 2012 a promotional page for the game was put up, claiming that the Robin in the game was Tim Drake. Another biography can be found by clicking Robin's picture, [which also claims that Tim Drake is Robin. The Robin in the game was identical to the one that appeared in Super Heroes sets from 2011-2012, which was Tim Drake, save for one difference: the cape wasn't a black Batman cape, but a normal, black cape. But then the release date of the game came near, and the page changed to say that Dick Grayson was Robin in the game. And the other biography was also updated as well, saying that Dick Grayson is Robin. And the game labels Robin's alter ego as Dick Grayson, who is also a playable character. His costume emulates Tim Drake's Robin costume, the one he wore after Superboy died. So this would logically make this Robin Tim Drake. And Dick Grayson is only in the portable version as Nightwing. Nightwing is in the console versions, but as DLC only. He doesn't have a role in the story at all in any versions of the game. But in the portable versions of the game, Tim Drake is also a playable character. And Robin's suit from LEGO Batman: The Videogame (which was Tim Drake's), is playable. Robin is even referred to as Dick Grayson in the LEGO Batman 2 Prima Guide. One last thing to note, Red Robin, Tim Drake's future superhero identity, is available in the portable version, while in console DLCs, Damian Wayne is playable as Robin.

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham

1966 Wayne Manor portrait

Robin in LEGO Batman 3 appears to be Tim Drake. This time, both Dick Grayson and Tim Drake out-of-costume are in the same game, which wasn't the case in LEGO Batman 3 (but was in LEGO Batman 1). Nightwing appears in-game as well. Dick Grayson as Robin is also in-game, as the 1966 TV show Robin. But it looks like TT wanted to make it clear that Dick Grayson was indeed Robin in LEGO Batman 2. In the opening cutscene of the 1966 level, a portrait in Bruce Wayne's office showing Dick Grayson is identical to his appearance in LEGO Batman 2 (albeit mirrored).
