The Robin OYL Thread

[chuckymack]

Well, I really dig Tim's new suit, especially the gauntlets and the pouchy-belt. But, not the trunks. They just don't look right to me, for some reason. And, yes, the folks at DC at least TRY to tie up the loose ends when switching creative teams.

Really, I'm just glad they got rid of that God-awful belt of his. And the bumps on the sleeves and gloves. What was up with those, anyway?

Honestly, who decides when making a post-60s costume to include underware on the outside?

It's REALLY weird when you see a bad @$$ mo fo like Deathstoke wearing the orange underwear in an otherwise kick A outfit...

And, TheCorpulent... guess I should clarify. I guess I'd be surprised to see Robin actually JOIN the Veteran what with Willingham leaving the title. I'd like to be proved wrong, of course... I wonder if having to write out three characters because of crossovers (the Dad in Identity Crisis, after he found out who he was, Spoiler, his ex- and Laura, his wanna-be mob g/f... and having to change locale's) had to do anything with him leaving, or if it's just Willingham writing AND drawing a new book post-OYL?

Like I said to GAH, if Robin accepted the Veteran's offer, his tenure with the Veteran would probably just serve as the explanation for why he was away from Gotham for 52. It'd all be contained in there and lead into the post-OYL status quo with Robin on the run from the cops. Not exactly a big deal to mention that Robin was off with the Veteran and his team over the 52 year.

Robin's OYL costume is the costume Tim Drake wore in B:TAS with the cape of the Teen Titans GO Robin. So much for thinking of something new.

Maybe the "underwear" is sown into the pants? Or it's armored(like a protection cup with kevlar'that would work for Batman and Deathstroke, but you run into a problem with Superman')? They should give us SOME EXPLAINATION!!!!!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He really does look younger in that costume somehow...

 

[TimDrake64x]

i think he jsut looks younger in the picture where he is on the ceiling, not when hes swinging and thats just cause of the art

 

[Nightwing 52]

Amazing though, Daniel makes him look much older when he draws him in Teen Titans...

I love Robin's new costume. The reason is that I see that costume more of what, not just Tim, but Dick Grayson also would wear.

Batman saw Grayson as a son of his, so if Grayson wore that costume that would fit in that picture of father and son, mentor and the student. And Tim Drake is a detective just like Batman so the costume he'll wear next month fits him perfectly.

I still like the previous costume because that was the first no bad, not campy/crappy, more realistic costume for someone to wear. And only to a degree can I say Robin's opriginal costume was good for only a 10-12 age boy to wear. But on that note, the more moderization of the original costume seen in Teen Titans animated was better for today's world on that old design.

I think Robin might've accepted the Veteran's offer and become a little more hardened as a result of working with soldiers for the past year. Batman's comics imply that their relationship has changed post-OYL, and that could be why.

apparently your theary has been thrown out. robin is with bats OYL.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You obviously didn't understand my theory (with an "o," by the way). I said that Robin might have accepted the Veteran's offer and been working with him for the missing year. The 52 year. The year before OYL. That doesn't conflict with Robin's being back with Batman post-OYL.

You think that third picks great well I bet I can make it look horribel to you click here and if you can still look at it after that here's a wallpaper.

Seems like this is the new offer Tim recieves, what could the LOA want with him though? Can't wait for this issue...

 

[Bullseye]

I've read a few issues of Robin, not sure if I will read the OYL issues.

 

[Nightwing 52]

OYL begins for him next week, I'm giving it a chance.

 

[Bullseye]

To me, the only Batman comics that have really been strong are Batman and Detective comics.

Nightwing and Robin are great characters, they've just had bad writers.

 

[Nightwing 52]

To me, the only Batman comics that have really been strong are Batman and Detective comics.

Detective Comics OYL so far, has been great. I really enjoyed DC #817, especially with Gordon back as commish. Can't wait for the follow up in Batman #651. Also for Morrison's Batman has reached the top of my list, no more jerk Bats after this arc. And I couldn't be happier...

Nightwing and Robin are great characters, they've just had bad writers.

Both have now been given new writers, hopefully they'll exceed in writing them right. Still not liking the fact that there will be two Nightwings OYL, and Robins new suit is starting to grow on me. Even if it's a rip off of the TAS version.

 

[Bullseye]

Oh, I'll be reading Nightwing.

If Morrison's Batman is anything like his X-Men run, I'll never read anything Morrison writes again.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Oh, I'll be reading Nightwing.

If Morrison's Batman is anything like his X-Men run, I'll never read anything Morrison writes again.

His Batman will be more laid back than the one we know now, and he'll search for his son he had with Talia. Ibn.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Cover to #151.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

i doubt itll be his real son

 

[Nightwing 52]

i doubt itll be his real son

We'll find out soon.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Holy ****, that Robin cover and solicitation gets me very excited. I wonder if the fracture between Tim and Bruce will have to do with Tim's decision to integrate guns into his arsenal. It wouldn't really surprise me, all things considered. We've seen him use one in "Titans Tomorrow" and elements of that are supposed to be bleeding into the mainstream comics, and there are heroes out there who use guns while still adhering to the no-kill rule (Arsenal, for example), and it would make sense for Tim to be comfortable around them if he ends up taking the Veteran up on his offer for the 52 year.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

thats pretty sad, i thought tim would learn from his future self, to prevent such a thing. and he the dude has better skils then needing a gun. im surprised you like this direction corp, considering your a fan of tim's.
