The Robin OYL Thread

[GoldenAgeHero]

Here's the other problem with OYL--it all happens at the same time. We already know that the Duo's back together. So that "decision" will be to keep Robin. Totally ruined that one.

umm no. did you read the links? he hasnt even made the descsion yet. wtf are you talking about?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, there's some confusion going on here. The big decision alluded to that Batman's going to make about Robin is going to come during the current, post-OYL arc running through Batman's comics right now called "Face to Face." He didn't make the decision during the missing year.

whoah i behind when did batgirl (cass) die?

Batgirl was killed by her "brother" Mad Dog in Batgirl #72, but revived in a Lazarus Pit by Lady Shiva the very next issue. She and Lady Shiva fought to the death and, after winning, Cassandra ditched the Batgirl identity and struck out as her own woman, no longer beholden to the paths anyone else wanted her to take.

 

[Anubis]

So.....you think she's gonna come back as Batwoman?

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

i really dont know. but i think shes the new leader of the league of assasains.

 

[Anubis]

Which would explain that really bad pic of Canary and what looks like Lady Shiva. If Cass killed her, then that must be Cass in that pick.

Wait, so Face to Face comes AFTER the first arcs by Dini and Morrison?

Cassandra doesn't kill her. She snaps her neck (though Shiva's still alive afterwards) and leaves her hanging over a Lazarus Pit by a hook, which was ripping through Shiva's shoulder under Shiva's weight when Cassandra left her. It's highly implied that the hook rip right through and Shiva fell into the Pit, allowing her to survive.

Wait, so Face to Face comes AFTER the first arcs by Dini and Morrison?

No, "Face to Face" is going on right now and will be followed by Dini and Morrison's runs. "Face to Face" still takes place after the missing year that will be chronicled in 52, though.

Wow thats a pretty bad@$$ way to end a fight.

Why yes, Cassandra is a pretty badass, and she did end that fight.

 

[Anubis]

Not now Corp, I aint in the mood.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That's too bad. I'm always in the mood.

 

[Anubis]

That's because your a human colostomy bag. (I used spell check for that insult.)

But spell check doesn't cover the proper use of "your." That one should be a "you're," for example.

 

[boywondernerdDC]

Ohhh Burn

 

[Anubis]

Damn you....damn you to hell.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Damn you....damn you to hell.

Aw, you know I only do it out of love. No no, in fact, for you, Nuby-Nub, I do it out of lurv.

You know back to Tim's new costume i like it but it's not a huge change to me just sleeves and some minor tweaks big deal. They keep saying this is gonna be huge and things will never be the same well give me a costume that let's me know that you know. Some guys over in fanart section did a kick ass update for an older robin i'll see if i can find it.

Ok here it is:
This is BizarroMe1001 Robin redesign done by Brad.

inked and colored

To me this would be a departure maybe a little hint of kingdom come but not too much you know i would love this

By the way i didn't read the titans tomorrow story so what happened it was the kids future selves??

I don't know. I tend to be wary of redesigns that depart so radically from the original. So much of how a character is designed and percieved is tied up in their attire, so for example the Superman redesign a few years back, or the way the X-Men look in the movies, while it might be cool, just "isn't" the character.

And that one, while a cool costume idea, just doesn't really say "Robin, Batman's sidekick" to me.

That's because he's not a sidekick anymore really. How does not say Robin it has a bird motif built into it even the mask is more birdlike. Look tim is matureing i don't think he would have this bright costume with a yellow R on it. Much like batman doesn't have a B on his jus a Bat now robin has a bird. Also he looks more bad assish as tim should.

And a prompt...SCREW YOU! Sir.

How did they try to hard

Now to address the design above it's not perfect i would change some things. I would get rid of the stupid belt around the leg. And i would change the pouch belt to black or a really dark green. Also the gauntelts i would make like the current costume and the mettle shin guards would be flat black. Finally i would scallop the cape like the current one. But i still think this design is BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The torso's not bad. I can't say I like much of the rest, though. I actually did a similar redesign for the old Refresh thing on the Fan Art forums a couple of years ago.
