Who IS Red Robin? A non-burger mystery.

[Sub-Zero]

[Phatman]

Red Robin is back?

I gotta get outta here. The DC universe gives me a headache.

 

[WompuM]

Interview with Red Robin writer Christopher Yost

Been a long time since we had any news in here.

 

[SouLeSS]

Jason Todd Jason Todd Jason Todd

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That'd be cool. It'd save me some money.

 

[SouLeSS]

I don't understand the hate. He's basically the punisher if he was trained by batman. How's that not totally badass?

 

[sethcohen]

whats not totally bad ass is that he has ZERO character development... hes become a poor characature of himself

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't understand the hate. He's basically the punisher if he was trained by batman. How's that not totally badass?

He was a s***ty Robin and when he came back, he just flitted about aimlessly, stealing other characters' identities, going back and forth between full-on villainy and anti-heroism, and blaming Batman for his death, which made absolutely no sense and showed he hadn't learned a goddamn thing since his aforementioned s***ty, impetuous, stupid Robin days.

 

[SouLeSS]

Yeah, but he's coming around again. Hopefully.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Eh, maybe if he is Red Robin and he's doing well and staying consistent a year from now, I'll take another look at him. I've actually found myself liking Supergirl in some comics like REBELS lately, so there's hope for even the s***tiest of characters.

 

[SouLeSS]

He's shown he's pretty damn capeable over in battle for the cowl, and he's actually cleaning things up for gotham. Ya know, killing, but still cleaning. His makeshift batcave was pretty sweet and he's a few steps a head of the good guys when it comes to what's hapening in gotham. Still acts like a spoiled brat, he really needs to get over it.

the cover of red robin #2 has tim as robing next to red robin so it has to be jason

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Or Stephanie in a man-suit. Or the Robin depicted could be Damien.

 

[sethcohen]

or its just a symbolic cover showing the progression from robin to red robin

 

[robinjr]

if you look at who Tim as robin is fighting on that cover it's spoiler. And in a couple interviews they say that Jason can't comeback from how low he's stooped. It's a shame, as red robin Jason could've progressed into some bad **** hero. It could've been Batman and Robin (Bruce and Tim) Nightwing and {insert cool sidekick name here} (Dick and Damian) then Red Robin (Jason) then everyone else. I always thought that this would be an awesome Bat-family.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd prefer Batman and Robin being Bruce and Damian and Nightwing and Tim getting a big-brother/little-brother book.

 

[sethcohen]

wheres this cover?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's been posted all over, but this is the first place it came up in a Google search:

[Sub-Zero]

why does everyone think that the two robins are there at the same time? one could be a flashback to tim's days as robin. the other is red robin fighting ninjas. plus isn't spoiler dead, so it can't be her?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Spoiler's been back for months.

 

[Sawyer]

I don't understand the hate. He's basically the punisher if he was trained by batman. How's that not totally badass?

How is that a good thing? The Punisher's kind of a **** character...
