does anybody remember what issue the "Robins New Look" spread was in? I know I have that issue, but I cant remember exactly which one it was....and I'm getting bogged down rereading old stories when I start flipping through the pages to look for it. which isnt a bad thing

Ah, yes... the introduction of Robin The Boy Wonder's "new look". A dark day in comics, that was.

I wonder if they realized then how they were destroying the merchandising angle of the character? Robin (wearing the classic costume) used to be plastered over everything just as were Batman & Superman. Now not so much (but you are seeing more Green Lantern & Flash).
I'm a big a Robin fan as they come, but I will admit, it was time to retire the classic Robin costume. The Neal Adams designed Tim costume was a perfect updating of the classic suit. I wish they hadn't abandoned it a few years back, although I don't mind the all red/black version either.
Captain is talking about the fan submissions for a new Robin suit. Some of them are very...interesting.

It was a nice suit. You have to admit with all the gay jokes about Robin. The writers were trying to "tough him up" and that is what they came up with.
When they did the first Batman animation, Dick Grayson for some reason got the Tim Drake outfit. They seemed to skip the elf boots, little green boy underware classic look.
I thought the new red and black outfit was the best one. I made my current Robin custom from this look.
