    Which of Robin's outfits is the best?

    Following the question of the best Batman colors, I thought I'd follow it up with Robin and his three different outfits. Which one do yuou think is the best one?

    1: Original Red, Green, and yellow cape worn by Dick Grayson and later
    Jason Todd

    2: Red and Green with Black and Yellow Cape worn by Tim Drake and by
    Dick Grayson on Batman: The Animated Series

    3: Red and Black with Bat shaped Red and Black cape worn by Tim Drake
    currently.

    While I respect the original, I personally like number 2.

    Cheers.

    Short pants and Pixie boots, its just such a contrast to Bats that it works great.

      The original worked for it's time, but as much as I loved it, it was truely outdated. The 2nd suit you mention brought the original suit into modern times very well. I even liked Chris O'Donnel's long-sleeved version in Batman Forever. The new "all red" suit is okay, but it lacks the traditional green colors, pulling it farther away from the original Robin Hood model. Plus it is based on the Tim Drake animated costume, which first appeared over 11 years ago, so it seems kind of odd for the change at this point.

        Second one. As much as I like the Classic one which works well in the golden-age. It doesn't cut it today. I like when Tim Drake appeared with the new costume he looked like a perfect team mate for Batman.

          I'm adding another one. The one Robin wore in the Teen Titans cartoon. Yeah,almost the same the second version but I love those big honking boots of his.

                          Amen!

                          I like the#2 suit (which I believe Neal Adams designed as well), but the original and the Earth 2 versions are the Robins I grew up with

                              Of course I have a soft spot for the Earth 2 Costume, but it wasn't in the running, so I left it out. Some people knock the yellow leggings, but really that is the only possible weak part of the costume. I prefer the half-cowl version of it myself.
