Cover to Red Robin # 2

[BlackKnight]

So,... If Dick's gonna be Batman,.. & Damian's gonna be Running around with him in a Robin Suit,.. From this Pic Obviously Tim is Still gonna Wear the Robin Suit,.. & Who's Red Robin then ? A Newly reformed Todd ? Interesting.

[Captain]

I knew Red Robin was going to come out of this somewhere!!!

I'm betting Brucie is waiting in the wings and due back very soon!

[The Bat]

Well...if you go with the "Kingdom Come" Future coming true...then it will be Dick as Red Robin. Which begs the question...who's in the Batsuit??

[thunderbolt]

^^ A lot of the KC future has been mined already, especially for costume and character designs. JSA already established that the current DC Earth is not the KC one, so it couldbe anybody under that hood. I'm guessing Jason Todd.

[The Bat]

I'm guessing Jason Todd.

Can't see it...Jason Todd is a Murderer! He doesn't fit with the Bat-Family.

IMO,.. they Need to just let Todd Be Batman for a Bit.
I like that Angle personally.
Bring the Punisher to Gotham City for a While. I am Digging Him Big time in Battle for the Cowl.

If your gonna Kill, have him Leave, have him Trapped or Whatever ( Bruce Wayne) Let's just have the Batman be Some sorta One Man Action Hero Rambo Dude with a Cape for a bit. Also,.. that would seriously make Gotham's Rogues Respect the Bat Again imo.

Teaming up Tim and Jason Todd makes quite a bit of sense in terms of the potention tension that can arise through that kind of antagonistic partnership.

Wasn't it already hugely foreshadowed at some point during Countdown with Jason wearing the Red Robin costume?

It's not like Jason doesn't enjoy wearing other people's costumes, between the Red Hood and his stint as Nightwing in New York.

To me it makes the most sense for every one to shift up one... Dick as Batman, Tim as Nightwing and Damian as Robin.

All will be revealed in June, still betting on Dick and Damian in the new good cop bad cop role reversal Batman and Robin bit.

Tim's worn the Red robin outfit too to cover his burnt head for a few issues

Good point. The first time I saw that cover I thought the verticle seperation between Robin & Red Robin was a kind of past & present view of Tim. Robin was his past. Red Robin was his present.

I'm probably wrong, though.

Thats actually an interesting point of view,.. & does make more sense to me, rather than a Re-formed Todd. Todd's an Animal,.. & right now he's blowing everyone in Battle for the Cowl Away Punisher Style,.. He also just shot Damian, & shoved a Bat-a-rang knife in Drakes Chest,.. Next issue he's gonna have the climatic conclusion Battle with Dick. ... I just don't see it blowing over in 2 months maybe 1 or 2 issues, to where Dick & the Gang's gonna start Hanging with Todd.

Damian Acts alot different in Dick's presents.... He listen's to him,.. & follows his lead,.. or atleast in the Books I read. It's almost like a Different Damian than what we were introduced to.

[thunderbolt]

^^ The solicits for the first two Batman and Robin issues mention problems between Bats and his new sidekick. We can all agree that it is Damian as Robin, right? Maybe Tim Drake is Red Robin, it would make sense for him to be the one on the hunt for Bruce anyway.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Neither Damian or the Toddster deserve to be sanctioned Batman family members. Batman barely tolerates vigilantes that kill. He shouldn't be giving them spare keys to the Batmobile!

Maybe Dick starts out as Batman and this, but comes out as Red Robin. It's a cool costume and name for a one shot deal, but sucks wind compared to the Nightwing persona which is pitch-perfect for Dick. Way to fix things that ain't broke DC!
