Robin IV

[the panther]

As some of you may or may not know, Tim Drake will be replaced by Stephanie Brown as Robin for a short while. This is my version of Steph as Robin... the Fourth Robin. :D

[spyke]

I see that it's inspired by part of snipe's description of the suit he wanted. good job.

[DixieFaithful]

Nice work, Panther.

[GL2814]

Cool pic, but it should be called Robin 5. Bruce Wayne was the first Robin.

[spyke]

has someone gone crazy?

[the panther]

Thanks, Spyke, Dixie, and GL! :D

But, GL, if I remember reading correctly, in the Book Discussion the continuity of Bruce being Robin is questionable since it happened Pre-Crisis. And since Tim is considered the third Robin, Steph would be the fourth.

[spyke]

Wait what? Bruce, Robin? *Confused 13 year old mind.*

Spyke, to say it was before your time is, like, the biggest understatement of the month.

Back in the 80's, there was a mini called "Untold Secrets of the Batman" in which it was stated that Bruce Wayne, as a teenager, had donned what would later become the Robin costume to hide his identity while studying with a famous private investigator. I think this idea had been shown before that, as well.

I don't think it's been mentioned since the now infamouse Crisis on Infinite Earths that re-wrote the history of the comic characters in 1985.


da 'Cat!

[spyke]

welcome. And it's already been explained to me but thanks.

This news is new to me. The new Robin will be a female? Why was Tim Drake forced to give up the Robin mantle? Who is this Stephanie Brown? I bought a Batman comic recently but it didn't mention anything about this Robin issue. Thank you for a reply.

[spyke]

Tim's dad finds out Tim decides, not is forced to, give up Robin.

[Spiked]

Ok because I heard he was forced, but it didn't sound right. And so this new Robin will be a female? Wow, I was so use to Tim this is crazy for me :). Thanks for replying.

[spyke]

Anytime. And yes the new Robin is Stephanie Brown aka Spoiler aka Robin 4.

[Spiked]

Oh Spoiler! Wow everything just clicked. Gotcha. :D Thanks!

Now that we've cleared things up, might I remind everyone that this thread is about a picture that Panther has drawn. Let's get back to commenting on that shall we?
