Previous Post Hello all. I have not been following the Batman as of late but have noticed Robin (Tim Drake) now is wearing a red and black costume instead of the original one. Is there a reason for this in the plotline? Thx in advance....good reading to you all.

I'm guessing there might be some sort of reason given in "52", it's a new start as the Dynamic Duo for both of them, Batman has a new attitude, Robin has a new costume.

Personally, I still really dislike the new costume, the absence of the lincoln green, the lack of short sleeves, and the overabundance of Bat-like tendencies (The enormously long scalloped cape, the bat-tabs on the gloves) pretty much spoil the point of the Robin costume.
