The final Dick. Red Robin (Yum!) from Alex Ross & Mark Waid’s Kingdom Come series, which takes place in a dystopian alternate future where grim-n-gritty anti-heroes run rampant, and the classic do-gooders are powerless to stop them. I’ve berated Frank Miller’s Dark Knight series for the reactionary takes to it which have really ruined Batman …
This is an ugly-ass Dick. Traveling back to Earth 2, it’s Dick’s Robin costume from when he grew too big for his short-pants and needed a better fit. He wore this (or rather, a version of this) just before he opted for the weird Batbin (Robman?) hybrid from yesterday. Then, when Earth 1 Dick came …
I’ve drawn this Dick before. It’s his original (I think?) Pre-Crisis Earth 2 costume. It’s such a mess. It’s an alternate fully-grown Dick keeping the name of Robin, but combining the Batman & Robin looks in the worst possible way. It’s awful and I love it. I love Dick! More Dick still to come!
We made it, guys! Dick is here! Dick for all! Check out the Process Video on YouTube! Kicking off the DickFest is the newish take on the original Dick Grayson-as-Robin costume designed by Dan Mora for the way-better-than-it-ever-should-be Batman-Superman: World’s Finest comic. It’s got classic Batman & classic Superman, both totally presented at their best …
Thanks to my personal Robin-advisor, Joe Grunenwald, I drew Damian’s current solo series/Batman vs. Robin grey suit. I wasn’t looking forward to it, but I dig it now.
Oh, little Damian Al Ghul-Wayne, you murdery imp. I remember when Grant Morrison introduced him during their run on Batman and hating this little shit. This could almost have been a Jason Todd sitch. I think I was just more upset that Tim had been brought back into the fold pretty hardcore just before Morrison …
The Nu52 Earth-2 Robin, Nu52 Earth-2 Helena Wayne – daughter of Nu52 Earth-2 Batman & Nu52 Earth-2 Catwoman – before becoming Nu52 Earth-2 Huntress. I never read this Nu52 Earth-2 book.
The original Tim Drake costume is still the best Robin costume, but this modified version for Stephanie Brown will be the only time I draw it during this theme. Somebody send me waffles.
I tried to make Carrie Kelley’s alternate future Robin costume look a little store-bought. Accurate to the classic Robin suit, but off. No utility belt, even. I wonder if Dark Knight Returns is even readable nowadays. It certainly ruined Batman for… well, still is ruining Batman.
The Robot Robin of the 853rd Century. I should draw more DC One Million characters. Also, DC should do more with the One Million characters.
