Robin Brings Back His Best Look Later This Fall
Tim Drake is Back in Action Alongside the Dark Knight
Tim Drake became Bruce’s third Robin years ago, shortly after Batman lost Jason Todd during the infamous “Death in the Family” storyline. Tim is one of the brightest and most capable Boys Wonder to ever serve under Bruce. While he left the role for a brief stint as Red Robin, Tim eventually returned to adopt his classic moniker once again.
Tim hasn’t had this look in years, at least since right before he was replaced as Robin back in the “Batman Reborn” era. Honestly, the “One Year Later” outfit is arguably his best look. It’s not just a good look for Tim, it’s a great way ofvisually communicating his dedication to the Bat-Family.
