Today's review of DC Multiverse<\/i> Red Robin<\/a> said that all the New 52 Robins have worn their own unique suits. Take a look:<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

We begin, of course, with Dick Grayson. His look owes a lot to the Neal Adams Robin design, though choosing to replace the red trunks with an arrow pointing at his junk is... certainly a decision. Maybe he wanted to subconsciously hint at his real name?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The benefit of designing a flashback costume is that you can use it to reflect the future. For instance, Jason Todd wears a red mask instead of green, presaging his turn as Red Hood. His suit was rougher and more armored than Dick's, but dropped any use of black.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tim's \"first\" costume was really his second old costume (the one based on Batman the Animated Series<\/i>), just minus the black trunks.<\/p>\n

Here's some bonus art, too. Such as the New 52 take on Nightwing's post-\"disco\" blue-and-yellow costume:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And before she was Huntress, Earth-2's Helena Wayne was her father's Robin, wearing a costume of her own:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, the comics finally introduced Carrie Kelly, Dark Knight Returns<\/i>' female Robin:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

(She was at a costume party. Wearing a replica of a costume that now never existed, it seems.)<\/p>\n
