So Robin is in Arkham City, but when I say without tights I don’t mean with his junk hanging out turkey slapping thugs in clown makeup, I mean he’s wearing his Red Robin outfit from the comics. What’s a Red Robin outfit? Sigh, okay. Click through if you must know.

Currently in the Batman comics Bruce Wayne died (although I think now he’s back), Dick Grayson (formerly Robin, then Nightwing) became Batman, Tim Drake, the latest Robin became a slightly less fruity, but still a bit fruity character called Red Robin, and Bruce Wayne’s illegitimate psychopath bastard Damien Wayne became Robin. There was a girl Robin for a bit, Stephanie Brown, but she died in keeping with DC’s pathological obsession with killing female characters (google Women in Freezers). Also Jason Todd who was the middle Robin comes back several times despite dieing several times and gets all angsty which is basically his whole thing.

I’ve been eagerly gobbling up all the Arkham City news… but, Robin? Really?
