YOUNG JUSTICE #7
written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS

Young Justice—lost in the Multiverse! After the explosive conclusion to their Gemworld adventure, the team is having a tough time finding their way back to their Earth. No, we can’t tell you where they end up, but rest assured, you will be surprised! But as exciting as all that is, we have bigger problems to deal with as Tim Drake is about to do something he has only done...lots of times before. He is about to announce his new alias...a new superhero name. A Young Justice name. And this time, it’s permanent. Like, forever.

After just 6 issues of him as Robin again? That's a shame. I was happy he finally had a good costume again - the only one I've really liked since his 1990-2006 suit.

Maybe Tim mantain the current costume. I mean he just need a new identity that start with R.

Maybe Redwing or Redbird.

If you showed someone a picture of him and asked "What super-hero is this?", they would say "Robin".

Yep, which is why a suit change is necessary

...Has Tim actually used more aliases than Robin and Red Robin in any serious capacity? I mean, the only ones occurring to me are Mr. Sarcastic and Alvin Draper, and the latter is just a civilian alias.

I think Tim used Batman in Battle for the Cowl, right?

Hope y'all happy. Y'all wanted a new name. Honestly I wish he was Robin forever, but thats a lost cause since it would make him irrelevant long term. Son of Batman is a better headline for a Robin than Teen Wonder.
I'm glad its Bendis changing his name because that way I know its not going to be a weird name and DC Editorial will wholeheartedly accept it this time.

Its gonna be Secret, and its a really good idea.

Whatever this new name is, I just hope it's something unique that he can really call his own. Something far removed from Robin. Dick, Jason, and Steph got to move on. Tim has been long overdue to put his big boy pants on and join them.

Maybe Redwing or Redbird.

Maybe not Redbird cuz Damian had that first and there's just something....really disrespectful about making your character take their little brother's hand-me-downs XD

But Redwing....I actually like that.

Tim should take Flamebird as his codename.

RedWing isn't something far removed from Robin, Dick or Jason. It's literally meshing the 1st and last part of their independent hero names together. Though I must admit i like that name.

The general public knows Robin as Batman's young sidekick, a less tortured, more lighthearted character than his mentor.

The idea of Robin being Batman's literal son, and a character who's moody, tortured, egotistical and has a history of killing, is a foreign concept to the general public's understanding of who Robin is.

I really don't understand why DC has stuck with this premise for so long. Damian Wayne clearly has enough going on, enough hooks, to be established as a unique character. Tim Drake kind of doesn't, because he was built specifically to be the new Robin, after learning from the mistakes they made with the previous version (Jason). His entire time as Red Robin it was like, he's Robin... but not? He's Robin... but he doesn't get to interact with Batman very much? It's weird, keeping the character around after removing the reason for the character's existence, but failing to replace it with anything truly unique and compelling in its own right.
