It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

Red Robin. Thankfully, Tim's left that name behind and is now Drake.

The bat plane, it’s often referred to as the batwing. Which is kinda dumb what’s the next young hero going to be called? Batarang? I’d say it’s close between Drake and Batwing for me. That being said both are better than Red Robin. Anyway I actually don’t see what wrong with Signal, Spoiler or Orphan. Originally Posted by Pohzee

The character is called TIM DRAKE... Drake would be a better option for someone that has not Drake as surname.
I always like SPOILER and BATWING..
About ORPHAN.. I don´t know.. Not bad. But Cass deserves a better alias.
I never liked SIGNAL... We had one signal before.. The bat-signal.

Drake is bad. All I can think of is the rapper.

Oh crap, you’re right, I guess my complaints about Batwing sorta applies to Duke too. Damnit. Originally Posted by adrikito

I don't get the hate for some of these, they're just regular "insert obvious themes" names. If Batman/girl/woman and Red hood are ok than so are those.

Spoiler is fine. It's got history and it fits Steph.
Signal is fine for Duke even if it's not a name that really stands out to me.
But I'm not really crazy about Orphan or Drake.

Drake wouldn't be as bad if that wasn't his actual name... That said, it is miles above Red Robin...yummm

He actually took Red Robin from Jason (Jason got the name when he, Donna, and Kyle Rayner were doing that whole multiversal travel thing. Ended up on an Earth where that Jason never came back, but that Bruce ended up killing Joker and teamed up with Jason and... Originally Posted by Mistah K88
