I want to know because i wanna get into shape and I love the way they are constantly in shape lol, it seems stupid but i wanna do it.
i donāt think itās carrie because of the body, and the hairstyle isnāt right for jason
I'm not all that familiar with Tim tbh but I curious as to why Tim fans offer Goshawk, Wyvern and Cardinal as new codenames for Tim. Does it connect to something about his character?
From what knowledge I have about Tim, he seems to be more independent as Robin compared to Dick. Dick became Nightwing to establish an identity separate from Batman's sidekick and also incorporating aspects from his parents and Superman who was is other mentor.
Tim on the other hand seems to have taken the Robin mantle and chang it from being Batman's sidekick to a mantle that can stand on its own.
So I'm doing a personal project to try and understand the Robin's better and figure out what makes them unique from each other and right now it's what makes them want to be Robin/Batman's Sidekick. (This will prolly seem stupid). The main question is, how did Dick approach being Robin?
So Tim saw Robin as a necessity which represents how for him it's a job. He gives giant middle child energy obviously. Id say he's more goal oriented and logic driven than allowing his emotions to get in his way. Of course with anyone going through the heavy middle child energy comes the identity crisis he's in now so it works.
Jason to my knowledge loved the more traditionally heroic side of being Robin. He was considered the sweetest Robin before.... writers... hurt him. He's the one who loved Bruce possibly the most of them which is why it breaks his heart that he thought Bruce didn't care he died or stop the Joker and replaced him with Tim. Jason is passionate and the most emotional of them in the passionate sense, not the anger issue way of Dick or Damians arrogance. Jason was on the street and was incredibly grateful to Bruce for taking him in. He loved learning. This leads to when he's Red Hood being even more tragic. He's angry and hurt. The boy he got his first chance at a sense of normalcy had that taken away again. Even so he's still caring he just doesn't allow himself to be open about it, but he's definitely still the sweetheart.
Damian sees being Robin and Batman's Partner as a birth right thing. He's Bruce's son and therefore he, more than anyone, is the most deserving of all of it. He was raised by some of the most dangerous humans on Earth which has struck a strong sense of pride in him. He knows he's better than everyone else and doesn't have the patience or temperament to wait for others to catch up.
So... Dick. I know he's gotten the most representation in media as Robin and Nightwing but that's actually kinda made it harder to understand who he really is. I know he's the "nice one" and "the optimist" but from what I knew about him before like the New 52 and Crisis, wasn't he the one with the most anger issues? Wasn't he like the one who's always joking but the most rage full (outside of post death Jason)? Like now he's the one apparently the beacon of goodness right after Superman or something and it doesn't fit what I know about him. I just need more explanation if anyone can give.
What do you guys think about Jason's place in the absolute universe?
Originally, I imagined that maybe Jason is a toddler since Bruce is in his early 20s. Willis Todd and Catherine still live in Crime Alley. Willis is in a gang to provide for his family or maybe even lead one.
Another scenario in my head is that Sheila is there in Crime Alley. She's still a doctor and doing illegal operations like in the main before she fled the country. Maybe she's pregnant with Jason or we get to see how she and Willis met before having Jason. Or it would be interesting if we see her keep Jason instead of leaving him with Willis.
Hey, maybe Bruce is friends with Willis, Shelia or Catherine since in this version he grew up in crime alley too.
I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. I'm pretty sure my vision is way different from the writer since Barbara Gordon is already grown up and a police officer in this universe, which surprised me.
