As he matured to a man, he decided to simplify and now almost exclusively wears solid-colored shirts and traditional pants (blue jeans, khakis, or dark slacks) to decrease his chances of mis-matching. Thus that now dictates said man's perspective on superhero costumes as well.Marc Tyler Noblemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732005290440645718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103455.post-2144767873072256012008-03-24T22:34:00.000-05:002008-03-24T22:34:00.000-05:00I never got deep into the DC Universe beyond Batma...I never got deep into the DC Universe beyond Batman and the Teen Titans, I'm afraid. Focusing on what's happened to Robin over the past quarter-century was a way to figure out some of the changes in the medium since I was a regular reader.<BR/><BR/>Which means that: <BR/><BR/>1) Dr. Mid-Nite is still new to me. I think the first time I focused on him in my life was staring at a a background character in <I>Identity Crisis</I> and trying to figure out who he was. This being DC, naturally, he's the third or fourth incarnation of the name.<BR/><BR/>2) In my conservative fanboy way I'm still not sold on the red Robin costume. Nothing against it as a costume per se, but I still think Robin deserves a little green. I came to like Tim Drake quite quickly, though.J. L.

Ever notice how Dr. Mid-Nite went the same route--ditching the green (and purple) to focus on his red and black? Mr. Miracle, Creeper, Hawkman--your turn.Marc Tyler Noblemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732005290440645718noreply@blogger.com
