It’s kind of a constant topic of discussion that the Robins look similar, but what I think is really interesting is the effort the artists put into there designs so that they look similar alone, but totally distinguishable when they’re next to each other. (this doesn’t include steph obviously or damian because he was made to look like Bruce and talia)
Dick, for instance, clearly has the straightest hair as well as lighter eyes than Jason, but darker eyes than Tim (that sounds a bit fickle but trust, you’ll understand when you see the two of them). His nose is also very clearly straighter and narrower than the other two.
Jason, on the other hand easily has the curliest hair out of the three and his eyes are the darkest blue. His nose is also the widest of the three.
Finally Tim who has the waviest (i’m not totally sure how to describe his hair) out of the three. His eyes are also very clearly the lightest and he has a much smaller button nose (this is probably due to his age but it’s still a nice distinction)
I think it’s super interesting how they chose to do this because it allows each Robin to feel like a separate character, but the second they put on the costume they all become the same Robin everyone knows and loves. Idk i just think it’s neat
exactly, like this is exactly the ‘don’t yuck my yum’ shit we learned in kindergarten
you don't need to minimize other people's favorite because you have a favorite: it's okay to love damian, you don't need to shit on tim's character/erase his trauma. you can love tim and not shit on jason's run as robin. you can have cass or duke as a favorite and not diminish the other kids relationship with bruce and each other. and on, and on, and on.
Jon: I’m a co parent of a beaver named Kyle Jr and it’s all because of poor golf cart driving skills. I’m pretty sure he has rabies but it’s NOT my fault
Dami: For once
Sometimes found family is a group of people going “fuck it, we might be all gay and traumatized, but let’s be gay and traumatized together.” And honestly, that’s beautiful.
Robin (and Batman) by Chris Samnee and Mat Lopes
I feel like, at this point, batfam's deaths are just naps mid-battle
Stephanie: Cass isn’t just my best friend, shes my baddie from another daddy
Jason: . . .
Stephanie: Oh dear god why did I say that

Duke: What’s wrong with Tim?
Damian: The idiot took NyQuil instead of DayQuil by accident but refuses to sleep because he’s got work in an hour
Damian: He’d probably be fine if he hadn’t taken twice the recommended amount too
Damian: He’s gonna pass out any minute, wanna watch with me?
Duke: Hell yeah
Duke: Tim! How’s it going dude?!
Tim: I CAN SMELL THE RAINBOW

Dick: I’m really not that sunburned
Barbara: lobsters aspire to achieve that color Dick
Dick: At least my skin actually has color
Barbara: It’s not my fault I’m translucent!
breaking news in my ongoing quest to figure out what Tim Drake’s tastes in media are. I just spotted this poster on the wall of his room:
so as one does, I googled “moxy fruv” and found this
Moxy Früvous got their break in the early ‘90s writing and recording songs for Canadian public radio, but didn’t release an actual album until July 1993. This issue (Robin #1) was published in October 1993. So! Tim either loves this one nerdy band enough to slap a poster on his wall a month after hearing them for the first time
or
Tim Drake listens to Canadian public radio for fun.
I want him back. DC please let us have him back. I miss him.
Cassie Sandsmark they could never make me hate you. Even if they’re trying. Really hard
Also idk if Greta and Cassie were technically roommates at Saint Elias’s but who else would it be. They’re buddies. Bonds forged in Yj are unbreakable unfortunately
despite the cass cain heavy apperence this is both a dc and a marvel blogcass cain just happens to be the coolest person ever(and the charcter that got me into comics)always happy to talk about all things comic related!!!(though I admittedly know more about DC)
