Spoilers for Tim Drake: Robin #1 by DC ComicsDC Comics is teasing a new costume for Tim Drake, as Robin continues to find himself in his current ongoing series. In Tim Drake: Robin #1, Batman's former sidekick's journey of self-discovery leads him to live on a boat in Gotham's Marina. While readers learn more about Tim Drake's home, DC hints that Robin will be getting a new costume soon.
Tim Drake's Robin has worn several costumes since his debut back in the late '80s. His first costume as Robin remains among his most iconic, while he's also sported a wildly different look as DC's Red Robin - which has been redesigned a few times. One of his most bizarre looks came during a serious identity crisis for the character, as he referred to himself as Drake while trying to ditch his Robin persona during his time with Young Justice. That uninspired look and codename were quickly abandoned. Now, DC Comics is teasing a new costume for Tim Drake as his newest series begins.
In Tim Drake: Robin #1 by Meghan Fitzmartin, Riley Rossmo, Lee Loughridge, and Tom Napolitano from DC Comics, Tim Drake is living independently away from Batman, making his home on a boat in the Gotham City Marina. While Robin was worried when he left Batman, the issue shows he's starting to find himself as he ventures out on his own. Tim Drake's relationship with his boyfriend is getting stronger, while the hero is about to take another big step forward as DC is teasing a new costume for Robin.
A New Costume Is Coming Soon For Tim Drake's Robin
After Robin is reunited with Darcy, a friend he met during We Are Robin, and she takes a tour of his boat home, readers see that Tim Drake is working on a new costume. The comic shows a glimpse of a new Robin outfit, including his utility belt and some Batarangs. While his look isn't fully revealed in the issue, readers can look forward to Tim Drake getting a new costume soon as he fully takes control of his life.
