Someone obviously said to someone "Go wild!".
We should find the first one.

Red and black. Sure. However those wings look majorly unpractical. Like Nightwing's former suit with tassels and everything.
And what on Earth did they do with Superman's logo?!?

Thank you. I love Tim to pieces and it's good to know he'll be around. A part of the Bat clan as well, I hope.

I'm not so sure that he WILL be part of the Batclan, or that he was ever Robin to Bruce's Batman. I have a very bad feeling about this.

Would they do that? *worried*
I mean, he has a clear Bat mentality. The only one more 'bat' is the Batman!

At this point I put nothing past them.

That said, I've been thinking about the solicit and now I'm wondering of War Games and Identity Crisis never happened. If Timmy STAYED in retirement after his dad found out and there was no Captain Boomerang.

I could see Timmy honouring his promise to his dad, and not being Robin, but still helping via computers.

Yeah, decision like that would make a perfect new starting point for Tim. Quite likely they did that, isn't it...

If they go that route (rather than re-writing his entrance into the Batfamily altogether) I think I could live with that.

Now if that IS the case......then would Timmy have still been with the Teen Titans for Jason to attack? If not that could REALLY change up their relationship in a lot of ways. Both in the nuDCU canon and in fanfiction.

I'm thinking I might need to start using Canon Tags for my fics ^_^;;

Yeah, things may get really messy with continuity for a time....

But, you know, let's hope that DC uses this relaunch/reboot/rewrite/rewhatever and starts paying attention to consistency of the canon. How hard can it be to keep a timeline for each character that every new author and artist can and should keep in mind... It's their job.

Otherwise, with that tattoo, Superboy's going to have a hard time hiding his secret identity. :/
Now that I look at it, you think it might be a sort of barcode?
And that shirt is sending a really confusing message. Got me baffled for one....

The shirt is the result of Kid Flash slapping a sort of "Kick me" sign on Kon's back as a joke, nothing more (Confirmed by the writer)

Kick me sign? OK.
Still not getting it. How does slapping a white sheath with a Supes logo on someone's back scream 'Kick me!'?

Not literally a "Kick me" sign, but the same sort of thing. It's just a sheet of paper, not a sheath. Perhaps mocking the fact "this kid thinks he's Superman!?".

Ah, OK.
I suppose we will find out eventually.
Thank you.
