Robin Gets a New Costume for DC’s Batman Relaunch, and James Gunn Should Take Notice
DC has unveiled the covers for October’s issue #2 of Batman, penned by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Jorge Jimenez, Tomeu Morey, and Clayton Cowles. The primary cover by Jimenez and Morey depicts Batman and Robin in a dramatic pose atop a building, with the duo bathed in light to highlight their new outfits. Previously hinted at, it now appears that not only is Batman receiving an outfit upgrade but also Tim Drake’s Robin costume. Furthermore, this design pays homage to a beloved period for the character of Robin.
