Red Robin Cover and Interiors *some* SPOILERS

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Hey guys, more and more to indicate that it is Tim in the Red Robin suit from a link at the Source (http://dcublog.dccomics.com/2009/04/14/enter-the-world-of-red-robin/).

Notice the color cover depicting a clear night and day, or before and after shot of Tim and Red Robin on the color cover, and also, the bo staff being used in the interior pages.

I'm pretty confident that it is Tim now, and I couldn't be more pleased myself. I don't know, Red Robin would be weird for Dick in my opinion, but makes a lot more sense for someone fresh out of being Robin, and no one in the main DC time line has worn the uniform long enough to make it their own, so it has the potential to be definitively Tim's identity.

The art looks half-way decent. I hope the colorist doesn't make it too dark. BUT if that is Tim, my only complaint is he looks to thick (muscular) and way to mature (old).

Cover look good. Does Francis Manapul only do covers? I'm not familar with his work, but I like it.

The inks look great, I wish it was a black and white book!

There is a store name Timofonica (I think that's what it is) on the third page, might be a nice clue to it being Tim.

I'm more interested in this now, having seen these images.

I noticed that too. Tim looks really jacked in the interior stuff if it is him.

I didn't realize Chris Yost was the writer... but now I'm definitely going to give this series a shot. I have the $$ now that I've dropped all but one book from Marvel. I think this book is going to kick major tail.

The staff as a weapon definitely makes me think Tim, but the way it extends from a shorter kali stick style weapon reminds me of Dick, who typically carries two short fighting sticks.

Still a little bit of a mystery carrying over here ... even though we pretty much know that Dick will be Batman, and that the Red Robin speculation is between Tim and Jason.

Tim's staff is telescoping/collapsible, just like the one Red Robin is using.

Yeah, I thought I'd seen Tim's collapsible somewhere. I assume that with the M.O. of "trying to find Bruce Wayne", plus the Red Robin costume being seen in the final issues of Robin are probably huge, obvious indicators.

Well then.
Certainly glad my assumptions of Tim being RR are all but officially announced. Hoorah!

It's strange. When they first released that cover, I think it was to make people who thought it was Tim have second thoughts. But that interior page (with the bo) certainly confirms the fact, as far as I'm concerned.

Already on my pull list. Looking forward to this!
