Can we have a better codename for Tim Drake?

[Spider-Clone]

Red Robin, Red Hood, Robin...too many reds and too many robins.

Red Robin, Red Hood, Robin...too many reds and too many robins.

They could call him Donna Troy.

[Awesome!]

Blue-footed Booby.

[Ghostbuster]

whats wrong with rocking robin?

[HXHAlex]

Part of me likes it because it keeps his Robin heritage, but the name does not roll off the tongue well, and as mentioned, with Red Hood, and Robin (damian) it feels bland

How about changing Red Hood to Hood? And Red Robin to Red?

[Mat001]

The point is that it acknowledges that he's still Robin, even if he's no longer in that role officially. And since his costume has a lot of red in it, more so than Damian's costume, Tim is Red Robin.

One thing I like about Nightwing, its not age restrictive. Dick can forever be Nightwing. I love that we are acknowledging Tim's past with Robin, but Robin is seen as training wheels for young heroes. Will Tim have to transition for Red Robin to something else as he gets older? What Im trying to say is, it doesn't feel like a permanent solution to the problem. He needs his "nightwing" role. I suppose I'm fine with Red Robin being that, but such a rough name, being so permanent, its hard to adjust to

[Filip]

Birdie
Wing
Woody Woodpecker
Bat-teen

[Moriarty]

he doesn't need a better codename, he just needs a better costume. like his pre-Flashpoint one.

I feel the wings have been justified ("we didn't want the leader of the team to have to be constantly flown around by super boy or wonder girl, etc") and they look pretty awesome in some panels, but yeah, after the slight changes made to it, the cowl costume did grow on to me

I don't know what's being said about Dick's origin as Nightwing, but he was forced out of it previously. And the name comes from Kryptonian lore. Or it used to. Tim didn't graduate from being Robin. That was taken from him. While he initially believed that he wouldn't be Robin forever, he was more than content to continue in that role until he was ready to step up to being Batman or until he retired.

It's only going to be permanent so long as Damian is around. Until we know what his fate will be once Morrison finishes his run, it's difficult to say what the future will hold.

[Revengeance]

What about rich billionaire son of Batman No.3 ?

[MajorHoy]

Chicken-Man?

Bob? (When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob-Bob Bobbin' Along)

Well, it would leave a bad taste in Bruce's mouth but why not Talon? Or Redbird?

Wasn't Redbird the car he drove way back when he first got his regular series?

Or anything other than Red Robin, which was a lame as hell name in Kingdom Come and has only gotten worse.

Not to mention confusion with the hamburger chain.

Yuuuuummmmmmm!

This is a good point. I suppose we do need to have a wait and see approach for the moment at least

Redbird would be acceptable, but for my money nothing will beat Redwing. I mean, he's a "graduate of the Robin program" so homaging Nightwing is an easy move. Even Batwing homages Nightwing, and I can't remember exactly when Batwing's name turned up in the 70's/80's story, but Dick becoming Nightwing was a new concept then.

So it recognizes Tim's graduation from being Robin, homages one of his best friends, brothers and mentors in Dick Grayson, and indicates that he's retaining more of the "Robin" elements - the color red, the bird-themes - than Dick did. After all, Dick still a bird basically re-embraced his acrobat/trapeze lifestyle with his motifs, with a slight predatory bird angle.

Yes, Redwing. Just to delineate him from Robin a bit more and separate him from the burger franchise.
