DC Comics is rebooting it's entire line of books and introducing both new characters and old characters with new looks. I don't know what was wrong with the old DC except for the clusterfuck they have made of their continuity and characters after inviting hacks like Grant Morrison to create a whole new universe for them. It was only after they realized Morrison was insane and untalented that they had to wipe the slate clean and start again. I hope some cool ideas like 'Batman Inc.' survive the change but I have my doubts.
Most of the cosmetic changes they have made to the look of the characters I could live without. Red Robin is very cool though. It's nice to see a character named after a bird actually have wings that allow him to fly. Not a great leap but one I haven't seen before. Check out the before and after pictures.

red robin, Yummmmm....
how did superboy get a tatoo?
i like it too- a lot of people are worried about DC's reboot, but i'm looking forward to the new costumes! Think of all the bitchin' new toys they'll make...
I never thought of the toys. K, I want my Red Robin 2.0 figure now.
He looks very hot! That's the new Superboy? Hot also.
So is Red Robin a new version of Robin from Batman and Robin? I'm confused.
The third Robin was Tim Drake who was just a kid who figured out who Batman was. When Damian Wayne became the fourth Robin, Tim took the name of Red Robin, a character made up in the awesome comic story 'Kingdom Come'.
That makes no sense, right?
