Our first theme week in a while - 2020's Weeks of Wonder - ROBIN!

[icon_uk]

We have a few major characters celebrating their 80th anniversary this year, and over the course of the year, we'll be celebrating them in turn. The choice of the name "Week of Wonder" is a hint towards who two of those characters are! :)

Since it's the first day of Spring on Friday and; according to one source his birthday, it seems apt to make our first Week of Wonder be about the character who's secondary title was so prevalent, it was in his logo from his debut in 2020

By whom I mean, of course,

Robin the Boy Wonder

who became the Teen Wonder... and eventually the Hunk Wonder (Babs words, not mine).

But times have changed, and whilst Dick Grayson may have been the first, he was by NO means the only Robin,

We have Jason Todd 1 and 2, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Damian Wayne, Carrie Kelley and even the likes of Matt McGinnis and (in the Golden Age) Bruce Wayne himself, and all are fair game for this celebration.

But Dick Grayson hasn't just been Robin, he's also been Nightwing (from Disco-Wing to... (shudder) Ric), Batman, Agent 37 of Spiral and also, of course, Dick Grayson as a character in his own right, described by some as the most well-connected character in the DCU, since his family starts with Batman and his friends start with Superman

So over the next week, let's celebrate the kid who was able to make BATMAN smile, and still kick seven shades of crud out of the bad guys!

That image makes it look like Batman's cape is a portal to the Dimension of Infinite Robins.

Which isn't the stupidest comic concept I've seen, to be honest.
