    Should Tim Drake be called RedWing now since he's "grown-up" from being robin and Grayson considers him an equal now and hes called Nightwing so why not call Robin RedWing

    I'm fine with Tim's name being Red Robin, I just can't stand his new costume.

    Every time I read his title I always get a craving for cheeseburgers though. Then again if his name was changed to Redwing I would just feel like playing hockey

    Not really. And Tim is far from Dark, he just had a Dark run when Bruce died.

    Not really. And Tim is far from Dark, he just had a Dark run when Bruce died.

    I would agree that Tim isn't really that dark, I would actually argue that Batman isn't that dark half the time as much as he is constantly tragic. I would argue that Tim is one of the more serous, brooding, and at times pessimistic characters from the bat family and that I think that's why people think he's "dark". As for the name Red Robin I don't think it really suits him. Fodigg does a good job of covering some of the problems with the name in his blog

    http://www.comicvine.com/tim-drake/29-9290/i-hate-the-name-red-robin/92-628233/#56 but on top of his complaints I also add that it doesn't reflect how much Tim has grown from the Robin title. He needs a new name and while it doesn't have to be dark name like nightwish or darkwing or anything like that it should suit him more than simply being a more edgy version of Robin (especially since Damians more edgy than he is) if he has to have a color in his name I would suggest grey since I feel like the character sees things in shades of grey and not black and white and if he has to have a bird in his name I don't know what it should be but almost anything other than Robin would work.

    @BlackArmor: agreed.i would like for Tim to get a cool name that stands on it`s own. like Dick got. nothing with colors and stuff. i can`t say i like any superhero name that has a color in it`s name. hopefully DC will find a decent name and start an ongoing with Tim pretty soon

    after reading The court of the owls arc in Batman i was thinking that the name Talon would have been a great fit for Tim Drake. Owlman or even Nightowl would also be great names for Tim . RR seems like a shallow name and a superhero with a name like that can`t get much atention and hype created around him.

    There is already a character called Red Wing in a different comic outside of DC. Probably not a big deal, but it would be a distraction. Red Robin makes everyone think of hamburgers. It just doesn't work.

    The gray ideas are good, and I loved the suggestion of Tim taking up the mantle of the Gray Ghost. That would certainly give him a a more unique persona in the bat-family. If they keep making him making him look like the Falcon from Marvel, they could call him the White Falcon, LOL!
