Gossip: The Absolute Looks of Absolute Batman's Absolute Robins

Gossip: The Absolute Looks of Absolute Batman's Absolute Robins.... and will they be revealed at WonderCon today?

Bleeding Cool gets the scoop from one of those inside sources regarding the upcoming Robins in Absolute Batman. And yes, as has been teased, plural. I am told there will be five of them. Let's call them Robins Force Five. And while I don't know their identities, I am told that they will look to the casual reader as if they are the standard DC Robins, Tim Drake, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Damian Wayne and either Stephanie Brown or Carrie Kelly. Five Robins, all in Power Suits, four males, one female. Who they actually are? We'll have to read to find out.

Previously, we learned that Jack Grimm, the Absolute Joker, was playing the role of the classic Bruce Wayne in the Absolute version of Gotham. He had the billionaire playboy lifestyle, he has the Manor, he had the Butler, he even has a Batcave of sorts, an entrance hidden behind the Grandfather clock in the Manor. Scott Snyder said in an interview, "If Bruce is Joker now, and he is chaos and he is disruption, then Joker is the system and order. That means Joker would have a Batcave, he would have a mansion, he would be handsome, and be a socialite. Maybe he has Robins!" And at Megacon Orlando, he said, "You're going to meet the Robins" in Absolute Batman #20. And also that this cover… is not the cover.

"The R is going to drop away, and you're going to see the designs of what we're thinking for Robin," Scott Snyder explained. To prevent leaks and spoilers, the real designs were shared with variant artists under heavy encryption and watermarks. The dramatic reveal is coming soon, expect the masked "R" to transform and show the new Robins looks underneath. Might we get that at one of the WonderCon panels today? As long as we're sure Scott Snyder got there safe and sound?
