This is how Tim Drake last looked back in Batman #146. Ruminating on the reality of Batman – did this android Batman really have Bruce Wayne's mind?

And this is how he has looked out of the shadows of late…

…and as a new figure from Todd McFarlane.

But it looks like he is getting a new costume, for Batman #148, out this Tuesday, with Tim Drake going up against the False Damian Wayne Robin created by the Zur-En-Arrh Batman and cloned from Bruce Wayne himself. As False Robin says…

So Tim Drake has dropped the Robin Redbreast (which I don't know if anyone has called it before, but they really should, like Superman's red underwear) and gained a bigger face mask to cover his cheeks. And dropping the bright yellow entirely. Is that armour instead of the gloves with fins?

Is there time for Todd McFarlane's new toy to reflect this? Or might we get a variant? Batman #148 by Chip Zdarky and Jorge Jimenez is published on Tuesday,
