Alright, I love Tim Drake. I think this video explains exactly why. He's a fantastic character and honestly, I cannot wait to see what happens between him and one of Batman's fiercest rogues...

Someone was talking about when a character goes to a location and then magically a cape appears too, which is one of the reasons why this book is so cool Tim is playing it real smart and making good use of the Red Robin costume. I almost feel that Dick Grayson needs to read this book, because this is how batman takes care of business.
I like the dichotomy that Yost is exploring with Tim. It almost seems like he has adopted Bruce's persona to keep him from dealing with the emotional weight of him losing another "father". Yost also brings up some interesting questions about how Tim can become his own man and what type of man will that be.
Was the legacy of Batman and Robin the only thing keeping from taking a harder stance against criminals? Is Tim becoming as obsessive as his mentor? And if he is, where will that take him?
Overall good stuff.

Haven't picked this up yet but after reading Red Robin #1 and loving it, it's a sure bet I will. What can be said? I am so pleasantly surprised how Tim "Wayne" Drake--wha'eva--is being written. I haven't been this interested and excited about a single comic character in quite some time.
I think Tim "Wayne" Drake is actually becoming more like Batman than even he realizes--and I am not complaining. I also pronounce Ra's like you do, Babs. Nice touch with the editing on the review with the little side screens while the comic is being shown, added some flair to the review. (Did I just say flair? Please refer to the movie Office Space. Oy. )
I am looking forward to more of Red Robin and seeing how things develop with the story, the character, and everything else that is tied in.
I also looove love love love Tim. Red Robin may end up being Tim's Nightwing. He's scuplting his new identity out of grief.
at first I didn't like Tim as Red Robin but the idea is starting to grow on me
I thought the same thing during the scene with Spoiler...her eyes are the same color as the latest Batgirl promo
I pronounce Ra's the same way...I say it the way it looks

lol I pronounce Ra's either way. Cool review Babs. Tim is obviously one of your favs. Tim is another of my favs also. Tim sure has come a long way since he first appeared in one of my favorite story arcs, A Lonely Place of Dying. I have always liked Tim ever since then and he didn't even become Robin right away.
I just knew that with the proper writer this was going to be a great character as Robin. I mean Tim figured out that Batman was Bruce Wayne to prove he deserved to be Robin. Tim is just one those characters that seems to get great writers and artists for his books. Red Robin looks like another must read book.

I pronounce Ra's al Ghul the same the same way! I thought the issue was better than the first issue. I'm not sold on the artist at times it comes off lazy. Good job on the volume. Where's your voice impersonations like G-man? LOL
Ewww who says RAYSH al Ghul, Puh! it totally sounds like RAHZ al Ghul and thats how they pronounce it in the movie and the cartoon series. anyways enough of that, great review I can't wait for more red robin, it's my favorite series out there right now, and I'm primarily a marvel kid, Go Tim DRAKE, I also never understood why he wanted to shed his true last name
My first exposure to Tim Drake was that I happened to pick up Robin #1 when Azrael took over for Bruce and kicked Tim out of the cave. I had no idea that there was a second and even third Robin at the time but since then I'm been a Tim fan. I will definitely have to pick this up.
Kinda like G-Man pronouncing Pym. You read something enough times you imagine how its pronounced then just can't get it out if someone tells you its something different. If I ever write comic books I'm gonna have a pronounciation guide for the harder names.

I can't stand Tim in this issue, he's such a whiny little bitch and is acting like he's the only one that's suffering. I also don't get why he's acting like such an anti-hero now, is he doing it just for the sake of the costume if so that's just stupid. I hope Dick kicks his ass in the fourth issue.

I really think the anti-christ Batman Damian killed in Batman 666 was Tim or Jason and not that Michael Lane guy because he says Batman was like his father to if Tim is becoming darker than it makes me think that is what happened.
